The Daily Beast - The Yes List - April 8, 2011
*************************************************************************
Each week, The Daily Beast sifts through the cultural landscape to
choose three top picks. This week, a startling indie turn from Kim
Cattrall, a roundtable discussion about David Foster Wallace's 'The Pale
King,' and a beloved period drama sneaks back onto television.
So Long, Samantha Jones
Kim Cattrall's a long way from Fifth Avenue in her new film 'Meet Monica
Velour.' The 'Sex and the City' icon is in the middle of a surprising
career move, trading in her Manolos to play a broken-down porn star. But
this isn't the first time Cattrall's avoided being pigeonholed. As
feminist icon Samantha Jones, she narrowly escaped the humiliating
purgatory of roles for middle-aged women, yet it's been seven years
since she and her small-screen counterparts left HBO. Her next step?
Casting off every remnant of glamour to portray a meth-snorting,
biker-snogging, aging '70s porn actress in writer-director Keith
Bearden's indie debut, released this weekend in New York and Los
Angeles. It's a semi-sweet coming-of-age story for her character Monica
and her oddball teenage fan (Dustin Ingram) who finds her at her trailer
park. It also shows the world a side of Cattrall we've never seen before
- makeup-less and carrying an extra 20 pounds. "I've been marginalized
in some ways, too," she confessed to The Daily Beast's Gina Piccalo. Her
latest role is a small but powerful one, and does plenty to erase any
memories of her cosmo-swilling, man-eating alter-ego.
