Talk:Kim Cattrall

Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:17, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

NPOV needed
this article is gushing about how amazingly sexy and talented she is... What? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noirish (talk • contribs) 10:46, 8 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Agreed. This article has some good information, but overall reads like a fan page you would expect in People magazine. Ben 07:36, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I fully agree with Ben...whether it was the author's intent or not, they definitely wrote it with a bias point of view. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Black Kat (talk • contribs) 07:08, 15 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I have removed much of the non-NPOV info from this article. Can I remove the notice? Ckessler —Preceding undated comment added 21:59, 30 December 2005 (UTC).


 * The last two sentences from "Childhood" still read like a soft-porn edition of People magazine... could you just remove them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brainybear (talk • contribs) 12:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Possible factual error
Cattrall (and the others) have stated that there was no feuding on set, but it was rumored, so that part of the Trivia is true. However, I don't think she was able to make it to Parker's birthday party. She was in a play at the time and couldn't make it; thusly, no feud could have been mended there. At least, this is what I believe was stated in the E! True Hollywood Stories about Sex and the City I was watching earlier. Can someone check and correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.209.60.58 (talk • contribs) 22:37, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Desperate Housewives, Bob Clark
I think we should call bullshit on the KC-on-Desperate Houseives rumor, which originated with a fairly untrustworthy UK tabloid nearly a year ago now and hasn't been confirmed by either more relieable sources or an appearance by KC on the show. If no-one objects or beats me to the punch, I'll take it down in a day or two (or will try to remember to do so, anyway!). Also, I was surprised by any lack of a reference to Kim's tendency to collaborate with the great Canadian B-director Bob Clark--all their films together are mentioned, but with no ref to Clark or their working relationship. For some reason I though he was one of her ex-husbands, but further research proves otherwise. If I add anything, it'll just be a couple words with a link to the article on Clark.

Sex and the City (2008)
She's listed in her body of work as being in Sex and the City in 2008, I'm assuming that should be changed unless that's specifically referring to the movie, which may or may not be in the works. Anyone? JohnnyRush10 08:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Birthplace
Kim Catrall was not born in Walton Liverpool. She was born in Widnes, north Cheshire at Crow Wood Hospital. I grew up in Widnes and it is a well known fact and is publicised by the local council. I am unable to edit the section with this information in it. The present information is factually incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Distortedvision (talk • contribs) 22:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)


 * This article states that Kim was born in Widnes, but an interview article with her from the liverpool echo it says she was born in Mossley hill, which is actually in Liverpool. Which is right?. The article is here:
 * —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.121.151.142 (talk • contribs) 09:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I also don't get why this article says she is born in Widnes. However having had difficulty proving Halle Berry's mother was born in Liverpool apart from newspaper reports, I am not going to get into this debate. The Echo report can go on the article as a reference. Dmcm2008 (talk) 08:46, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * In interviews, and on various websites, Liverpool is always stated as her birthplace. It is only on Wikipedia that I have ever seen it stated that she was born anywhere else.Werdnawerdna (talk) 02:04, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I've changed the birthplace back to Liverpool as the Windes claim is unsourced. Also major media organisations give the birthplace as Liverpool. See Times and guardian  77.96.49.30 (talk) 20:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)


 * ... and someone has changed it back to Widnes again . In an interview on the BBC program The Paul O'Grady Show, she says *herself* that she is from Liverpool. It can be seen on youtube (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1d6Rt61HrDk) - coincidentally, at the 1-minute mark. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.226.44 (talk • contribs) 01:55, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Birthplace redux
I have added two Liverpool Echo articles (one mentioned above) to give source that Kim Cattrall is from Liverpool. There is no evidence to prove she is from Widnes and there is evidence from Kim Cattrall herself to prove her Liverpool roots. Babydoll9799 (talk) 18:50, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I also viewed the You Tube interview (Paul O'Grady show ) where Kim Cattrall confirms she is from Liverpool, (proud of it) and even puts on a Liverpool accent. She is with another local star Spice Girl Mel C from Whiston (Mel C confirms she was born in Whiston Hospital and does not mention Widnes either). Babydoll9799 (talk) 19:01, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Please read earlier discussion on birthplace. There has been some debate on this is it Liverpool or Widnes, the answer is Liverpool and this has been sourced. Please be wary of persistance to add Widnes. Babydoll9799 (talk) 19:10, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I've just changed the infobox birthplace from St Helens to Liverpool, following a reading of reference 1, and listening to reference 2, neither of which support the St Helens birthplace, indeed reference 1 specifically says she was born in Mossley Hill, which is part of Liverpool. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 22:27, 12 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Argh! Someone's gone and reinstated Widnes again. Regardless of what local press in St Helens said last week, she was NOT born there. I have spent a credit on ancestry.co.uk and confirm that the entry on the register of births registered in July, August and September 1956 reads:
 * CATTRALL, Kim V. (mother's maiden name) BAUGH (Registration district) Liverpool S. (Volume/page) 10 d 1061
 * The Liverpool South Registration District operated between 1 April 1934 and 1 October 1969, and included the wards of Abercromby, Aigburth, Allerton, Brunswick, Castle Street, Childwall, Dingle, Edge Hill, Exchange, Garston, Granby, Great George, Kensington, Little Woolton, Low Hill, Much Woolton, Princes Park, Scotland, Sefton Park, St Anne’s, St Peter’s, Toxteth Park, Vauxhall, Wavertree and West Wavertree. It most certainly did NOT include Widnes or St Helens. -- Arwel Parry (talk) 21:38, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Birthplace vandalism
I am not an expert of Wikipedia. I am calling on someone to prevent this persistant vandalism and reference to Widnes. BEFORE you edit, note that Wikipedia clearly states articles poorly sourced should not be added and should be removed. Babydoll9799 (talk) 09:52, 5 January 2010 (UTC)


 * At the moment, "East Helena, Canada" appears in the writing under the photo, near the word "born". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.254.83 (talk • contribs) 12:09, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Eleanor Kilgallen
I added details about Kilgallen, the Universal Studios representative who was in charge (together with her business partner Monique James) of the contract player system run by the studio. It was a system that helped aspiring actors get television guest - star roles. James was like a den mother to the contract players who lived in Los Angeles, while Kilgallen handled the New York - based actors, Cattrall included, who got legitimate stage jobs to supplement television work. By this time (late 1970s) box - office movies did not use contract players anymore. If you acted in, say, Smokey and the Bandit, you were freelancing.

As no biography of Cattrall is known to exist, the actress herself could be the only person who can verify my claim of Eleanor Kilgallen's role in her rising career during the late 1970s. Debbiesvoucher (talk) 10:13, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The stuff about Eleanor is sourced. I put it back in the article with a good source: an article in the Sunday Los Angeles Times from 1977.  If you doubt who I am, contact the Los Angeles City Library system and ask them to traceroute the computer I'm using now signed in under my library card number and the last four digits of my private phone number.  Thanks for your attention.  Please don't remove Eleanor Kilgallen anymore. Nyannrunning (talk) 20:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Eleanor Kilgallen redux
This short passage from an old edit is well-sourced and should go back in. It is back in unless someone removes it for the third time. Please discuss here before removing it so we can avoid vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.26.156.93 (talk • contribs) 08:15, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Birth name
Kim Cattrall's birth name was in actual fact Clare Woodgate, the article claims her birth name is Kim Cattrall. (82.38.123.191 (talk) 20:38, 5 January 2008 (UTC))


 * biography.com states that her birth name was Clare Woodgate.Werdnawerdna (talk) 02:04, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * No, Kim Cattrall's birth name is Kim Victoria Cattrall. Clare Woodgate is the birth name of actress Georgina Cates. At once stage Cattrall's IMDB profile alleged her birth name was "Clare Woodgate". The Observer newspaper took this as fact and published it in a 2005 interview, but later ran this apology:
 * Our interview below was wrong to repeat a website which said she was born in Liverpool in 1956 'as plain Clare Woodgate'. She was born to Shane and Dennis Cattrall in Liverpool as Kim Victoria Cattrall. Apologies.
 * The IMDB entry has been corrected but other websites still repeat this erroneous "fact". 118.90.42.34 (talk) 10:51, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Kim was not just linked to Daniel Benzali, she was engaged to him in 1996.

Nationality
I have just watched the Kim Catrall episode of "Who do you think you are" on the BBC. About 2mins in Kim declares "I am British". I have adjusted page accordingly. Spudbynight (talk) 22:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Kim Cattrall is an English Canadian. Here we make changes according to the reliable sources; you may have watched the episode, but we can't make changes based on that. AdjustShift (talk) 14:03, 12 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Just so you are aware someone can be English and British. They are not exclusive. If someone is English they are also automatically British. Kim Cattrall is not just of British ancestry but of British birth. She was born in England to two english parents. She also self identifies as English/British. I have provided a single verrifiable source quoting her as stating 'I am English'. I have also quoted a second source, including the broadcast date, where she states 'I am British'. Neither statement contradicts the other. Here we don't make changes unless able to quote a source. Please don't change this. Spudbynight (talk) 17:43, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I have added a third reference quoting the BBC programme. This is a direct quote from Kim herself. Spudbynight (talk) 17:47, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I have changed the clumsy reference to her being English/Canadian/American as it just reads like a car crash. We have direct quotes from Kim where she self identifies as British or being more specific English. (Neither are mutually exclusive in the same way someone can be a Texan AND an American). She was born in England to two English parents. This looks fairly open and closed to me (and I am Irish rather than English) Just because she has American citizenship does not make her American. American has a very restictive immigration policy meaning many people claim American citizenship in order to facilitate working in the US. I was born in Ireland to Irish parents but I also have American citizenship. I worked for many years in New York and I acquired citizenship. I would never in a million years consider myself as anything other than Irish. There is a trend on Wiki for people of other nationailites to be claimed as American/Something simply because they claim citizenship. I think this is completely wrong and something which probably needs to be looked into in more detail. I know Kim has spent a long time in North America and what I think is probably the best solution is to describe her as 'an English Actress who spent much of her life in Canada before later moving to the United States and claiming American citizenship'. What do others think? 89.101.49.199 (talk) 22:35, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Some people keep vandalising on this. I would second that it should say "English actress". For reference in the UK your nationality is "British". You can still be English aswell of course! Babydoll9799 (talk) 19:29, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that either British or English are acceptable. There is precedent for English being used on the Sean Connery page but British is equally valid (for Kim or Sean) Spudbynight (talk) 09:29, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I had to check to be sure(re last edit it is not April 1st), but of course isnt Sean Connery Scottish? Not English? Babydoll9799 (talk) 09:58, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I wasn't clear there. I mean the precedent is that Sean Connery is classed as Scottish rather than British. Sean Connery is still technically British but I wouldn't be brave enough to call him that to his face! Kim Catrall is English and she is also British. I think in her case either are accurate. Spudbynight (talk) 17:57, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Nationality redux
It would be better, in the light of her career and nationality, to describe her as "English born". IXIA (talk) 22:08, 2 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Why? She is English born to an English family and self identifies as English. Makes her English in every way
 * There are three references to support this 78.105.154.28 (talk) 20:41, 20 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Can people stop editing her nationality without citing a source. I have have to revert her nationality to English from "English born, English and Canadian raised, American actress" - That was a mouthful! Spudbynight (talk) 22:03, 10 June 2010 (UTC)


 * She is, according to the sources, an English born British subject, and a naturalized citizen of both Canada and the USA. That makes her English/Canadian/American. It is editorializing in a way that Wikipedia should not, to down play any of her three citizenships without a source. As such the intro should just read "English/Canadian/American" (since she is all three) and the details go later in the personal life sections. —MJBurrage(T•C) 03:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)


 * As per MOS:BIO, ethnicity is not emphasized. If lived in the U.S. and was an American citizen when she became notable, that is generally what should be listed. Nymf hideliho! 16:14, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

She self identifies as British/English rather than English/Canadian/American 78.105.154.28 (talk) 20:43, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

I have removed the last source. No direct quote attributed to Cattrall. She became a US citizen in 2008, long after she became notable. I am happy to go with consensus on this but there is no reason for 'American' to be anywhere in the mix 78.105.154.28 (talk) 20:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * As she self-identifies as English, it is what should be listed then. By no stretch should American be included. Nymf hideliho! 21:36, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Why is she English and not English/Canadian again ? She left England when she was 3 months old that's almost around the time S.Nash moved to Canada, going back between 11 and 16 is only 5 years of her early to adult life. She grew up in Canada, whether that makes her feel Canadian or not doesn't matter that has to have the effect of making someone a Canadian. It doesn't matter what she self identifies with, she grew up mostly in Canada and considers a Canadian city her hometown. It's clear that she's also Canadian.Grmike (talk) 06:03, 25 January 2011 (UTC)grmike She was born in England to two English parents. That makes her English by birth and by blood. She identifies as English. She has lived most of her life in America - that doesn't make her American in the same way that living in Canada doesn't make her Canadian. 78.105.154.28 (talk) 17:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Sources, people, sources - the only quote we have from here is "I'm British" (not English), and two dead links. Nothing else about self-identification.  And for the record, "nationality" on WP usually refers to citizenship, not ethnicity.  "English" is an ethnicity (as well as a geographic label), "British" and "Canadian" are citizenships.  Therefore I propose a change to:
 * Kim Cattrall is an English-born actress of British, Canadian, and American citizenship.
 * How's that? --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 13:08, 9 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Is this debate still rolling? I quite agree with the above (English born of British Canadian American citizenship). I can understand that people would want to say she is Canadian too..However how can she be English Canadian if she was not born in Canada? If you were to refer to people of Irish decent in American, they are Irish American, or there is Italian American. But they are not born in those countries. In which case i think you might call Mike Myers British Canadian..He was born in Canada his parents are both from Liverpool. Another example, actor Basil Rathbone has strong links to Liverpool but was born South Africa..there are bound to be countless people like this.....Babydoll9799 (talk) 12:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Please don't change this without consensus. With regards to the UK it is customary to identify a person's nationality specifically with respect to the constituent country they hail from. As an example see Sean Connery who is listed as Scottish. This does not preclude him from also being British. Kim Cattrall self identifies as British in the link provided but hails from England specifically. She can be listed as British or English, both are correct. Listing her as English simply provides further detail. It would be acceptable to list her as British over English if there was some doubt as to where in Great Britain she came from. If for example her mother was Scottish and her father English. There is no doubt in this instance. She was born in England. Both of her parents are English. She self identifies as British (which does not preclude her from being English). The fact that she later took Canadian and US citizenship does not alter this fact. 87.194.162.141 (talk) 22:37, 11 February 2011 (UTC) Further to this, we have a direct quote from her stating she "is British". Until we have a direct quote from her claiming to be American or Canadian this should not be changed. 87.194.162.141 (talk) 22:40, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

On Sept. 28, 2011 Cattrall was interviewed on the Canadian radio show "Q" and at the very beginning of the interview she corrects the host and unequivocally states that she has NOT become an American citizen ("this is like one of those urban myths. I've never became an american citizen. I maintain my British subjectship and proudly my canadian citizenship"). You can find the Q archive here http://www.cbc.ca/q/episodes/. Her interview starts at 00:26:00 into the program. 75.80.178.234 (talk) 03:53, 29 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Nice find. I've seen her imply that the 2008 American citizenship rumor was just what it is (a myth) in other interviews, but that's the first one I've seen where she flat out states it.  I hope this settles the American thing once and for all.  Millahnna (talk) 06:48, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Here she identifies and an English Canadian New Yorker, she is dual (UK/Canada) citizen and does not hold US citizenship. http://www.cbc.ca/strombo/videos.html?ID=2147818166 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.57.148 (talk) 16:25, 7 October 2011 (UTC)  Hmm...sounds like she is English / Canadian then. 87.194.162.141 (talk) 19:45, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

immigrate/emigrate
Once again, in this edit, someone is trying to insist that Cattrall and her family "immigrated" to Canada. This is incorrect. It is like saying they "came" to Canada: the phrasing makes sense if you are in Canada (or at least North America), addressing a purely North American readership, but in no other circumstances. From where I'm sitting, it really jars. From a British or European perspective, they "went" to Canada, or they "emigrated" to Canada; these terms also make sense – and shouldn't cause problems – if you are reading the article in Australia, or Mozambique, or Siberia. I know North Americans talk about "immigration" and "immigrants" a lot, and "emigration" and "emigrants" hardly at all (because, hey, who'd want to leave?); but, actually, out here in the rest of the world we're a bit more attuned to the difference. Personally, I'd prefer to say the family "emigrated" (which makes sense because, at the start of the sentence, they, and therefore, in his or her imagination, the reader, are located in England). However, in the interests of avoiding too much dispute, I am once again reverting to the neutral – and I would have thought uncontentious – "migrated".

Lockerbie

 * In 2007, Cattrall said that in December 1988 she had been booked on Pan Am Flight 103, which crashed in Lockerbie, Scotland, after a terrorist bomb was detonated during the flight. She cancelled her booking on the flight at the last minute to complete some Christmas shopping in London.

Canadian English
Although Kim Cattrall was born in England and has a Canadian-English background, she is an American citizen, so I submit that American English should be used, because the style should follow the logical residency and the area where the subject made his or her influence that prompted the subject to have a Wikipedia article. MarydaleEd (talk) 19:54, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't agree with changing this established English variation. Per WP:ENGVAR, When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary. With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or the change reduces ambiguity), there is no valid reason for changing from one acceptable option to another. Her national ties to the US don't appear significantly stronger than her ties to Canada, so the established use of Canadian-English doesn't need to be changed. Schazjmd   (talk)  22:32, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Citizenship
Citizenship as referenced in lede and categories -- shouldn't it be "British-Canadian-American" (which is the chronological order), with corresponding categories? Article states she held dual UK and Canadian citizenship until she became a U.S. citizen in 2020. Angela Lansbury article, last time I checked, says "British-American-Irish". 107.127.46.37 (talk) 06:52, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Nationality wording in lede section.
So, it seems like people keep on changing her nationality. IMO, "British and Canadian", "English and Canadian" or "English-born Canadian" would be the most fitting given the details of her life. Cattrall's parents are English and she was born in England. But according to a interview with the Liverpool Echo (provided in her page) she moved to Canada at three months old and grew up in Canada. That same interview also states that she spent around a year of her childhood in the U.K. Though one of her major/notable roles was in the American television series "Sex and the City", she was a dual citizen of the U.K and Canada (per the June 2011 interview with The Guardian) until becoming an American citizen in 2020 for voting purposes.

"Kim Victoria Cattrall (/kəˈtræl/; born 21 August 1956) is a British and Canadian actress." -- Since she left UK at 4 months of age and became a U.S. citizen in 2020 ("Cattrall has held dual British and Canadian citizenship for most of life,[49] and became an American citizen in 2020 in order to vote in that year's election.[50][51]"), I posit it would be more accurate to word it like this:"Kim Victoria Cattrall (/kəˈtræl/; born 21 August 1956) is a British-born Canadian-American actress. (65.88.88.200 (talk) 21:27, 12 December 2021 (UTC))"
 * She was a dual British/Canadian citizen when she first became notable (see MOS:FIRSTBIO) and was born in England and spent her childhood in Canada and the U.K. Her most notable works, namely Sex and the City, are American productions, but adding three nationalities would seem kind of "clunky" and she didn't become an American citizen until last year.

in the same way that Taron Egerton considers himself to be Welsh and therefor is classed as such on wiki, I think Kim should always be classed as English first and foremost, as she is "proudly" a Liverpudlian & "always have been" according to her episode of Piers Morgan's Life Stories, it's the first thing that they talk about. Besides being born there and calling herself one I'm not sure how you could argue that she's anything but that, any other citizenship would have to come after (or just get mentioned further down the page) just like Clear Looking Glass says imo, but either way it gets changed too much — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterSelIers (talk • contribs) 19:26, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree. People keep changing it too much. I put the hidden comments a while back to hopefully get more discussion, but people still kept changing it. After some thought, I think "English and Canadian" would be the most appropriate given the details of her life. While she was born in England and does consider herself English, she moved with her family to Canada when she was an infant and has been a dual citizen for much of her life (per sources). And she grew up in Canada and the U.K. Cattrall gaining American citizenship last year is already mentioned in her article, but not relevant to her notability per WP:BIOLEAD and WP:ETHNICITY. If its worth mentioning, as far as residence goes, she now lives in Vancouver Island. Clear Looking Glass (talk) 08:01, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Two years later, I think we have a reasonable consensus on British and Canadian, and for the most part, her page hasn't been changed that often.
 * Her American citizenship is not relevant her notability. It was obtained in her 60s so she could vote in the 2020 election; long after she rose to prominence as an actress. Her birth, upbringing and part of education were in the U.K, though her family immigrated to Canada as a child, she also grew up there, and as of 2020, she resides primarily in B.C, Canada. Like many people, her career has been cosmopolitan, including work in Canada, the U.K and became a household name in America because of Sex and the City.
