Kim Cattrall: Why I’m so proud to be a Scouser

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall talks to ECHO showbiz reporter Tina Miles about her love for Liverpool, the proposal she made to playwright Willy Russell and how different her life might have been had she stayed here Read (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/local-news/2008/06/09/kim-cattrall-why-i-m-so-proud-to-be-a-scouser-100252-21044664/)

I love Kim Cattrall and I thouroughly enjoyed her article in the Echo the other week.

I have one question though, why does the odd magazine or newspaper claim she was born in Widnes when we know she was born in Liverpool?
