Sensitive Skin's Kim Cattrall on aging and good TV
HBO Canada actress opens up about her instincts and developing programs for women
Kim Cattrall, the actress best known for playing the sensual 'Samantha' on Sex and the City, stars in a new series called Sensitive Skin.
In it, she plays an aging former actress and model going through a mid-life crisis.
At the show's launch party Thursday in Toronto, the 57-year-old told CBC Arts Reporter Zulekha Nathoo that she was drawn to the project because it addressed aging in a humorous way.
"I was just struck by how original it was, it was really a fresh voice. I'd never heard this story line told before especially in a comedic vein."
Cattrall also feels it's important for woman to have more things to watch on TV.
"I don't feel served as an audience. I see shows but they're mostly male-oriented and there's lots of violence."
The half-hour comedy Sensitive Skin premieres Sunday on HBO Canada.
