Kim Cattrall's defining role as Samantha Jones brought both spunk and glamour to Sex and the City, but her paycheck was no match for Sarah Jessica Parker's. Parker reportedly picked up both lead actor and producer salary cards, while Cattrall reportedly earned less than half for much of the series. Since then, Cattrall has distanced herself from the franchise, stating that fair pay and creative respect, even if it meant leaving Samantha's fabulous wardrobe, were worth the cost.
