Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw It’s hard to imagine someone else in a role
of a columnist, Carrie Bradshaw.
But did you know that Jessica Parker didn't want to take part in the show and agreed only
after numerous persuasions from her husband, Matthew Broderick?
Sarah only approved the employment contract after adding the paragraph forbidding her
to take part in nudity scenes.
Hard to imagine it in a show about sex!
Now, the 53-year-old actress doesn’t regret taking part in the show that brought her a
great number of awards, the title of a fashion icon, and a couple of million dollars.
After filming the series and two movies, Sarah received, not just numerous prizes, but also
attractive casting offers.
Eventually, she did a couple of romantic comedies with famous Hollywood actors, including Hugh
Grant and Matthew McConaughey.
Now, Sarah is starring in the lead role of the HBO series, "Divorce."
Despite being all engaged in Divorce, she’s doing great in her real personal life.
She’s been very happy in her marriage with actor Matthew Broderick for 20 years, raising up three kids.
Sarah doesn’t like to be compared to her character from the show.
“People probably don’t realize that Carrie Bradshaw was radically different from who
I was, who I continue to be,” she told the Wall Street Journal.
In her interview on CBS Sunday Morning, Pauley indicated that Carrie was “so romantic . . . It
had to be love, love, love, love all the time,” Parker agreed but added: “Childish, in a way."
The only resemblance that Sarah acknowledges with her character is their love for fashion,
especially for designer’s shoes.
In contrast to Carrie’s love for Jimmy Choo, Parker prefers her own fashion line.
Sarah is doing a great job in fashion and had opened a couple of boutiques, even having
one of them in Dubai.
Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones Unlike Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall
prefers to point out in the interviews her resemblance to her character.
According to her, same as Samantha Jones, the actress quickly falls in love and dives
into new relationships.
That's probably why Kim had three unsuccessful marriages and a couple of loud romances.
Including one with former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who is the father
of the current Prime Minister - Justin.
However, even Kim Cattrall cannot catch up after her character.
In an interview with The Sunday Times Magazine, she said: "I'm no expert on sex, but I've
felt under huge pressure in the past to be one, because of the characters I've played."
In spite of numerous romances, 61-year old Kim Cattrall doesn’t have kids.
She stood up for childfree-women last year.
“I thought I have a place to be a mom here, not a biological mom but a mom and an auntie and a friend.
And that has really given me so much, as much as I give I get two-fold back,” said Kim.
After the show ended, Kim’s career didn’t stop drawing.
She starred in Roman Polanski’s “The Ghost Writer” and played in theatre.
For the past couple of years, Kim opened up in interviews about her strife with Jessica Parker.
“We’ve never been friends,” said Kim.
“We’ve been colleagues, and in some way, it’s a very healthy place to be.”
“Carrie’s fantastic, but I’m Charlotte” - the answer Kristin Davis gave for an offer
of the main role in the series.
Yep, that’s right.
While Jessica Parker was doubting, the show creator Darren Star offered a role for Kristin Davis.
Could you imagine Carrie Bradshaw with brown hair and a shiny smile?
They say the reason she refused was that her very conservative parents would get shocked
by her daring appearance if she assumed the role.
Kristin didn’t let her grandmother know what the show’s name and plot were for many years.
Kristin Davis is much like her character.
She is also sensitive for nostalgia - especially the sweet tradition she shared with her castmates
Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, and Cynthia Nixon when the filming day was over.
"One thing we did a lot was to drive out to the beach when we finally finished filming
Friday night, usually as the sun was rising on Saturday morning," reminisces Kristin.
But Kristin's on-screen love life greatly differed from the relationships she had in real life.
While filming the show, she dated a couple of famous men and caused more than one disputes
between her and the cast of “Sex and the City.”
Her dating list included Alec Baldwin, David Duchovny, Aaron Sorkin, Liev Schreiber, Steve
Martin and Chris Noth - the one who played Mr. Big.
Although, none of those relationships ended with marriage.
Just as her character on the show, Davis adopted a little girl in 2011 and named her Gemma Rose Davis.
And this year, she also adopted a boy.
Now, Davis lives at the ocean shore with her kids, and her main passion is charity.
The actress is a great wild nature activist, receiving The Wyler Human society award for that.
Cynthia Nixon and Sarah Jessica Parker are best friends, not only on-screen but also in real life.
Jessica was the one who recommended Cynthia for the role.
But she had to make some sacrifices to suit her character's description.
You may not like Miranda for her stubbornness and workaholism, but it’s impossible not
to respect this woman, who became a partner in a law firm with an amazing apartment in Manhattan.
Unlike her character, Cynthia Nixon always dreamt about having a family.
She now has two kids from her previous marriage.
Cynthia’s personal life deserves its own drama screen adaptation about a strong woman,
who lived through breast cancer, embraced her eldest child's transgender transformation,
divorced from her husband, and had a new relationship with Christine Marinoni.
“I had never dated a woman before or even kissed a woman or anything," Nixon said in
an interview with the Radio Times.
When Cynthia turned 45 in 2011, she gave birth to her third baby.
Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni waited for a couple of years for New York to legalize
same-sex marriage and had the wedding in 2012.
After the show was finished, Cynthia's filming career didn't flourish, and she focused on
her political career.
This May, Nixon made a statement announcing that she will be running for New York’s
governor’s elections.
Perhaps the years of performing a powerful and independent woman on screen added to Cynthia’s confidence.
After the show ended, the fans of the series formed two separate legions for Mr. Big and Aidan.
And we all know where Carrie's legion is going to end up at.
How can you resist the charming and successful man with fiery eyes and with a great sense of humor?
Chris Noth as Mr. Big did not hurry much to settle down for marriage.
He met his wife, actress Tara Lynn Wilson, in 2002, but only got married 10 years later
when he turned 58!
After “Sex and the City” ended, Chris played in "The Good Wife" series and portrayed
the detective Mike Logan on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent."
Chris is very supportive of Cynthia Nixon’s election campaign, recently donating $2,500 for it.
Decent, loyal, caring, and forgiving Aidan was the role model for a perfect boyfriend on the show.
His final split with Carrie in the fourth season was a total heartbreak for many fans.
Leaving them wondering how she could abandon a perfect man for a fickle like Mr. Big.
The romantic portrayal suited John Corbett so much that after the show ended, he was
offered the main role in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" comedy.
Aside from filming, John is into country music and has already released two albums.
The actor has been dating the actress Bo Derek for more than 15 years.
The couple owns four houses on a California ranch and living with two German Shepherds.
“I’m not against marriage, but I think it’s the right thing to do if you’re gonna
have a family,” says John.
Maybe someday they will follow Kristin Davis and might adopt a baby.
Stanford played Carrie’s gay confidante and turned out to be the only recurring character,
who appeared in all six seasons of the show.
He made more than 75 movies during his acting career!
Willie Garson is also known for his role as the conman, Mozzie, on the "White Collar" series.
In his perfect dreams, Willie was going to get married and start a family.
But ten years later, he realized he wasn’t close to finding his perfect woman.
“I just reached a point of, ‘What am I waiting for?'” he says.
“I don’t care if I ever get married, but if I never have a kid?”
After a long paperwork procedure, Willie adopted a 7-year old boy named Nathan.
“He has a spark.
He was balancing himself on a curb, and I was like, ‘That’s my kid, I knew it right then,” says the actor.
David Eigenberg as Steven "Steve" Brady
Take your time to recall.
You’ve seen this guy somewhere else!
Yep, you’re right!
He’s the firefighter named Christopher Herman from "Chicago Fire."
Same as his character Steve from "Sex and the City," Christopher owns a bar on the show.
He also appeared on the sister show, “Chicago PD."
As you can see, David Eigenberg's acting career is doing pretty well.
But for millions of "Sex and the City" fans, he will always remain as soft and nice specs - Steve.
54-year-old David is happily married and has two kids.
His youngest daughter is just four years old!
When the show creators offered Kyle MacLachlan the role of an aristocratic surgeon from the
Upper East Side, the actor didn’t doubt for a second.
"I was thinking to myself, this is going to be fantastic!
It'll be like John-John Kennedy.
It'll be like a guy throwing a football in the park, really masculine, really virile,
and then they said, 'Oh, and he's going to have mother issues and other complications,'" told MacLachlan.
Despite the contradictions of the character, Kyle MacLachlan never suffered from the lack of women’s attention.
He has dated his "Twin Peaks" co-star, Lara Flynn Boyle, and was engaged to the supermodel, Linda Evangelista.
But for almost 20 years, his heart has been dedicated to only one woman - the publicist,
Desiree Gruber.
The couple is raising a son.
Kyle MacLachlan is a superstar of the TV shows.
He played the special agent Dale Cooper in the epic series "Twin Peaks," Orson Hodge
in "Desperate Housewives" and the mayor of Portland in "Portlandia."
Harry and Charlotte’s relationship was perhaps the most touching on the entire show.
“The Beauty and the Beast,” that’s what they called them.
But it didn’t matter because they were happy together.
After the show hit its final run, Evan Handler joined the “Californication” series, playing
the main character’s best friend.
He most recently appeared on “The Astronaut Wives Club," “American Crime Story,” and “The Breaks.”
It’s hard to imagine how Evan could not portray these characters.
At the age of 24, he was diagnosed with cancer, battling it for four years.
The actor has been married to Elisa Atti, an Italian-born chemist, for 15 years and
they have a daughter, Sofia Clementina Handler.
