Cattrall Implores Nephew to Skip Iraq

Kim Cattrall is best known for her role on Sex and the City. Well that and the howling girl’s coach who was given the appropriate nickname of Lassie in Porky’s. One of her more recent roles is a British wartime drama, My Boy Jack, which she stars in with Daniel Radcliffe. Apparently, the movie has sent a shock to her and she’s begun sending newspaper articles about the dangers of war to her young, 18 year old nephew. The goal is to get him to ignore the idea of serving in Iraq.

Cattrall is quoted by Wenn as saying:
“Even though my 18-year-old nephew’s grandfathers and great-grandfathers served in wars, there is no way I want to see my eager nephew sign up and serve in Iraq. And I have been anything but silent about it. My paternal grandfather was wounded at Passchendaele and when the Second World War was declared he signed up, dying of pneumonia after six months. My father grew up without a dad.”

“My young nephew has bad vision, like Jack Kipling (Daniel Radcliffe’s character), and can only see clearly through his right eye. Still his desire to serve is stronger than all the arguments. I don’t want him to be part of any war but I am powerless. It’s his decision. This doesn’t stop me emailing and sending him articles to try to stop him.”

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn't lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she's certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.
