The actress celebrated her 69th birthday on Thursday, using Instagram to mark the occasion with a selfie featuring her holding a flute of champagne and wearing a Moon Mammoths baseball cap.
She wrote in the caption to her 1.6 million followers: ‘Thank you for all your Birthday wishes! ❤️’
One fan joined the comments and made reference to her SATC character Samantha Jones.
The person wrote: ‘And Just Like That…we all know [it] was Sam who carried the entire franchise. You, embodied everything that is the essence of a strong, powerful, and vulnerable woman. we love and respect you.’
Kim acknowledged the note by giving it a ‘like.’

And Just Like That actor Chris Noth appeared to take sides in the long-running feud on Thursday, as he was the only one from the Sex And The City franchise to wish Kim a happy birthday.
The canceled 70-year-old actor faced a slew of sexual assault allegations in 2021, shortly after his character Big was killed off.
Kim was reportedly paid $1 million to briefly renew her role as PR mogul Samantha Jones for a 70-second cameo in the season two finale of AJLT.
She agreed only after negotiating directly with HBO Max chairman and CEO Casey Bloys.
In June 2023, she appeared on The View and said, ‘It’s very interesting to get a call from the head of HBO saying, “What can we do?” and I went, “Hmm, let me get creative.”

‘And one of those things was to get [costume designer] Pat Field back because I just thought that if I’m going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style. I gotta push it. And we did!’
It comes after fans voiced their dissatisfaction with the characters and plot lines in the final AJLT episodes.
Viewers were left particularly furious following episode eight, and accused the show’s main characters of competing for ‘biggest dummy.’
The episode, called Happily Ever After, saw Carrie reunite with boyfriend Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) nearly relapse on alcohol.
The divisive show sparked controversy with several plot points, including Miranda cheating on husband Steve (David Eigenberg) with non-binary comic Che Diaz, and Carrie claiming ‘love of her life’ Mr. Big was a ‘mistake.’
The previous episode dropped hints about Carrie’s ending, following her final split from Aidan, and the end of her fling with her neighbor Duncan (Jonathan Cake).
In the finale, Carrie realizes that she may end up being single for good.
