Kim Cattrall On 'And Just Like That...' Cameo & LGBTQ+ Representation In 'Glamorous' | The View

>> OH, MY GOD. TO YOUR HEALTH. I WISH IT WAS STRONGER THAN WATER. >> Sara: WE CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN. YOUR NEW SHOW IS SO MUCH FUN AND SO MUCH REPRESENTATION FOR THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY. [ APPLAUSE ] SO, IT'S INCLUSIVE. SO WHAT DREW YOU TO THIS ROLE? IT LOOKS FUN WATCHING YOU FROM HERE. >> IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND ALSO I'M A BIG FAN

OF "THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA" AND "UGLY BETTY" AND HAD ALL THOSE ELEMENTS BUT IT WAS A FRESH, NEW TAKE FOR THOSE REASONS YOU SAID, THE INCLUSIVITY. I LOVE WORKING WITH YOUNG ACTORS, AND SOME OF THEM -- IT CAN BE COMPLICATED SOMETIMES. BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THE STOP SIGNS ARE, YOU KNOW. THEY'RE JUST COMING WITH A LOT OF ENERGY AND SO EXCITED TO BE THERE. YES,

THEY DO. THEY DO. >> Sunny: YOU'VE HAD A LONG FRIENDSHIP WITH PATRICIA FIELD. I STALKED HER AT THE "VARIETY" PICTURE AND HAD PICTURES WITH HER. [ APPLAUSE ] THE FASHION SHE HAD -- THE PLACE ON EIGHTH STREET IN THE VILLAGE. I ALMOST LIVED THERE. YOU WERE BACK WORKING TOGETHER ON "GLAMOROUS." >> YES, SHE WAS SO BUSY SHE WAS ONLY DOING ME SO WE WOULD COME WITH

NANCY WHO WAS THE COSTUME DESIGNER FOR THE SHOW AND WE WOULD GO SHOPPING. IT'S SO MUCH FUN. YOU KNOW -- >> Sunny: WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S SO SPECIAL TO WORK WITH HER? >> SHE KNOWS MY BODY REALLY WELL. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Joy: REALLY? >> YES, WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER. ME CLOTHED AND UNCLOTHED. AND SHE KNOWS WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE CHARACTER. SHE'S

ALWAYS STUDYING THE SCRIPT. I ADMIRE HER SO MUCH. SHE REALLY CHANGED HOW EVERY -- ALL OF US -- >> Sunny: DEFINITELY. >> NOT BEING AFRAID OF COLOR FOR THE CHARACTERS THAT I PLAYED THAT SHE'S DONE THE COSTUMES MORE SO I JUST LOVE HER TO DEATH. SHE'S GOT A DOCUMENTARY. IT'S CALLED "HAPPY CLOTHES" AND I SAY, WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO? SHE SAID, BECAUSE I

LIKE TO MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY. [ LAUGHTER ] SHE REALLY HAS MADE ME. >> Alyssa: I LOVE FRANCO'S CHARACTER. I BINGED IT. ANOTHER THING WE KNOW YOU'RE PERFECT FOR, FANS, MYSELF INCLUDED THRILLED TO HEAR YOU'LL HAVE A SCENE IN THE NEW SEASON OF "AND JUST LIKE THAT" REPRISING YOUR ROLE AS SAMANTHA. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] I KNOW YOU CAN'T TELL US MUCH. BUT WHAT CAN YOU

SHARE WITH US? >> WELL, IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO GET A CALL FROM THE HEAD OF HBO SAYING, WHAT CAN WE DO? I WENT, HMM. LET ME GET CREATIVE AND ONE OF THOSE THINGS WAS TO GET PAT FIELD BACK BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, IF I'M GOING TO COME BACK, I GOT TO COME BACK WITH THAT KIND OF SAMANTHA STYLE AND I GOT TO PUSH IT.

[ APPLAUSE ] AND WE DID. AND WE DID. >> Alyssa: CAN'T WAIT. >> Joy: YOU WERE HONORED AT "VARIETY'S" POWER OF WOMEN EVENT AND YOU TALKED ABOUT HOW YOUR SECRET FOR SUCCESS IS LEARNING TO SAY NO, WHICH IS INTERESTING. MY FRIEND LEE GRANT WROTE A BOOK CALLED "I ALWAYS SAID YES." >> I READ THAT BOOK, IT'S A WONDERFUL BOOK. >> Joy: YOU'RE SAYING, I ALWAYS SAY

NO. >> I DON'T ALWAYS SAY NO BUT I THINK AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE ESPECIALLY WHERE I WANT TO SPEND THE TIME AND WITH WHOM IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME. AND WHAT I WANT TO SAY WITH THE CHARACTERS THAT I PLAY, SO I'VE LEARNED THROUGH THE YEARS TO SORT OF TAKE A STEP BACK AND SEE MYSELF DOING SOMETHING AND REALLY REGISTER HOW THAT FEELS. DOES

THAT FEEL RIGHT OR, NO, I SHOULD BE OVER ON THIS TRACK OVER HERE, THAT FEELS MORE ME, MORE NOW. >> Joy: DON'T YOU GET IN TROUBLE WITH DIRECTORS IF YOU SAY, NO, I DON'T WANT TO STAND OVER THERE? >> NO, I LIKE TO THINK AT THIS POINT I CAN COLLABORATE SO -- THERE HAS TO BE A REASON I SAY NO AND I THINK, WELL, YOU KNOW,

I CAN'T SIT ON THE BENCH WITH THE KIDS BECAUSE THEY ALL WORK FOR ME. I'M THE HEAD OF THIS CORPORATION SO I WOULDN'T BE SITTING ON THE COUCH WITH THEM. I WOULD BE SITTING ON THE THRONE. >> Joy: RIGHT, RIGHT. >> Whoopi: A LOT OF HELENA RUBENSTEIN WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER. SHE WAS MAKEUP AT ITS FINEST WHEN I WAS A KID AND SO YOU

WOULD JUST SEE HELENA RUBENSTEIN. THAT'S WHAT I SAW WHEN -- >> THAT'S A BIG ONE. >> Sara: YOU'RE STARRING IN A NEW MOVIE "ABOUT MY FATHER". >> Whoopi: IT'S ABOUT YOUR FATHER? >> Sara: NO, IT'S CALLED "ABOUT MY FATHER." BUT WITH SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO, HILARIOUS, LESLIE BIBB, ROBERT DE NIRO. NOW, THERE'S A SCENE -- >> AND ROBERT DE NIRO. >> THROW IN ROBERT D. OVER THERE. HE'S

MASSAGING YOUR HAIR AT ONE POINT AND CUTTING AND MASSAGING. >> VERY MEMORABLE MOMENTS. TELL US ABOUT THIS. >> Joy: LET'S HEAR ABOUT THAT. >> FIRST OF ALL, HE'S ROBERT DE NIRO. >> Sara: YEAH. >> THE MOST AMAZING THING ABOUT HIM, HE JUST COMES TO GO TO WORK. YOU KNOW, HE WANTS TO PLAY WITH YOU. HE WANTS YOU TO COME UP WITH STUFF SO HE CAN SPARK

AND WE DID THAT. >> Whoopi: YEAH, DON'T REALIZE HOW FUNNY HE IS. >> Joy: HE IS HILARIOUS IN THESE COMEDIES. >> Sara: DOES HE GIVE A GOOD MASSAGE? >> I'M STILL TALKING ABOUT IT. THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY. >> Sunny: YOU WERE BORN IN LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND. >> YES, I WAS SUWAS. >> Sunny: YOU WERE ABLE TO VOTE IN THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. WON'T ASK WHO

YOU VOTED FOR. >> YOU DON'T NEED TO. >> Sunny: HOW DID IT FEEL TO HAVE A VOICE IN THE ELECTION? >> IT TOOK ME TOO LONG. THIS WAS AN IMPERATIVE ELECTION FOR ME AND I WAS VERY MOTIVATED. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS, YOU KNOW, DURING THE PANDEMIC AND THINGS WERE DIFFICULT. I WAS NOT GOING TO LAY BY THE WAYSIDE AND SAY, WELL, WHAT HAPPENS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

I BECAME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WHICH I'M VERY, VERY PROUD OF. >> Joy: DO YOU HAVE DUAL CITIZENSHIP IN CANADA? [ APPLAUSE ] SO YOU'RE A BRITISH CITIZEN, CANADIAN AND AMERICAN CITIZEN? >> I AM, YES, BUT SPEND MOST OF MY TIME IN AMERICA. >> Joy: I SAW YOU IN SOMETHING BRITISH. WHAT WAS IT? WERE YOU PLAYING MRS MRS. HALVERSHAM? >> NOT YET. NOT YET. >> Whoopi: IT'S

ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WATCH YOU. >> AW, THANK YOU. >> Whoopi: JOURNEYMAN -- >> Sara: THE HIGHEST COMPLIMENT. >> AND PROUD TO BE SO. [ APPLAUSE ] >> Whoopi: SO, "GLAMOROUS" IS OUT NOW ON NETFLIX SO YOU CAN CATCH IT ON NETFLIX AND "ABOUT MY FATHER" IS ON DEMAND. IT'S VERY FUNNY. I THINK YOU'LL LIK
