Kim Cattrall Stepping Out of Her Comfort Zone, To Play Washed Up Porn Star in New Movie

 Fox News - Kim Cattrall became a household name when she embodied the role of the sexually-charged, uber-confident Samantha Jones in HBO’s hit “Sex & the City.” But since the much-loved television series ended in 2004, and with no word of a third movie in the pipeline, Cattrall isn’t afraid to admit she has become just another aging Hollywood actress struggling to score a decent job...So its no surprise Cattrall jumped at the opportunity to play the multi-layered role of a washed-up porn star living in a trailer park in rural Indiana in the new independent comedy film “Meet Monica Velour.” But despite having been in the business for over 35 years, she claims to be far from the top of Hollywood’s 50+ hot list.

So she's playing herself right? I mean is there even acting involved here? I just assumed Kim had officially changed her name to Samantha Jones a few years ago just to make it easier on everyone.   Seriously, are the writers just writing Kim's real life story?  I mean if you had told me she was living in a trailer park in rural Indiana right now, I'd believe it.  Just living up her glory years at local bars, waiting for producers to call her for another Sex & the City sequel. 

I guess you do have to applaud her range somewhat.  I mean she is going from playing a high class, rich slut to just playing a slut.  She'll have to lose that stuck up, snotty air of importance that she normally incorporates.  But I'm assuming after making your career showing your tits and spreading your legs for every male actor you've ever been cast with she'll be able to adapt.  She's a professional after all.
