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)
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)
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)

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.

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)
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 [4]) 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)

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)

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)
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)
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)

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".

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)
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 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)
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. Clear Looking Glass ( talk) 07:20, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
"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))
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)

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)
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)
Whoever put that she was linked to two basketball players is a moron, it's not true or it would be public knowledge. Is this site ever going to tell the truth about anything anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.105.43.104 ( talk • contribs) 04:52, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
"Cattrall has been married three times. Her 1977 to 1979 marriage to Larry Davis was annulled. "
Is that the famous Larry Davis, or some other one ? Eregli bob ( talk) 09:53, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

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".

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)
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 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)
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))
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)
