Tricky, Wikipedia says she is married to the audio designer Mark Levinson:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Catrall#Personal_life

Who would seem to be this chap:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0506071/

The source used for that (as we can't trust Wikipedia) says:

Mr. Levinson, a broad-shouldered man who is ruggedly handsome, even with
tufts of gray hair sprouting from his ears, is the founder of Red Rose
Music, a high-end audio-equipment company. He is also a jazz musician
(fluegelhorn). He and Ms. Cattrall met at a jazz club.
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/01/27/style/good-sex-tips-from-samantha.html

Which seems about right, although the page they link to doesn't mention it (it seems to have been rewritten to focus on the company, not the man):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Levinson

Could it be that the IMDB name page is a mix of two people's credits? The audio designer and the producer/director/writer/editor? There is no crossover between the audio designing credits and the other categories, which makes this a possibility. If so we can split off the latter's credits to a new page.

Do you have any more information you can add to help sort this out?

there's not enough room here, if you search for pics of kim cattrell and mark levinson,
then search for picks of particle fever (and mark levinson) it's easier to see there are not the same guy...
and first one didn't work on the movie, and the second one doesn't have a Wikipedia page...
some links that might help....hmm
  https://www.google.com/search?q=kim+cattrall+and+mark+levinson&newwindow=1&tbm=isch&tbo=...

and the particle fever mark levinson from his recent posting on facebook....thanks
 Somebody asked me Could a non-scientist have made Particle Fever Ironically I dont know if a non-scientist would have captured the humanity as much because they would get overwhelmed by the science theythink they have to understand it they think they have to explain it For David and I we were already comfortable with that aspect so it allowed us to concentrate on the story we wanted to tell - Director Mark Levinson httpowlyqZlqI

OK looks like we need to split the Particle Fever guy off - do you who the Thanks credit belongs to? I assume the editor credits belong to the director/writer/producer.

sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by the thanks credit....
  you could contact him directly, he just posted on facebook....though he doesn't have a facebook profile....
though he's on linkedin
http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=15026592&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=4iDQ&loc...
hope this helps!

I'm not on Facebook or Linkedin, but if people could, perhaps direct his attention over here...

sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by the thanks credit....

You can do it yourself and, as the credits are in different categories it is an easy split:

www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?namesplit

So you'd split off the Director / Editorial department / Producer / Writer / Editor (and perhaps Thanks) categories to a new section for the Particle Fever Mark Levinson, leaving Kim Cattrall's husband behind (as he is linked into related news and her name page).

If you can't manage it one of us will look into it, the problem is while you "know this to be true!!" we don't, so would need some more background.

the mark levinson on particle fever  is correct....
the only thing wrong is the link (the one with the trivia comment)
that he was the 3rd husband of kim cattrell....
I sent pics of both mark levinsons.....hmm
I tried to fix, afraid I would make things worse.....
   the pic weren't enough, I guess?

As best as I understand the situation, this page:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0506071/

Has the credits for two people - the audio designer married to Kim Catrall (whose credits are purely in the sound department category) and the director of Particle Fever. If so, then the director needs to be split off to a new page.

Or are you saying all the credits on that page belong to the same person, and Kim Catrall's husband isn't listed on IMDB?

that's correct    kim cattrall's husband (3rd of course) doesn't do movies....
the mark levinson in particle fever is a different one (of course you know that)
here is another link to his work....
  http://www.nytimes.com/movies/person/955577/Mark-Levinson/filmography

kim's 3rd husband isn't mentioned anywhere on imdb, though maybe on kim's imdb listing (though I didn't see it there!)

particle fever only has 1 mark levinson....what's confusing is the other mark levinson has done a lot with sound stuff, but no movies or tv.....
thanks again

Ah right, so all that is needed is to remove the bit about being KC's husband on his page and hers?

It is tricky getting information actually deleted (it'd be easier if we only had to split the credits...), so perhaps staff can chip in on this.

Also it'd help if you could tell us why you know it is true, as they aren't likely to make such a change just on a random person's say-so.

It's only when one goes to the director link.....then see more trivia....that that he was kim's 3rd husband....
that's really all.....I haven't seen anything on her imdb page about a mark levinson.....
  I've sent you some of the data to show what I'm saying is true.....
and now for my motivation for all of this....ha
  I love the physics of all this  (though I can only understand very little of it)
I've met mark levinson twice.....(my brother in law is a very dear  friend of a childhood friend of mark's)
  I probably should just connect with mark on linkedin....but I seem to feel a bit funny about it....
so thru the grapevine, I just want to say I had the imdb link changed......
    doesn't is seem unlikely that 2 guys with the same name worked on the same film anyway?
if one goes to linkedin, one can see the 2 different mark levinson's that we're dealing with   (of course there are others there!)   but one can track this....
no biggie really, where I got involved was that I insisted  (to my brother in law)
  that mark was married to kim, and he told me (after checking with mark's friend)  
 that he never was...he's married to simone, I've met her twice also!
be well
bobbyd   and thanks for listening!

Ah good, I assumed you must have had some connection that allowed you to check the information with the man himself.

if one goes to linkedin, one can see the 2 different mark levinson's
that we're dealing with   (of course there are others there!)

There are indeed:

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/Mark/Levinson

Can you provide the links to the right people?

surely......
the "good" mark

http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=15026592&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=4iDQ&loc...

the "bad" mark  how bad, he was married to kim cattral

http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=808541&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=jjFa&local...

this edit copy for both profiles worked on e mail, not sure if it works here....

the second mark is the Wikipedia one, of course....to search him on linkedin
plug in mark levinson cello  (from his wiki page)

for the first mark, you can just search
by mark levinson particle fever....

hope this works!
 I do need to get on with my life!  ha
be well

Thanks - I can't see those as I'm not signed up to LinkedIn (despite all the invitations I've had over the years) but staff should be able to make use of that to sort the issue out.

We'll need staff to chip in on whether that is sufficient.
