Kim Cattrall

What I admire most about Kim Cattrall is her refusal to be defined on anyone else's terms. Playing Samantha Jones could have trapped a lesser actress forever, but Cattrall turned the role into a cultural statement about women owning their desires at any age, then walked away when the project no longer served her. That takes a spine most performers lack. Her Liverpool-to-Canada upbringing gave her a slight outsider's edge that I think fuels her fearlessness. Five Emmy nominations confirm the craft, but it's her boundary-setting offscreen that makes me respect her as a person, not just a performer.
