Kim Cattrall, Samantha from “Sex and the City”, was ecstatic about her first trip to Greece with her partner Russell Thomas.
Cattrall spent three days in Athens, fully appreciating the country’s natural beauty, the warmth of the Greek people, and of course, the delectable Greek cuisine.
Kim Cattrall: “Wonderful first visit to Greece”
“Wonderful first visit to Greece,” she wrote on her Instagram account, accompanying her post with a “Thank you” written in Greek, as well as the song “Someday Someway” by internationally renowned Greek artist Demis Roussos.
The 67-year-old actress was in Athens as a guest at the three-day grand opening party of the luxurious One & Only Aesthesis resort in Asteria Glyfada. She impressed everyone
Cattrall along with Kylie Minogue, magnetized the guests with their radiance, extroverted personality, and boundless energy.
She also visited the Acropolis and enjoyed the Greek sunset on the Athenian Riviera, and strolls with her partner.
Much like her beloved character Samantha Jones in Sex and the City, Cattrall doesn’t have a problem with dating younger men. Russell Thomas is 14 years younger than her.
Cattrall and Thomas have been dating for years after meeting for the first time in 2016.
According to People, Thomas was working as an audio engineer for the BBC in 2016 when the two met. “We kind of liked each other, we kept in touch, and then he came out to Vancouver,” Cattrall told the publication.
“It was very brave of him, because we didn’t really know each other, other than having had a few meals together. But he came and we got along great, and we’ve been together ever since!”
The actress has been married three times to date: to Larry Davis (1977-79), Andre J. Lyson (1982-89) and Mark Levinson (1998-2004).
Sex and the City received both acclaim and criticism
For her portrayal of Samantha Jones on HBO’s Sex and the City (1998–2004), she received five Primetime Emmy Award nominations and four Golden Globe Award nominations, winning the 2002 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.
She reprised the role in the feature films Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010), as well as in a cameo on its revival And Just Like That… (2023).
Sex and the City has received both acclaim and criticism for its subjects, characters, and themes, and is credited with helping to increase HBO’s popularity as a network.
The series has won several accolades, including seven of its 54 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, eight of its 24 Golden Globe Award nominations, and three of its 11 Screen Actors Guild Award nominations.
The series was ranked fifth on Entertainment Weekly’s “New TV Classics” list, and has been listed as one of the best television series of all time by Time in 2007 and TV Guide in 2013.
