Cattrall, who has shared various snaps and gushed about her mother on social media over the years, last shared a photo of her in May.

Cattrall told The Guardian in 2019 that her mother had a difficult upbringing and was formidable.
"[Her] childhood was shocking and dramatic," she said.
"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.”
