Talk:Kim Cattrall

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".

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.

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: [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.121.151.142 (talk) 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 [2] and guardian [3] 77.96.49.30 (talk) 20:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

... and someone has changed it back to Widnes again <sigh>. 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) 01:55, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Bibliography

C. has (co-)authored at least three books (Satisfaction, Girl and Sexual Intelligence). In a biography it seems prudent to list them

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?

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)

NPOV

I fully agree with Ben...whether it was the author's intent or not, they definitely wrote it with a bias point of view.

NPOV

I have removed much of the non-NPOV info from this article. Can I remove the notice? Ckessler

NPOV

The last two sentences from "Childhood" still read like a soft-porn edition of People magazine... could you just remove them?

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?

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.Andrewjnyc 19:04, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

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)

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)

Deleted content

Unsourced statements or statements compromised by weasel wording, such as the speculation over why Sex and the City ended which I have just removed, are unacceptable under WP:BLP. There may be other aspects of this article that will need to be deleted unless sources are provided. 23skidoo (talk) 12:47, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Return of Eleanor Kilgallen

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)

Picture of Kim

Hello! I don't really use Wikipedia Commons, but there's a great picture of her here: [4], so could someone with an account put it on her page? Adaircairell (talk) 20:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Engaged to Daniel Banzali

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

Source: http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20142039,00.html

When I tried to add this to the article, the rest of her page was deleted. I did not know how to fix it so I just undone it and decided to post here. Could someone please properly add it to the article? 23:39, 12 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.19.20.171 (talk)
