I respect her for speaking her mind

Wow, Hollywood is ready getting on my nerves.
For heavens sake, she's an actress and has alot of publicity and promotions to associate her perosona with.I hope the movie turns out really fun and exciting, and may she get the highest pay.Kim broke alot of trends and rules on Mainstream TV. She's a total risk taker, divine and unique. Plus, she's done alot of modeling from time to time.Movie executives "STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE HER".

Women deserve alot more pay. Parents grow old, and we'll not every soulmate can afford to provide for his love ones. Granted, "you get what you give", or "put out or get out" strategy in this day and age. Do Stop "Underpaying" a hard working and soulful celebrity lie Beautiful Kim Cattrall.

i'd still do her

Kudos on honesty! But I still only make ten bucks an hour, so I'm not crying for her.

The headline is misleading. While Ms. Cattrall has never been among Hollywood's most highly compensated, she has most likely made a comfortable living. Just because she held out for better compensation for the Sex and the City feature doesn't mean she is in need of money. Perhaps Mss. Parker, Nixon and Davis should had held out for better contracts as well.

its the same in the real world, when you ask for a payhike from your boss! so kudoss for speaking your mind.

It's not about "speaking out your mind", or an act of "honesty", or "parents getting old", or not finding a "soul mate" or sugar daddy to provide for you, not about being "beautiful" or a "model", neither about "putting out". It's about self-worthiness - WOMAN'S LABOR IS NOT FOR CHARITY !
.
Women should assert worthiness in the labor market. EQUAL PAY. IT'S THE LAW !The pay gap must be eliminated. The percentage of work force is now 55 % Women; 45% men. Even more so in times of war, we are indispensable labor forces.
.
Good Lord, "putting out"?. Any woman w/ this mentality, or self-worth should be shot on the spot ! I mean SHOOT TO KILL !
.
"Women want the responsibilities and rewards that come with top positions ". PERIOD.
.
What about some audacity ?
.
Go to Princeton, then Harvard Medical School w/ full scholarships, then demand from your parents to give you back the full tuition they would have paid worth about $547,923.24 + 4.6% COMPOUNDED INTEREST FOR 7.5 YEARS; get paid $ 180,000 as a Trauma Surgeon, a starter pay out of Med School; serve 2 weeks a year in Iraq and Afghanistan for the next 10 years under Doctors Without Borders as payback to your country; build your own house; choose a man, stand next to him, NEVER behind him; AND NOT GIVING UP YOUR FREEDOM so easily. At 27, you'd be well beyond the 8th ball - without "putting out" or sugar daddy STANDING ON YOUR OWN !
.
ONE STONE, MANY BIRDS !

I hate whiners - especially a woman whiner !

I was taught at a very young age to save my money and invest wisely. I did. I wish these stars would get a financial advisor or someone to help them save the millions they make. Then they wouldn't have to work for the money...they could do it for fun which I am sure they want to do.

Maybe she should realize is that her appeal on the show was that she was a tramp. If her acting was so amazing then she would be staring in lots of movies.

The idea that a woman can not negotiate her wage is ABSURD ! Of course she can ! It's all about negotiating skills, the ability to get the most out of the situation. It's about what you bring to the table. It's called FREE ENTERPRISE - An AMERICAN Hallmark !
.
Can this sitcom be made a movie without Cattrall? Without question! But can the movie be as good without that "tramp appeal" that she is famous for ? HECK NO! 30 million watch her worldwide! Millions to be made. She just want a piece of the action. Spreading the wealth - Vintage Americana.
.
Cattrall brings to the table that "tramp appeal". She does it best. Why shouldn't Cattrall use that advantage, but most important, why do you begrudge her ?
.
For a man to be greedy, it's good; for a woman, it's bad ? Brilliant women will always be ridiculed by men who believe her to be barefoot and pregnant. Cattrall's personification of Samantha is breaking all old rules. GREED IS GOOD !
.
Who is that fool who is willing to settle for $10/hour ?
.
If I was 1 of only 14 women Trauma Surgeon trained to save lives in the battle field, would I not want to be paid to the hilt. You bet your life, I insist!
.
MasonDixon, if you're a man - you are just another "macho" whose "sale date sex appeal" has long ago expired. You are now stale & irrelevant!
.
Worse if you're a woman. You are brain-beaten-to-the-pulp by a man who think you're worthless! You dare not reason or question authority because you are subservient !

Ha Ha I'll mail her a quater then she can call someone who cares cause I do not give a X@@##! if she's broke next time bank a little.

Thu Nov 8 2007 01:52:09 By: mmmmar ( 49)
i'm assuming if she had as many different pricks sticking out of her that she had stuck in her...she'd look like a porcupine

Felix: Cattrall has money - she's got tons of money. She just wants to get paid for what she's worth. I suspect her income from the re-run alone, for here and abroad will dwarf all of our incomes combined. I suspect she is also heavily invested on those Hedge Funds. Most Hollywood celebs are.
.
But that is not the point of the thread. Her service as an actor is not on "sale". She played hardball with the guys who control the money. SHE GOT THE PAYCHECK THAT SHE WANTS ! So evidently, to these Hollywood producers, she's worth every penny ! Good for Cattrall for sticking to her belief that the service of a woman is not for charity, and neither "on sale".
.
And you, mmmmar: You'd still be in a 100 mile-line to do her. Just like a PIG that you really are - you would do even a porcupine ! I bet you are a walking full blown AIDS carrier !
.
Cattrall or any woman will not even dare to touch you with a 10-ft pole. I'll probably will run you over ten times ! Saves you the agony of dying from AIDS !
.
Oink! Oink ! Oink.

whats your problem?
Im sayng that Kim Catralls appeal is that she was the "$luT" on an HBO show that was as popular as it was because of sex appeal.
now that she is crossing over into the old zone NO ONE cares about her or the other twits from that show.

Fri Nov 9 2007 02:06:17 By: ang4ever ( 263)
Now you're spinning. What you really meant was that if Cattrall was deserving of a hefty contract, she would have been in more movies.
.
You made a mistake, but you do not take responsibility, instead you shift the blame to others. You obviously have a poor view of women. I wasn't going to start the name calling game, but since you started, I can not allow you to tag any woman a "twit". How about if I call you a full blown moron. An inept-no-good-man !
.
Watch your mouth from now on ! You step out of line again, I will be there to chastise you.
.
Count on it.

Your attacking me when im clearly talking about an actress and not you. That shows ignorance. And Hate.
Yes i realise i sound like a "typical guy" but the fact is that Cattralls appeal was sex. period. That show lasted as long as it did and became as popular as it was because of sex.
So now that the smoke has cleared and the women are loosing their sex appeal--their carreers are suddenly washed up.
They may actualy be fine actresses but do they deserve the big paychecks? No. Their claim to fame is sex appeal. The appeal is gone. Career over.

Your attacks against Cattrall for her effort to negotiate her contract is an attack to women in general. And that includes 55% of the workforce.
.
Your commentaries are very significant not only to Cattrall but to all fine actress in films and arts, as well as all women in the work force, who had suffered lower wages to that of men. For years women in every field have been trying to brake the glass ceiling.
.
Cattrall is a trained actor. Saying her sex appeal is all she got to offer is the worse ignorance you can ever display. It's a personal attack to our intelligence.
.
Woman's sex appeal is hardly the only asset a woman brings in the work place. It may come as a surprise to you that women in general are more productive workforce. Furthermore, women just like her counterpart, have the right to demand for wage parity to that of men. ITS THE LAW. PERIOD.
.
The notion that when a woman's sex appeal is gone, her career is over and deemed useless is ABSURD. That happened in 1930 Germany, when women considered below physical attributes were gassed by Hitler. I will tell you in no uncertain terms that your view is sex discrimination at the very least, and crime against women, at worst. Your premise is clearly prohibited under Title VII of the US Labor Law.
.
I can only conclude with a name like Mason Dixon, that you are a Klan member. You must treat your mother, wife and daughters the way you view women - worthless without sex appeal. You truly disgust me.
