Cattrall had confirmed her And Just Like That cameo June 1, a day after Variety reported she had filmed her appearance without interacting with the cast or showrunner Michael Patrick King. The actress shot her scene in less than a day and then celebrated at home with her longtime partner, Russell Thomas. She said the experience was “fun” and made for a “wonderful afternoon.”
“We started shooting, I think, around noon and I finished about four o’clock,” Cattrall said on Today. ”And my partner Russ and I went home and had a dry martini.”
Her comment drew laughs from Kotb and Hager, who added, “You know what, that’s actually what Samantha would do!”
“Cha-ching,” Cattrall responded, “Yes!”
