Kim Victoria Cattrall started out in life as Clare Woodgate and moved with her family to Canada when she was just 3 months old. They eventually settled in British Columbia but when she was 11, Cattrall returned to England when her grandmother became ill. While there she spent some time at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) before returning to Canada to finish high school, but she dropped out at 16 and moved to New York where she studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Art. Upon her graduation she signed a five-year movie deal with the famed director, Otto Preminger, and made her film debut in Preminger's Rosebud in 1975. A year later, she became one of the last participants of the Universal Contract Player System when the studio bought out that contract. Cattrall starred opposite Jack Lemmon in his Oscar-nominated movie Tribute in 1980 and in 1981 she starred in the critically acclaimed Ticket to Heaven. At 25, she briefly dated then Canadian Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau. Kim Cattrall costars with Paul Gross in the stage production of Noel Coward's Private lives, opening in Toronto in September at the Royal Alexandra Theatre.
