Kim Cattrall

In addition to her career as an actress she is also a writer, having co-written with her third husband Mark Levinson the book Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm. Cattrall was previously wed to Larry Davis and Andre Lusonin. However, Patricia and her husband are buried with Marion Davies. This character and several others she has portrayed are known for being sexually-open women. (Patricia married Arthur Lake, who played Dagwood in numerous films.) After Patricia's death, her family announced that she was in fact the daughter of Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst, though this claim does not appear to have been verified independently. Cattrall is better known for her work as "Samantha Jones" in Sex and the City. During the lifetime of Davies' niece Patricia Lake (née Van Cleeve), the latter was said to be the daughter of Marion Davies's sister Rose Davies and her first husband, George Van Cleeve. Subsequently she starred in the first Police Academy film in 1984, and in the first Mannequin in 1987. She is buried in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood.

Cattrall starred in a handful of films during the 1970s, but her first taste of international fame came in 1981 when she participated in the first Porky's film. Her funeral was attended by old-time Hollywood legends and President Herbert Hoover. In 1981, at age 25, she briefly dated the recently-divorced Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Marion Davies died in Hollywood, California. When she was 16, she moved to New York where she studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Art. She also fought childhood diseases through the Marion Davies Foundation. At the age of 3 months, Cattrall and her family moved across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada, eventually settling for a time in Nanaimo, BC. In 1952, Davies donated $1.9 million to establish a children's clinic at UCLA, which still bears her name.
