TORONTO — After years of playing single Samantha Jones on the streets of New York City, actress Kim Cattrall is playing a married woman on the streets of Toronto.
The Sex and the City star is filming the new comedy series Sensitive Skin around the city until mid-December.
Cattrall and Don McKellar play Davina and Al — a married couple who sell their home and move into a downtown condo to begin a new chapter in their lives.
The series, based on the British show of the same name, will debut next year on TMN and Movie Central.
Sensitive Skin also stars Elliott Gould, Colm Feore, Mary Walsh and Marc-André Grondin.
For Cattrall, 57, the project is a homecoming. Born in England, her family moved to B.C. when she was just three months old. She spent her early career working in both Vancouver and Toronto.
She made the 2005 movie Ice Princess in Toronto and starred on stage in Private Lives in early 2012. Cattrall was honoured for her TV and film work at the Canadian Screen Awards in March.
Since starting work on Sensitive Skin, the actress has been happily posing for photos with fans and tweeting pics from the set.
Cattrall posed with several Toronto Transit Commission workers while shooting scenes at Old Mill subway station and shared a shot of herself with the owners of Diana Groceries on St. Clair Avenue West.
She also got a little political, tweeting: “The HELL of Toronto. Mass saturation of Condos.”
