Red Hot (thecelebrityspice.blogspot.com) - Actress Kim Cattrall says she is glad that she is no longer considered a "sexual icon". because she has always thought of herself as a 'character actress stuck inside a leading lady’s body'.
"It was so much fun to leave behind this kind of sexual icon thing. I was so ready to shed it. I`ve been sexualised since a very early part of my career. I understand it, I`ve made it work for me, but I`ve always felt that I`m a character actress stuck inside a leading lady`s body. Now, I feel like I am doing my best work," contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.
She believes her latest work in Meet Monica Velour, where she plays an ageing ex-porn star working as a pole dancer, is a great opportunity to prove she has a wide range of talent.
“I read the script and I thought, ‘Why is no one campaigning to play this role? This is so well written, it’s touching, it’s sweet, it’s a love story. I thought, ‘Why are actresses my age not beating down the door?’ and I think part of it was because it is in the hands of a first time director.”
