When HBO Max announced its Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That..., which catches up with Carrie Bradshaw and her friends as they navigate their 50s, one member of the original show's iconic foursome refused to reprise her role. Kim Cattrall made it clear she was done playing Samantha Jones, the sex-positive PR powerhouse beloved by SATC fans.
"I went past the finish line playing Samantha Jones because I loved Sex and the City," she said two years ago. "It was a blessing in so many ways but after the second movie I’d had enough. I couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t just replace me with another actress," Cattrall added.
