The continuation of the cult TV series “Sex and the City” called “And just like that” annoyed many admirers of the original by the fact that one of the main characters, Samantha Jones, was absent from it. She was played by famous actress Kim Cattrall. However, due to a tense relationship with Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays Kerry Bradshaw, Kim flatly refused to star in And Just So.
Fans said that without Samantha, the Sex and the City sequel was like a sandwich without butter. Recently, a real sensation was made by the information that Cattrall agreed to return! It was then revealed that Samantha was only supposed to appear in one episode, but that was enough to keep millions of viewers looking forward to its premiere.
And now she’s done. On the evening of August 25, the episode “The Last Dinner” was shown by the streaming company HBO Max.
Attention, spoiler!
Cary Bradshaw is perhaps the main character of both series, but the favorite of the real fans was and remains Samantha Jones. In the six seasons of Sex and the City, Carrie has gone from fearless, independent sex reviewer to shoe fetish whiner who can’t function properly without a man.
But Samantha, free from children, jumping in bed during sex with another boy for fun, has always remained true to herself.
It took Kim Cattrall just 60 seconds to bring back the brilliance and fire to Just So, which he lacked for almost two years.
Yes, Samantha only appears on screen for one minute and does a few lines. At the same time, the scene is absolutely static - she is sitting in the back seat of a car driving through London and talking on the phone with Kerry Bradshaw.
Carey throws a farewell party for her friends in New York. She moves from an apartment, every corner of which is familiar to millions of viewers. And Samantha wanted to attend this last dinner, but she did not have time to fly in from London. She informs Kerry about this by phone. Asking her to turn on the speakerphone so she can say goodbye to Kerry’s famous apartment, she says in a fake English accent: “Thank you for everything, gosh, amazing, amazing apartment!”
Fans of the series wipe away tears and believe that Samantha probably slept with the chauffeur after this call before heading out to dinner with her new British girlfriends.
For this one-minute scene, Kim received $1 million. Such a high fee, as it turned out, was not the only condition for his return.
Cattrall, who turned 66 on August 21, said she received a phone call from an HBO executive asking what she needed to do to get Kim to agree to return.
The actress said she insists on being dressed again by famed costume designer Patricia Field. They worked together during the filming of all six seasons of Sex and the City.
Calling Field was not easy. Firstly, she was not invited to work on the TV series “And just like that”, and she was offended. Secondly, Field was busy filming the hit series Emily in Paris.
But for Kim’s sake, she agreed. Field dressed Cattrall in a red dress and gold coat and gave her a huge green bag. And Samantha in this outfit was irresistible.
In addition, Cattrall insisted that the famous cosmetologist Kira Panchenko do her makeup, and Ryan Trygstad do her hair. Ryan immediately came up with a new thin bangs for Samantha.
The scene was filmed in March in New York. Filming took four hours, after which, according to Kim, she “went home and drank a big martini.” never met any of his three former colleagues.
Recall that the star of the cult series “Sex and the City” was accused of rape.
Earlier in the network appeared footage of the first role of Meghan Markle.
