Cattrall has always shared the love she has for her mother with her followers. Back in February, the Sex and the City actress took to her Instagram to share a photo from her mother's 93rd birthday celebration.
The post included a selfie of the mother-daughter duo as Shane donned a darling yellow polka dot dress with a tan cardigan, which she accessorized with beaded necklaces.
"Happy 93rd Birthday Mum! 🎂 You’ve seen it all and we’re lucky to still have you with us. ❤️," Cattrall wrote in the caption.
Later in March she also shared a sweet video of her mother singing "Oh Mr. Porter" by the 1964 English rock group Herman's Hermits.
In an interview with The Guardian in 2019, Cattrall opened up about her mother's upbringing, stating, "My mother's childhood was shocking and dramatic." She continued, elaborating that "her father abandoned my grandmother, leaving her in terrible poverty, struggling to bring up three children. As I've got older that's inspired me to want to tell stories about real women who are not Superwoman but need extraordinary powers to survive."
