Hi, I'm Kristen Davis and I want to know, are you a Charlotte? Guess what you guys, we are here for a very special holiday edition of Are youe a Charlotte? We have our wonderful producer Easton with me and we're gonna talk about all of my Christmas movies.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

I'm so excited about this. The Best part of the season.

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, thank you for joining us. It's really fun. We were trying to think of something special to do for the holidays because with the exception of the first movie of Sex in the City, we don't really have Christmas stuff. Yeah, yeah. Which I guess we could do next year. Maybe. Maybe we'll do the movie for next year. I don't know. But right now it's really fun that we're here and we can talk about my Christmas movies because I have a few. Isn't that funny? I really had to think about it. I was like, oh, my God, I have so many. Which is funny. And it is kind of like a cottage industry, Christmas movies, which is fun because when you're home with the holidays and your family and you want to watch something together, it's nice that, you know there are movies that are appropriate. Right?

[IBM Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

It's the best part of the year, I think. Yes. I love having these movies as, like a tradition and I love the idea that, like, they're, they're. You're part of so many people's holiday traditions. There are people that watch these movies.

[Kristin Davis]

Every year, which is amazing. Amazing. And I love that on social media because usually the holidays are coming and I'm so busy getting ready and then all of a sudden someone will come on and say, like, I watched Holiday in the Wild West End or whatever it is. I'm like, oh, great.

[Sports Announcer]

Holiday in the Wild.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

So.

[Kristin Davis]

So let's start with Holiday in the Wild, which is my most recent Christmas movie. I made it for Netflix with the Incredible Rob Lowe, which is the second time Rob and I have worked together. We did something called the Atomic Train, which was a two part miniseries, I guess. I don't know what we called it at the time. In the 90s, I want to say late 90s. It was really fun. And then I convinced him to go traipse around African countries in very remote places with me to do this elephant movie slash Christmas themed movie, Holiday in the Wild, which was very much taken from my experience of going to Kenya, though in the film we're in South Africa predominantly, and also Zambia a little bit. But it was about how it's basically my story with some embellishments, I guess, but it's that I had been on Safari in 2001 in Kenya and fallen in love with all of the animals and the people and the country and the land and everything. And then I was back there in 2009 and my friend and I found an abandoned baby elephant alone, without her Mother or family. I know. And we found her, my friends and I, and we were able to take her to the Sheldrick Trust, which is an incredible place in Kenya. They have raised and renowned, habilitated and put back into the wild over, I think, 380 elephants now.

[Ebay Advertiser]

Wow.

[Kristin Davis]

And they're all having wild born babies. And I had been involved with them since 2009, and I love them very much. And so we basically took that as the jumping off place for the story of Holiday in the Wild. There's a love story that I personally did not experience, a love story part, but the love story is that Rob is my pilot, which he just loves so much. Being a pilot of a tiny super cub in the outback, he was very into that part of his. And it was really fun because it was very much. You know, Netflix says that they're committed to being a global company. And it really, it really was that, like, we were in South Africa, they had an incredible production. We were in Zambia. You know, everything was just beautifully done. There was so much care taken in terms of, you know, the culture. It was translated into all the languages, Swahili, all the different languages. And, you know, I really, I really appreciate that they were able to fund my beautiful, beautiful, you know, vision of a. Of a movie about elephant conservation.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

I. I watched this last night with my wife.

[Kristin Davis]

Amazing.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Loved it. Absolutely loved it. And something that I love about this, that it sets it apart from other, like, holiday movies like this is that I'm watching it. I'm like, okay, she's gonna fall in love with Rob Lowe. And that's. No, that doesn't really happen until much. Sorry, everybody. If you haven't seen Holiday in the Wild, spoiler It doesn't. What keeps you there is love of the elephants and of the people and of the, of the land and the culture and everything. And I thought that was really beautiful. And the, the romance is kind of like. I don't want to say an afterthought, but, like, it happens much later.

[Kristin Davis]

Right.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

And what an inspiring movie. We. I told you this before we started, but, like, we were pausing the movie and like, looking up how to, like, adopt an elephant from.

[Kristin Davis]

You can. Anyone can adopt an element elephant on the Sheldrick Trust website is. I think it's Sheldrick Trust.org and it's $50 a year. I give it to all the kids in my life every year. And the thing that's great about it is they send you monthly updates of how your elephant is doing. They let you choose Your elephant. So you can choose a little baby that's in the nursery in Nairobi or you can choose, like, for instance, my elephant that I found. Chaimu is living in the wild now in the national park called Savo. You can still help. Help support Chaimu because they still come to visit. Like, if they have a baby, they bring the baby to meet the keepers. It's magical and unbelievable and just they're so brilliantly done. And the Sheldricks also have, at this point, I think it's 10 anti poaching units. We have vet units that are there to treat any wild animal. Elephant, zebra, giraffe, you know, they're. They're just supporting all of the wild animals and allowing them to live safely in the wild and protecting them, which is amazing.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Incredible. And this is all, you know, part of a holiday movie. Yeah, I know we have a lot of movies to get to, but I just wanted. There's a couple things that jumped out at me.

[Kristin Davis]

Tell me.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

First of all, you. Your looks were amazing. There's a leopard. There's a leopard print dress you wear that you look great in.

[Kristin Davis]

Thank you. That's Dolce.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

I absolutely love that.

[Kristin Davis]

Thank you so much.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Okay.

[Kristin Davis]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I had to take the clothes with me, let me tell you. Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

I love that. Near the beginning of the movie, there's a part where you say. And just like that. It's an empty nest.

[Kristin Davis]

No.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

And that. You guys got me excited.

[Kristin Davis]

That's insane. I didn't remember that.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

That was very fun.

[Kristin Davis]

Isn't it weird how often people in general say. And just like that.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Kristin Davis]

There was a headline, the other. About the drama of Warner Brothers that said, and just like that, Netflix buys Warner Brothers. I sent it to Sarah and Cynthia. I was like, can you believe this?

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

It's. It's permeated culture. And then I. A major question I have. Again, I'm sorry if we're spoiling Holiday in the Wild. This isn't a major thing, but, like, at one point, there's a painting painted of you with elephants.

[Kristin Davis]

Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Where is that? Did you get to keep that painting?

[Kristin Davis]

I did not want to keep that painting. No offense to whoever made that prop, but I didn't love that painting. Did you like.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

It was an interesting interpretation of what you look like.

[Ebay Advertiser]

I know.

[Kristin Davis]

I had to look so moved. I don't want to say how I come to have the painting in the movie, because that is. Towards the end, I was supposed to look so moved, and I had to stare at the actual painting that took Some acting, you guys. Okay, that's all. I want to say sorry to anyone I might be offending who made that painting in South Africa for us, but I didn't love it. I didn't love it. I did not keep it. I think they tried to give it to me, and I was like, that's okay.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Yeah, I'm good.

[Kristin Davis]

That's all right. I'm good. So that's on Netflix, and I think you can watch it. It's called Holiday in the Wild. I think if you just search it, I think it's easily watchable. Pretty much every year I post about it, and it's so nice to hear people loving it. I'm wanting to see it, and I. I love it so much.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

It's a great movie. I really loved it.

[Kristin Davis]

Thank you.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

But you've done some other, other holiday movies.

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, so many. So many. I think the one is the one before that. Shirley MacLaine.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

That's the one. Heavenly Christmas from 2016.

[Kristin Davis]

Christmas 2016. Hallmark. Right. And the fantastic Eric McCormack is my love interest. And that one. I mean, I get some good guys in these Christmas movies. I gotta say, you really lucked out. I mean, it's. It's pretty good. I was thinking the other day, I should try to do another Christmas movie in my future, because it's been pretty good for me. In this one, Shirley MacLaine is a ghost, and my character dies. I slip on the ice. No, I'm. Yes. I'm a career woman. This is a theme. It's going to come back. It's interesting. I don't know why I'm drawing to these things of what I am. So I slip on the ice. I'm a super career woman. I don't have a relationship or anything. I think that's what I remember. And I'm walking in my career suit, and I slip on the ice and hit my head and I. And I die. Theoretically, I die, I guess, or I partially die, or I. Whatever. I go to heaven and I see Shirley MacLaine, and I have a cat in heaven. I don't know why I have a cat in heaven, but I have a cat that I remember. I remember this day really well, filming with Shirley and a cat. It was a lot to handle. I had to hold the cat. Cats don't always do what you want, even though they're trained. This was a very wonderful cat, though, and we did great together. And I remember Shirley was, like, skeptical that the cat was gonna do what the cat was supposed to do. And of course. You're really just so odd that you're actually just acting with Shirley MacLaine.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Right.

[Kristin Davis]

But it's, like, hard to even focus, you know? And she was incredible and fascinating. We spent many weeks together in Vancouver, and she was just a joy. So much. We flew together. You know, she was older at this time point, but like such a trooper. They got her up on this fire escape at one point in this movie, and I was so nervous. I was like, you guys, please get Shirley down off the fire escape. But. And we were on the beach at one point. The storm was coming, and the wind is just blowing. And she's basically. She's trying to say to me, my character, that I haven't, you know, paid attention to the important things in life, like love. And then Eric's character is. Is back on Earth, and, oh, I. It's possible that I get a chance to go back to Earth, and if I don't go blow it, I get to stay on Earth, I think, though, I'm not sure because it's very similar to another Christmas movie I did that we will get to in a second. They're very similar. And I just love those type stories. I'm one of those people where, if I'm looking at Instagram, I don't know if you guys get this on Instagram, but I have this page, I guess, where people who died briefly talk about their experience. Do you get this?

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

I have not seen this.

[Kristin Davis]

No. Have you gotten this, Evie? Okay. It exists. It's really good. And they talk about what their experience was when they died. And it's fascinating. Fascinating. I'm just very fascinated by this. So I do believe that there is some kind of an afterlife. I don't think that it's necessarily textbook Christianity, but I do believe that there is an afterlife. And I think it's super interesting to think about briefly passing over to the other side and then coming back. I think it's very interesting.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Oh, yeah.

[Kristin Davis]

Yeah. So sometimes they offer me movies about this, and I almost always say yes. So in that movie, Shirley MacLaine is my guide, which is incredible. And she was amazing. And I asked her a lot of questions, and she was just funny and a little bit intense and, you know, really fascinating in all ways. And I was really lucky to get to work with her. And Eric was also incredible. And Eric. Eric was like. I had known Eric a long time. I had been on Will and Grace, but I did not know Eric as a leading man. And he was like, wow. Surprising.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Season 7, Episode 7 if you want to go back and rewatch that episode of Will and Grace that you guys did together?

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, yeah. Thank you so much.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Vince and Nadine from 2004.

[Kristin Davis]

And you know who is on that episode, who plays Vince is Bobby Cannavale, who plays Funky Spunk. It's a full circle moment, you guys. So Bobby plays in Will and Grace, Will's boyfriend. And then I play his best friend in life. So I'm like his Grace.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Wow.

[Kristin Davis]

Yes, yes. It was very trippy. It was very, very trippy. But really, really fun. And Eric, I just had only really known him. You know, we'd been at all the award shows and everything. Cause we were kind of the same era of, you know, sitcoms or whatever you would call it, comedy. But he. It was very different to play opposite him. And we have this very long romantic scene where we dance and kiss and stuff. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness me. It was quite something.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Anyway, that was 10th of the 19 original films from Hallmark's 2016 Countdown to Christmas.

[Kristin Davis]

It was a situation. Yeah. That's a big deal over there.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Kristin Davis]

Huge billboards and you promote a lot. And I mean, you know, I love, I love that they make so many movies over there at Hallmark. I don't know if they still are. I don't know.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Oh, yeah. I mean, are they? The demand is there. Yeah.

[Ebay Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

And now they're in competition with Lifetime.

[Kristin Davis]

Exactly. Oh, everybody's doing it now. And Netflix. Netflix is like doing a lot. Yeah. Before all the algorithm fed blah and the endless sea of dupes, shopping used to feel more fun. But here's a confession. Are you a Charlotte listeners? You can find that fun feeling again on ebay. Because on ebay, it's not just shopping. It's a full on fashion pursuit. And when you find the thing that adrenaline hit is real. I went on to ebay to look for a super special vintage jacket for Charlotte to wear to the gallery. And I found the most amazing Mugler jacket. And the costume department loved it and it felt so good. And I still have it at home. Like when you score that rare Adidas collab that's lived on your mood board or the Dior saddle bag that you ripped right out of a magazine in 2007 and never got over. Yeah, those. It's about the thrill and the pursuit of finding those pieces that feel like you. There's always more to discover. Ebay has millions of pre loved finds from hundreds of brands backed by ebay. Authenticity guarantee. EBay. Things people love.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Deck the halls.

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, deck the halls. Okay, so in this movie, I played Matthew Broderick's wife.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

You guys, I could not wait to get to this.

[Kristin Davis]

Crazy. It's crazy. I remember calling Sarah Jessica and asking her if she. It was okay. And she was like, of course. She thought I was so silly. But we go up there to Vancouver. We. It was the summer. You usually film Christmas movies in the summer. It was a hundred degrees in Vancouver.

[Public Investing Advertiser]

Wow.

[Kristin Davis]

And we were supposed to be in a snowy Christmas setting. The snow, the fake snow kept melting. We were sweating. Matthew's. My husband, Danny DeVito, is his friend and our neighbor. And Kristin Chenoweth plays his. And we're up there for a while. And Alia Saukat plays my daughter, which is bizarre, okay. Because she's prolific and brilliant, but she was so young then. And I just. I just love watching her now. Cause I'm like, that's my little baby grown up. It was really fun. It was a really weird thing because at one point, Matthew and I do kiss in some falling fake snow. And I was just like, this is very weird. And he was like, no, it's not. And I was like, guys. Guys are so weird. It's like. It is weird to lock lips. Lips with your friend's husband, even if it's brief. Okay. It's strange. But it was fun. It was fun and it's very family friendly. There's. It's not in any way questionable. You know.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

At one point you said that that kissing scene was too steamy for a. For a PG rating.

[Kristin Davis]

Did I?

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Yes.

[Kristin Davis]

Wow.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

The scene as filmed was too steamy. It would have had to been cut from the final cut.

[Trainer Games Announcer]

Wow.

[Kristin Davis]

I believe it. I don't think I realized at the time because I was still kind of. I think this was right after we finished Sex and the City or maybe before the movies, even, like in between the show and the movies. And I remember I was just more in the sex of the city type mode. And I just think we didn't really realize the chasteness that we were supposed to be. You know, it was like a chaste married kiss. So they had to kind of edit it, which was fine.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Yeah. Well, that's a Deck the halls I from 2006 that was released theatrically. And I want to tell people where they can watch these if they're streaming it.

[Kristin Davis]

Where can you watch.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

The Hall's on Hulu. It's on AMC plus. Wow.

[Kristin Davis]

Okay.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

It's on. And it's on Netflix too. Wow.

[Kristin Davis]

Wow.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Your one stop shop for.

[Kristin Davis]

I never get any of these residuals. I might want to add. Never seen any residuals from Deck the Halls. That's very interesting news.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Oh, wow. Well, look for a couple pennies, maybe.

[Kristin Davis]

10 cents might be coming my way.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

And then a movie called Three Days.

[Kristin Davis]

Yes, Three Days is the one that I get a lot of people asking me about because it's kind of hard to find. I looked it up and I found it on Amazon prime. But it says very interestingly that it's from the Wondery, which I've never heard of.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Interesting.

[Kristin Davis]

And when I made it, I believe we made it for ABC Family, which used to be a cable station. Yes, right.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Yes.

[Kristin Davis]

But things have been bought and sold and bought and sold, as we know. And so who knows? But now it's on Amazon prime for everyone who asked me on Instagram, but it's under the Wondery and I don't know what that means, but it's interesting. Three days. I think possibly I also die.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

You do?

[Kristin Davis]

Yeah, I think I die. Right. But it's about my husband not having been present. And a good husband, I think, to me. So he gets three days to try to do better or I am actually going to die. I might die and then I. I might for really die. Like maybe I'm in the hospital. I think I might be in the hospital. Like in a coma. Am I in a coma?

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

It says you're tragically killed days before Christmas.

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, I'm trying to get killed in the street.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

I remember.

[Kristin Davis]

I remember. Okay, so this, this is what I remember about this. This. First of all, I'm just gonna get out of the way. I am dating the actor who's in it with me. His name is Reed Diamond. We discussed him with Danny Futterman. That's Reed. He's a very good actor. We went to Nova Scotia to do this film in February. It was between seasons of Sex and the City. I had to fly down from Nova Scotia to New York for our first read through of the season on my one day off. And fly back, right. Like it was craziness. And it was 40 below in Nova Scotia in February and there was like eight feet of snow. Like it was so intense. And we had to pretend that we were in Boston, I believe. So we're wearing little leather jackets and the crew is wearing like huge snowsuits where you can only see their eyes. Right. Like they're and they're heated, they're electric, heated, whatever. And we're in little jeans and like a little jacket. Oh, man, it was cold, but it was beautiful. And Nova Scotia is a trip, trip and a half to film in. Very different. It's trippy, trippy, trippy, but fun and interesting. And we were out there in the cold and the scene, I think I get hit by a car is coming back to me because I'm holding a dog. And it was the middle of the night and it was 40 below, and I was so worried about that dog because I had to drop the dog on the asphalt and I didn't want its freeze. Its feet to freeze, right? So we got this special tent, this heated little igloo tent. And, like, I would drop the dog and then I would have to grab it and then I would, like, save it, you know, like, put it into the tent for the dog handler who was in the tent. Like, the dog got special, special care because I was like, we are not going to hurt this dog in this weather. It was a sweet dog, too, but, yeah, I guess I'm killed. But I don't know. I don't remember the plot enough to know how he fixes it.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Three days before Christmas, an angel gives Andrew the chance to relive the last three days his wife was alive. But he can't change fate. And Beth. Beth. Kristen will still lose her life.

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, no.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

However, Andrew can still discover the gift Beth needs most from him.

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, my God.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Well, I'm have to watch this and.

[IBM Advertiser]

Find out what happens.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Very sweet.

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, so I do die. I do die. Oh, no. That's my specialty. Christmas movies where I die.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Yeah. The ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and future.

[Kristin Davis]

I know, it's very interesting. I didn't really realize until I started trying to think about this for today that I had two movies involving death and Christmas and trying to do it better in a short period of time somehow, you know, like trying to redo things or fix things. I love that stuff.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

It's really interesting and I think it's. It's more. I don't want to say more compelling, but, like, it's better, I think, than being stuck in the, like, oh, big city girl goes back home.

[Kristin Davis]

Oh, yeah, those are really popular. And look, I do. It's not that far from them because, like, in the. In the. The Shirley MacLaine one, I am like a career girl who hasn't paid attention to relationships, right? So, like, the Eric McCormack character is, like, kind of in front of me, but I haven't really taken the time. You know what I'm saying? So it is still like that, but it just involves death also. And I think in the three days, I think maybe he's too. Career.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Yes.

[Kristin Davis]

You know, which is a pretty big theme.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Pretty big theme. Your death exists to help him realize the true spirit of Christmas, which is, you know, interesting. We're women exist to help men find, you know, the truth and everything.

[Kristin Davis]

But listen, I said yes to that. So I think I thought it was a pretty good role. Like there's something that made me say yes. So I don't. I don't feel like it's all about him.

[Podcast Co-host/Interviewer]

Okay, good. I can't wait to watch this. And that's on Amazon Prime.

[Kristin Davis]

That's on Amazon Prime. So I have kind of. You can. It's a smorgasbord of streaming opportunities, right?
