Sarah Jessica Parker
Hi.
Kristin Davis
Welcome back. Sarah Jessica is still with us. Here we go. We're just going to jump right back in. All the things that you have done, did you ever see that coming?
Sarah Jessica Parker
No, I don't think any of us. I don't think it's. That experience is. And I think other people have these kinds of experiences that have not been a replication of. They're not an imagining that you have because they didn't exist. Parts of it exist, like, for instance, people knowing who you are or being a public figure. Those are things you can imagine or try to imagine, like, what is that like? And how does that affect a life? But because the show was so unusual, because New York City was so unusual inside the show, because there were all these women on the show, because fashion was in the show, because bags were in the show, because shoes were in the show, because it was shooting New York in ways that even inside cinema hadn't ever been shot that way.
Kristin Davis
Right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I mean, the closest I can kind of see in a way is an unmarried woman in terms of like a city being colorful and kind of, you know, culture letting itself be known and the streets looking a kind of aspirational, very different than a lot of other 70s cinema, which was hard and the city was a wreck. And a lot of people in cinema in New York City were confronting these kind of challenges that politics and time and economy were dictating.
Kristin Davis
Right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
So I couldn't have imagined it because it didn't exist.
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And I think as you and I discussed in the past, if not on your podcast, then in person, I never wanted to be famous. I never. I didn't not want to be famous. I never. It didn't occur to me to be thinking about it because it wasn't part of it had nothing to do with why you wanted to be an actor.
Kristin Davis
Right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And fame was, you know, Paul Newman,
Kristin Davis
Meryl Streep.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman, Jodie Foster, Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand, Cicely Tyson, big figures in the movies. And television was a Different thing. And then there was theater. And I just wanted to work. I was like, how can I be a working actor? Will that ever really happen? Will there come a point in my life where I go to Chemical bank and I'm not panicked about how much money I'm withdrawing on a weekly basis? Like, I would give myself $40 to last me for the $40. Two twenties. Spitting out of that machine was like, girl, you're crazy. Being $40 out. So we couldn't. I don't think any of us could imagine it because it didn't really exist. There were elements you could pull together, but it wasn't. There was not a organism that we could look to.
Kristin Davis
Right. Also, it was not a requirement back then. I think that's important because I think now it seems like it is. I don't know if it really is, but it seems like it is. But it wasn't in our horizon, as we must be famous to be able to work. That didn't go together then.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Like, the privilege of. And I really mean this. And there are lots of actors today who feel the same way. They just simply want to work. They want to do good work. They want to work with good actors, but they're happy to work on things that aren't great in order to just get a career established and pay the bills and learn.
Kristin Davis
And this is very important now because the middle class of actors is hurting badly.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Hurting badly.
Kristin Davis
So sad.
Sarah Jessica Parker
The journeyman, which I was a proud member of, and I feel like you felt like that, too. Yes, like that. That's been seriously compromised and will be more so with this merger. Like, it's pretty. It's actually devastating. And it doesn't just affect the journeymen, many of whom are telling their stories, but it's also the journeyman. Hair, makeup people, crew members, the collateral damages, the caterers, everything. Like, it goes, you know, people that clean costumes, people that everything build costumes. Everything. Yeah.
Kristin Davis
Or dressers.
Sarah Jessica Parker
That was really a lucky time, I think, to be an actor. Yes. Post. Being a contract player in Hollywood. Like, it was a middle period where it was post studio ownership. Right. And pre streaming, where you're not doing that many episodes. Six, eight. Order is a perfectly fine, reasonable, big deal. You're happy to have it. Right. But I think it's gonna be like a very. There will be a reckoning about who we are soon. I mean, I think a merger was just. I think the board approved it, like, two hours ago.
Kristin Davis
No. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna get out a different picture than I was gonna show You. Because I have so many. So many.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, we're going on the Warner Brothers lot. Oh, isn't it? Wow, that's so sad. Is that lot gonna be there still? What will it be called?
Kristin Davis
Okay. I don't know. But listen, there's gonna be a riot in Los Angeles if anyone does anything to that lot. Because that is one of the main things that is being discussed at this point, and it is. That is a priceless jewel. No one can change anything on that lot. I feel very strongly. And when I watched this particular episode, which is when we go to la, as you remember.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Is this a screen grab? Yes. Oh. I was like, I never remember actually seeing.
Kristin Davis
Because you drive onto the lot to meet McConaughey.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes. You're in that car. Yeah. The Mustang that I almost exactly.
Kristin Davis
The terrifying Mustang that I was just on Sweetser the other day, and I
Sarah Jessica Parker
was like, this is the block. I can't even drive on Sweetser anymore. I literally won't drive up that street.
Kristin Davis
I know I had a whole.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Even with an automatic transmission, I just.
Kristin Davis
I know I have an anxiety attack as well when I'm on it. And do you remember that I was not in that scene, but I came.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes.
Kristin Davis
Because I was like, wait, what's happening?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Is everyone okay? Cause you were in the rodeo scene right afterwards that day. I remember.
Kristin Davis
I think I come and I go. Right. Like, where it's dipping. In dipping.
Sarah Jessica Parker
The.
Kristin Davis
No, you don't have to stay for that either.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I wasn't in that. Was I in that?
Kristin Davis
I think you watch. You watch her be in her bold old self.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right, Right.
Kristin Davis
It's a great episode. It's so much fun. And I had.
Sarah Jessica Parker
What season is that?
Kristin Davis
That is season three.
Sarah Jessica Parker
California. Yes.
Kristin Davis
Yes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Wow.
Kristin Davis
I just also. I parked down off Sweetser, and then I walked by the old standard, which they're redoing, hopefully into something decent.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Wow.
Kristin Davis
It's a lot of change. Wow. It's kind of terrifying. But I love the LA episodes, of course, because I love LA as well as. You know. But seeing us there is so highly, highly entertaining. And seeing Carrie experiencing the industry stuff.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
It's so good and funny. And it's almost like when we first start really trying different things.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
Like we're gonna go outside our comfort zone.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
But early on, we also have this other very trippy thing that I think I texted you about. Sometimes I have these moments where I'm like, I've gotta text her. Jessica, she knows this. And it's always very last minute. But this is in the first season, I believe this is when you're levitating on Fifth Avenue, which we're very confused about.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
And you said you thought you remembered them building a platform and you're wearing this.
Sarah Jessica Parker
That's season one.
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Not the pilot?
Kristin Davis
No, not the pilot. Not the pilot. Isn't it trippy that, like, you're walking down Fifth Avenue at night and you levitate?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Who's that?
Kristin Davis
That is a guy. It's a handsome guy. I think it's the guy who leaves you money in the morning and you have to debate if you're a prostitute or not.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes.
Kristin Davis
Yeah. Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
You know what? I do think they built a platform
Kristin Davis
and that's what they. How, like, you're up. You're just up, and they blew some wind at you or something.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Is there narration over this?
Kristin Davis
Yeah, yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
My guess is yes. They either put a fan on me or somebody had big cards and they were just going like this. Honestly.
Kristin Davis
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And. Yeah.
Kristin Davis
Isn't that amazing and interesting?
Sarah Jessica Parker
If I watched it, I would be able to tell you exactly what happened, but because I.
Kristin Davis
Do you want to ever watch it? Like, what's your really gut feeling on it?
Sarah Jessica Parker
I just. I think. I think it's too complicated for me. I think I can't just enjoy. I think I can't. The thing is, I. I don't have any. I never think back. Oh, I wish we had enjoyed it so. It's not that I can. It's not that I have fears about, oh, look how wonderful that was. Why didn't I enjoy it? Or why didn't I experience what it was to be doing all of these scenes, you know, whether they worked or not, or. It's. It's so hard to describe why I. It makes. I don't know that. I don't know. I don't want to go back. I just want it to stay here. And if there's things that I wish I had done better, I can't touch it, I can't fix it, I can't remedy.
Kristin Davis
Right. That's definitely true.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And I think I've functioned best, typically. And I'm a super sentimental person, so this seems anathema to what I'm describing, but I'm better in certain circumstances moving forward with this abundance of the kind of feelings I have about it that are almost hard to articulate. Of course I loved it so much. Maybe I just don't want to touch it or something. I loved it. I loved it even at its most difficult moments, even the times that it surprised me. In its challenge, personal or professional, But I'm thrilled that people love to re. Watch it. I couldn't be more grateful or astounded that I get to be a part of this particular kind of history with an audience. Yes, absolutely.
Kristin Davis
Absolutely.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And personally, just that we can talk about the things we ate or couldn't eat or, you know, doing a scene and hearing somebody's hip crack or, like, all the funny, weird stuff that we have, like, bundled and found storage for and piled in more the next season and found more storage in our unit that was full already, you know?
Kristin Davis
Yes, absolutely true. Absolutely true. I mean, for me, I think previous to doing the podcast, I felt exactly how you felt. Like it was alive in me in my own way.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
Like, we have our own experiences, which are different than the audience's.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
The joy that I'm getting now, I think partly because originally I had so much anxiety when I would watch it about myself, not about you guys. I was.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I know. I hear you talk about that. And what do you think? I just wish I. I wish I had known more about the things that were consuming you. Like, I wish I. I mean, you were pretty good at saying the most obvious when you needed help or comfort or someone to say. No, that's. Of course, that's not real.
Kristin Davis
Right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Of course you didn't do it that way. Of course you don't look like that in this skirt. Right. Of course that's.
Kristin Davis
You did that. And I remember that.
Sarah Jessica Parker
But to hear you articulate all the ways in which you were kind of haunted daily by this sense of, am I yet permanent here? Am I staying? Is this mine? Do I get to be a New Yorker?
Kristin Davis
Mm.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I'm not sure that you even knew at that time what it was that was, you know, in a kind of illness. Like, what. What was the bacteria? Like, what got. I don't know that you could have said at that time.
Kristin Davis
I don't think I could have.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I. Well, I had this contract thing, and this thing happened, and it will take me forever to feel secure. And therefore, anything that feels that I'm scared of or uncertain of or I'm not sure it was good, or was it the third take or the seventh or this person, like, all of that is gonna be informed by you not feeling for sure that you're wanted in a place, even though you're seeing examples of you.
Kristin Davis
Yes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It doesn't matter.
Kristin Davis
It took a long time.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It took a long time for you to feel. Yes, but I didn't know that. And you would not have said it. At the time that you wouldn't have said it that radically.
Kristin Davis
Well.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Cause I didn't fully aware, even putting
Kristin Davis
it together, have wanted to burden you.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
You know, you had enough, you know,
Sarah Jessica Parker
or probably burdened anybody.
Kristin Davis
Yeah, no, I didn't.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I mean, you probably didn't even tell Dave. Or did you.
Kristin Davis
Dave knew.
Sarah Jessica Parker
But were you able to really say. But when this happened, it took me this many months to actually believe or.
Kristin Davis
No, I didn't have that awareness. I did not have that awareness. And I would go so far as to say that even the contractual part of it. Right. Also just tapped into a bigger personal thing that I had previous to us ever coming together.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right, right.
Kristin Davis
And Michael Patrick said something so interesting to me, I guess last time he came on, or maybe it was in life, I'm not sure where. He said something about how like my. My growth as an actress over time, which obviously we've had this incredible time together. And I do feel like I've been like allowed and cultivated, you know, to grow into myself in such a profound and incredible way, you know, by. By you, by him, by all your talent.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Well, thank you. And more you have to do.
Kristin Davis
Yes. But definitely by people having the faith in me, you know, that has helped me. Right. But he said something about how in the beginning that like, if we were in a take and there was noise,
Sarah Jessica Parker
that I would be out 100%.
Kristin Davis
And then he said he was so proud when we went back to end just like that, that that wasn't true anymore. And I was like, what? That is really bizarre. But that had to do with my nervous system.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Of course it did. Yes, of course it did.
Kristin Davis
Not like it was affected by us, but it was a previously existing situation.
Sarah Jessica Parker
But that's how all of us behave as humans is the thing that rattled us. Comes with us until we can prove that. Thing that rattled us inferior to what we know we can do or be the boss of.
Podcast Host/Announcer
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
Or like for me, it felt like you guys having faith in me was like a daily kind of a balm to my hyper vigilant and fight or flight type nervous system that I walked in with that was then stimulated by them saying, oh, by the way, we're gonna demot. You know what I mean?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, my God.
Kristin Davis
I know, right? Obviously it was not exactly like fantastic for me, but it was what it was and I still had the faith in me that I was meant to be there. It's just that the faith was little and the anxiety was big.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
Working out. Just got reformed with your reformer. It's a gorgeous piece of furniture too. I just got one of these, you guys. It's so beautiful and it makes it so easy to do my workout.

Kristin Davis
And then there were other things. As you know, the 90s, very hard on all the women and definitely hard on the actresses. I mean, it was not easy. And people are talking about that now, which I really enjoy.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
I'm like, let's please talk about that. Because it's not like it's gone.
Sarah Jessica Parker
No, no, no, no.
Kristin Davis
Right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's just. It's very different, but it's definitely not gone.
Kristin Davis
It's not gone. So I think the belief that you all had in me contributed. I might cry again. I'm really sorry. Contributed to the slow healing that I needed, you know, and that's the joy.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I'm not sure you were probably even aware of that kind of accumulation of kind of courage you needed, but I would remember. I remember if somebody moved, like if they were over my shoulder to you and behind Joe Collins or whomever at that point, John McDonald or whoever was pulling focus, if a bunch of people moved or one or two did, it was star. It was like your eye was like hyper vigilant. And I, I understood that. I knew that that was your nervous system and never bothered me because I just wanted you to feel okay.
Kristin Davis
Thank.
Sarah Jessica Parker
You know, and I knew that as you do. Yeah. But knowing in the practice are so hard to.
Kristin Davis
I felt it like when he said that, that surprised me. I didn't even know the people. People notice. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, it's all so interesting in so many layers. And that's also just the joy of getting to be together for all of
Sarah Jessica Parker
these things for a long time.
Kristin Davis
Many years.
Sarah Jessica Parker
You all know each other's things and when to step in and when to help and the ways in which to distract and. Yes, yeah, yes.
Kristin Davis
And it's just joyful. Joyful. I'm gonna go back to some pictures because these are things where, like, as we've been going along the thing, I'm like, oh, my God, what would she say about this? Right?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Okay, so.
Kristin Davis
So let's talk about some outfits. This outfit is when we're in the Hamptons. This is the first time that Carrie sees Natasha and Big together. And you are wearing a cowboy hat and a tube top and a very low slung, stripey skirt.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah. I love that outfit.
Kristin Davis
Everyone loves this outfit. This outfit not walk out right now
Sarah Jessica Parker
and be like, not on me, but somebody else. 100%. I think it was probably just at Coachella. Ah, totally. Yeah. That was a bra from a bra company. It was the one bra that wasn't just a plain nude bra. It was a strapless bra that Pat and Molly had found. And I was like, oh, I could just do that. It had like a animal print on it, I think. Yeah. That was a nothing hat. You know, a $2 hat, cross body.
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I remember all of it extremely well. Remember the arm, the bracelet around my. You know.
Kristin Davis
Yes, I do.
Sarah Jessica Parker
My arm.
Kristin Davis
Because I have a future.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And I think one of the reasons I remember that outfit was that it was such an important episode. And we spent so many days in
Kristin Davis
those outfits and so good, so good in that outfit. I mean, I'm in that episode. They're the same. But look at another arm.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes. The Mr. De la Renta built that dress for me. I understood later and I didn't at the time that people didn't like it or they criticized it, I guess so. Yeah. Well, I was unaware, you know, on the list of like the worst or less cared for Emmy dresses. Are you kidding me? But I literally didn't care. Cause it was Mr. De la Renta. And I'm sure that was my idea.
Kristin Davis
I love it so much.
Sarah Jessica Parker
This is a blue. And it had a little tail on that flower. Yes. And is it.
Kristin Davis
Does it have the year at the top?
Sarah Jessica Parker
No, it doesn't. Oh, no. 2000.
Kristin Davis
2000.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
But we had a fantastic time.
Sarah Jessica Parker
We had a great, great time. We were staying at the Peninsula. Yes. Laura Mercier did my makeup. Yes. Serge Normant did my hair. Those earrings were borrowed from Fred Layton. Mr. De la Renta built the dress. I'm sure I was wearing Manolos. And the thing about that night. And there's my husband, Matthew.
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
So handsome. Was that when we came back to the Peninsula Hotel, we were all hanging out in the bar. That dark, dark bar. That dark bar and somebody. And I remember Michael, Patrick and I were sitting in the front table. We were waiting for everybody else. And someone complimented my makeup. And Laura had told me before I left my hotel room, she said 24 hour guarantee about my makeup. And it was. I don't know how many hours later, you know, after the whole thing. So many hours and waiting for the car and getting back to the hotel from wherever it was. Yeah. And I remember thinking, God, she was right. 24 hour guarantee.
Kristin Davis
Amazing.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And I remember Emily Matson, my best friend, daughter, was at the hotel that day while I was getting ready. She was always at the hotel, and she was so little. I have a picture with me and with Emily that day, who was just a tiny little toddler. Yeah.
Kristin Davis
Okay. And here is a really fun memory. This is the dress that you wore to the Golden Globes in 2002. Corbin.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right? I love him so much. I can't wait for him to do your podcast.
Kristin Davis
From your lips to God's ears.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I love him. I love him, too. That dress is Chanel. I'm not even sure that dress is Chanel. And it's actually not a dress. I think it's pants, maybe.
Kristin Davis
Pants, right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Wearing a Chanel beau. That's Loren for sure.
Kristin Davis
So Loren has entered our room.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes. And, yeah, I love that it was really easy to wear. My guess is I can't remember how long my hair was when James Wilkie was born. This is. Oh, 2002. So it's.
Kristin Davis
That's the haircut.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Is that right after James Wilkie? Was it 2002? It would be. Oh, this is the Golden Globes. So this is the top of the year. This is like a month or so before I was pregnant.
Kristin Davis
You know what I think this is? I think this is the time. Do you remember when Katie Couric would come and interview people for her show? Some show?
Sarah Jessica Parker
No.
Kristin Davis
Well, so we all. I think. I think that maybe we didn't win as a show, but we had won the year before, so maybe. And we all got together to go backstage, and Katie Couric sits down, and we love Katie. Right?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
She's like a friend of the show.
Sarah Jessica Parker
You know what I mean?
Kristin Davis
And we sit down and we're all bubbly, and it's exciting, and we're gonna talk to her, and she puts on the hard news face, and she says, what about all the controversy and people not liking the show? And we were like, what exactly?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Because, look, it says here I won. Exactly. And I think we somebody like this effect.
Kristin Davis
Exactly.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And that's so funny.
Kristin Davis
I know, right? This is you holding your Emmy. Oh, 2004.
Sarah Jessica Parker
2004. Yeah.
Kristin Davis
And I remember that you and Matthew sat next to me, and we have a funny, funny picture of you and me leaning over him, and he just looks like, oh, my God, I'm gonna kill myself.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And we're just like, wow, they finally had to give it to me.
Kristin Davis
And it was overdue and well deserved. But when I look at season three and season four, and this is why. Just selfishly I hope at some point in your long, long life that's coming. Because the thing. This is the main thing I want to say to you, and I think the important thing is that we already have this in ourselves. Right. We have our memories, as you're talking about. And our memories are separate from the finished show. Right. There are memories, and they're priceless and, you know, treasured.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
And we have that. And I felt this way before I was rewatching. Right. Like, I have what I have and I have what I need. And I love that people come up and talk to me, but I don't necessarily share. Like, sometimes they'll say to me, and they're like, I don't remember that.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah. You know what I mean? But that's okay.
Kristin Davis
That's fine. It's incredible that they remember anything, right?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
But what I've gotten as I've been rewatching, a few things, of course, number one, absolutely floored by how good it is. And, yes, it's all over the place sometimes, but it's all good.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
It's funny, you fall down. I mean, you fall in the mud. I'm gonna show you pictures, you know what I mean? Like, and you're up and you're down. I know when you're so fantastic at it. And we could watch you. They make you fall in the mud over and over again just because it's fun to watch. Do you remember this? I do remember that. Sex and the Country.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes, I remember that. Incredible. I remember that.
Kristin Davis
Look at you in the mud.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes, Yes. I mean, I fell plenty in the mud. You fell a lot. Yeah. I was super happy to do that.
Kristin Davis
And it was so great. And you and John going up there to wherever the have suffering. But I don't know if you were really in there.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah, no, we were in. I think we were somewhere in New Jersey. But it was really fun. And we had crew dinners and I loved. I loved being on location with our crew so much. I just. I. I loved it.
Kristin Davis
Me, too. Me too. I didn't get to go as often as you, but remember when we went to whatever stood in for the Hamptons?
Sarah Jessica Parker
A couple different places. No, no, no.
Kristin Davis
Atlantic City was. Sorry.
Sarah Jessica Parker
We were not in the Hamptons. We were.
Kristin Davis
We were like far Rockaway.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah, we were. We were west of that. Far east. Yeah.
Kristin Davis
We couldn't afford over there, but it was always really fun. And then remember there was the wedding of Julie's character where we also worked all night, and we're wearing, like, fantastic outfits and you're pregnant.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Julie's character.
Kristin Davis
Julie Halston's character.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Julie.
Kristin Davis
Sorry, sorry.
Sarah Jessica Parker
The writer had a character. Was she on the show? And I just don't remember that too.
Podcast Host/Announcer
Julie Halston's character.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes. I was super pregnant. It was our last episode.
Kristin Davis
Yes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Because that was the last time I had to cover my pregnancy. And I was wearing a David Dalrymple pink sort of bubble. Yes. Yes. And my hair was. I remember my hair was sort of Belle de Jour.
Kristin Davis
Yes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
So good. Yeah. And she married Nathan Lane.
Kristin Davis
Yes. Oh, I thought it was Nathan Lane.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And Cynthia was super pregnant, too.
Kristin Davis
Yes, you both were. That was when we were on the pregnancy trip.
Sarah Jessica Parker
There's a picture of us I've seen frequently, and I don't know why, but there's a picture of us from that wedding. She looked so pretty at that wedding. Yeah, you both did love that.
Kristin Davis
I mean, me too.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Me too.
Kristin Davis
And we were in a bra because
Sarah Jessica Parker
it was all built in. Cause he does that.
Kristin Davis
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Amazing polyester knit, anyway.
Kristin Davis
Totally.
Sarah Jessica Parker
All right.
Kristin Davis
I have some other. Just funny, funny outfits. So this is also from Sex and the country now. Oh, wow.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah, I remember all that.
Kristin Davis
Do you remember that you leave Aiden in the country, you take the train back to New York, and you have dinner with Big, and you wear that green skirt?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Are you serious? Yes, I know.
Kristin Davis
I felt the same way.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Is that where all the criticism's coming from? I think just that. No, I'm just kidding. I mean, who knows? That is a J. Crew shirt. That was my own. Wow. That I brought in. And that, of course, is a Vivienne
Kristin Davis
Westwood skirt from century 21.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yep. Yep. That's a thrift store top.
Kristin Davis
Love it so much.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And I can't remember what the bottoms were.
Kristin Davis
I think they were, like, little jean shorts or something. This is when you're gonna make the pie. And it's also when you squeal it.
Sarah Jessica Parker
She was gonna make a pie. Yes.
Kristin Davis
You make a whole pie crust.
Sarah Jessica Parker
What?
Kristin Davis
But then he makes you drop it and you burn your legs. And that's when you finally admit that you hate the country. It's really good.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, my God.
Kristin Davis
And then he really feels like you don't love him, because you don't.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Of course she loves him.
Kristin Davis
Of course. But he doesn't feel that you do.
Sarah Jessica Parker
If I don't. If I don't love the country enough, if I can't adapt, if I can't get burned and find some ointment.
Kristin Davis
Yes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Then it's. It's her problem. Right. It's not the pro. It's not the country's problem.
Kristin Davis
Definitely. But also, I think for him, he has identified himself as this house.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes, yes. Right.
Kristin Davis
And he's like, she doesn't see me, she doesn't get me. That's what he's playing because he's so good. But also, do you remember when you lost your voice squealing at the squirrel?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah, I have a vague recollection of that.
Kristin Davis
It was very rare.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes. And then we had to shoot the
Kristin Davis
next day and you were so stressed because you never.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I didn't have a.
Kristin Davis
You could not speak.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I didn't have a voice. Exactly. I remember shooting this late at night because this was probably on the back end of a. I bet we were on splits almost.
Kristin Davis
Yep.
Sarah Jessica Parker
This was sort of like after a bunch of day scenes. This was probably the. This was like the last scene of the night with this skirt.
Kristin Davis
And you very creatively twirl.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Do I?
Kristin Davis
You do.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Because I'm sure I just wanted to show off the back end. And you do it beautifully. It works. Not my back end, but the skirt's back end.
Kristin Davis
I know.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It was special. It was great.
Kristin Davis
You know that fantasy version of your life, the one where you wake up and the light's hitting just right and you do a 20 minute workout in your gorgeous living room and you feel like the lead in your own movie?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis

Kristin Davis
Okay, wait. I have another been dying.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh yeah. I love that outfit so much. Please explain how it happened. So much.
Kristin Davis
I love it so much. Guys, this is the one I asked Molly about. Molly laughed so hard and called it all kinds of crazy names and said she thought you were trying to break the rules. It's the lavender hose that are pulled up over her shorts and she also was Wearing like, basically a Victoria's Secret bra. From what I can tell, it's a wonder bra. It's a wonder bra.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's a wonder bra. I mean, it's a kind of heliotrope colored wonder bra. And I'm sure it was my idea to put those tights on and yank them up, because that's how you are. I mean, that's actually how you are at home. Yeah, that's the truth. And at this point. At this point, you know, you can do things like this. Like if you're trying to say something about somebody and you've kind of found your footing and you've articulated with images and her words, then why not do something like this for a scene? I think she's running to try to get her laundry.
Kristin Davis
Yes. And the dye cleaner. And it's closed.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's perfect to run in that. Yes. And I love this. And I think that's probably like. If I had to pick one of three looks that said, who is Carrie? This would be one of them, in a way.
Kristin Davis
Wow. I love this.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Because you're inside her apartment and she's walking around her apartment like that. Yes. So that feels very real to me. You'd have to show them to me. This one, I didn't like that as much as everybody else. I'll tell you why. This was the crocheted. Yeah, I'll tell you why.
Kristin Davis
Tell us.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Pardon me. I love the hat and I love the coat, and I like how it looks still. But the problem with this is that it was a cotton. It's not that I didn't like what it was. It's just. It's very hard to fit something like that because it's.
Kristin Davis
It moves.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's a cotton. Yes, it's a cotton thread. So it's all natural. So it's not holding a. It's not holding a shape. So it was very hard to tailor it with. Trying to give you a waist with. It's not terribly thick yarn or string, but it's just not. It doesn't have any unnatural fiber in it, so it can't.
Kristin Davis
And also, it's a long day of work. I remember things growing.
Sarah Jessica Parker
We were in Madison, not Madison Square Park. We were in the Bryant Park. Yes. Yes. And it was a pleasantly cold day. It's a false spring day. Yes. It looks like it was one of those days that there was wind and you're a little bit in the shadows because of the buildings and the way the sun's moving. Was that the same day that we Did Heidi in the same park?
Kristin Davis
No, I think Heidi was Bryant Park.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It was Bryant park, though. Yeah. Same park, right?
Kristin Davis
Yes, I think so. Same park, same thing. Yes, I think so. So what do you think of Heidi?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, I love Heidi. I would always love Heidi.
Kristin Davis
I have a picture of Heidi. I love Heidi, too. I love that whole thing.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Do you remember I asked them to put freckles on my face?
Kristin Davis
You were so ahead of your time, sir. Jessica, all the little girls on TikTok do this all the time.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes.
Kristin Davis
Oh, my God. There's products you can buy now on the door. Yes. Gemma wants them.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Are they unsafe? No, I'm just like. They're just a frivolous.
Kristin Davis
Yes. I'm just like.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Okay.
Kristin Davis
Okay. So here is another incredible look. It's in the episode A Change of a Dress. You're doing a walk and talk with Miranda, and you're wearing the light pink top, palm tree print skirt. And then you have put a green belt around your stomach, but it is not attached to the skirt or the top.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I remember that we were walking, I think, up walking on the Upper west side. I think.
Kristin Davis
Yes, it's a. Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And I was like, yeah, I'll put the belt there.
Kristin Davis
Really?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
Did it come, like, down on the skirt and you just took it off the skirt?
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's the same.
Kristin Davis
It is, right?
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's not.
Kristin Davis
It's not.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's not a matching belt. I don't know why.
Kristin Davis
What episode does it say at the top?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Season four, episode 15. Yeah. People had a lot of feelings about that belt.
Kristin Davis
Oh, I love it so much.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And I loved it. I was like, why not?
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I don't know. When you're working with Pat and Molly, at this point, it's like, all's fair.
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Try everything. And so many times people ask me in interviews, you know, do you regret? I'm like, I regret none of it. Yeah, regret, definitely. Je ne regretrien.
Podcast Host/Announcer
Definitely.
Kristin Davis
So wait, what are the other two outfits? If we had to pick three for Carrie, I should have a dancer prepared. Okay, wait. I have some ideas.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Okay.
Kristin Davis
Personally, love beyond belief.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I don't think that's really Carrie, though.
Kristin Davis
Okay. I just love this white dress from Change of a Dress. It's the final scene where Carrie and Aiden break up in front of the fountain at Columbus Circle. I mean, I just love.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's a beautiful dress. And that dress is Bajli Mishka, I think. Bajli Mishka, Yeah. Which is really fun to think about. It's like trying something on, but it doesn't I think, really, quintessentially. Yeah. And I love that scene so much. And what I love about that scene, first of all, once again, is John Corbett's acting, which I just think is just sublime. And that's why I wish you would do your podcast.
Kristin Davis
I love you so much right now.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Those are the same earrings from Fred Layton. But what I really love about this scene is that we were shooting it and shooting it. I don't know if you've heard this story. And they're over the shoulder at me, on my side when we. And I'm on a apple box, as always. Cause he's so tall. And I felt like I wasn't getting the scene right. Like, I just wasn't getting it right. And Michael was far away. Whoever was directing was pretty far away. Alan Taylor, I felt, like, really messed up. And they didn't cut. They were far away. They couldn't be there because of the shots. Right. And so I was just stopping the script. I was stopping the words as written and just saying and exhortations and things. And Michael used all that, which really suits the scene. It's so good. Cause I'm like, I'm not getting this right. I'm not doing this.
Kristin Davis
You were having the same experience that Carrie was having. Yeah. Amazing.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And so that's what I really remember about the scene. I was like, oh, Michael, you crafty.
Kristin Davis
So crafty. So crafty. Wait. I realized that I didn't tell you the end. I'm gonna show you two other dresses. But I did not tell you the end of my. One of the things that I've realized from rewatching, and it's kind of obvious, but I'm just gonna say it because it's powerful. I had. For me, it was powerful. I had two weeks off. I was traveling from the podcast. Right. And then I came back and I had to rewatch a couple, you know, for. To catch up. And I had, like, a physical sensation of warmth when I turned it on.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, wow.
Kristin Davis
And I thought, this is what everyone feels. Oh, wow.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It was amazing. Yeah. Like, when people try to describe their experience watching it or what it makes
Kristin Davis
them feel like, and it's intangible in a way.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
Like, there was a long time where I was like, oh, it's the colors.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Is that. This is the.
Kristin Davis
That is.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's the pithy.
Kristin Davis
It's the, you know, the dialogue, and it's all those things, of course. But there's something that we created. And I think it has to do with the acceptance with the found family theme with the lack of judgment that you feel enveloped when you watch it. It's so powerful. And it made me feel, of course, that I'm with us, because of course, I know us.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
Which I'm so lucky. But I also feel like what we made is so strong that that's how people feel. Which explains so much about when people come up and hug us. Which I remember when it first started, and I was like, oh, my God, what is happening?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
I mean, it's beautiful, but it's also just like you're in your day and you're not expecting and you forget. You know what I mean? And it's also. I understand it so much more deeply.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah. Yeah.
Kristin Davis
And I think it's important. It feels important.
Sarah Jessica Parker
But maybe if I watched it, I would understand. I mean, I try to. I hope I communicate that I understand, if not for that reason, but for other reasons. But that's very interesting.
Kristin Davis
It was a physical sensation.
Sarah Jessica Parker
That's really.
Kristin Davis
And I've been on a weekly. Right. So I've been in it, and then I was away from it and I went back and I was like, oh, oh, my God.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Wow, that's really nice to hear.
Kristin Davis
It's so good to be a part of it. Right?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
And it's also like, I think what we were saying earlier, and then just to put a button on it or whatever, like the. We had a bit of almost, like, naivete, and we were at the right time, but the fearlessness with which it is all done. And every department. I mean, every single department.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
Like, just firing on all cylinders.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Right.
Kristin Davis
But in terms of the act, acting. And you may never be able to feel yourself this personally experience this about yourself. I know it's very hard for me to feel this way about myself, but when I can watch you, I can feel this. It is so naked. Like when you have these breakups and these. Layered. Layered. You've got big, you've got Aiden, you've got. You know. Oh, we had jazz man. What's his name?
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, Craig Bierko.
Kristin Davis
Yes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
He's so crazy.
Kristin Davis
He was so much fun. I mean, you know, you're just so. You're so present and layered at all times.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, that's nice to hear. It's amazing. That's nice.
Kristin Davis
It's really. And, you know I love you and, you know, I think you're incredible, but every time I'm like, oh, my God, like, it just gets better and better and deeper and deeper.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Well, you know, that's so nice to hear. And I will say that when Corbett came back to do. And just like that, he said he had been terrified. I don't know if he shared this with you, but he was like. I think he was afraid of watching, you know, the original. His stuff, you know, from his entry on. And then he said, you know, he'd been so happy. And he said, you know, you really gotta watch it. Cause it's so good. It's true, you know, And I was so happy he was feeling.
Kristin Davis
Because he's also hard on himself.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah. Yes. And he could really appreciate how great he was.
Kristin Davis
I'm so glad, because he really is great. I mean, he is incredible. Okay, wait. Two other things, and then I'm gonna have to stop. Richard Tyler.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes. In the bar.
Kristin Davis
And just.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And so Molly says we had two of them.
Kristin Davis
That's what she said. And I just wonder where they are. Do you think one is in your storage?
Sarah Jessica Parker
No, they took them back. Oh, yeah. That means they took it back.
Kristin Davis
The pain.
Sarah Jessica Parker
But, you know, for every dress that a designer rightfully asked for back, we have something else.
Kristin Davis
Of course.
Sarah Jessica Parker
So even though it's incomplete, there are some holes or, like, some missing teeth. Of course it is. It's like a really good, you know, template of everything Pat and Molly did. Yeah.
Kristin Davis
And it's saved on film.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
And you're falling in the most beautiful umbella.
Sarah Jessica Parker
We rehearsed over and over that day. Yes. What they did is they had. That whole crew had gotten there, you know, a couple hours before us. And I'll try to tell this story really quickly. And they had set up as best they could, sort of to scale and to height meeting, to fall meeting to fall, so that everything could be done. We could be sure of everything in advance of the. Hopefully one take. So they had these big pads, fall pads, like, you know, stunt pads, big pillows, you know. Right.
Kristin Davis
Yes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And they had. You know, let's see, it'd be lower. Right. So they had, you know, one was
Kristin Davis
here to here, like the dock to the water.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Correct.
Kristin Davis
Got it.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And we just practiced falling. Like, talking falling, talking falling, talking falling. And. Well, no, if you do that, then I might not fall this way, but maybe I should do that. Don't hold onto me there. Do hold on to me here.
Kristin Davis
Wow.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I remember, you know, dawn, as soon as the light came up when we were. It was light enough to rehearse. Well, if we. If, you know, if you go in that way, then I'm gonna turn this way away from you. Like, everything was as close to mimicking real as you could, you know, cute body reaction so that when we did it. And I don't know if they had three or four cameras that day as my guess, but they had to like be smart about that too because they want it from every angle. So you can't, you can't get a quick sighting of a camera.
Kristin Davis
Right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And those were bigger cameras then. Right. But it was so much fun and I did cut myself and I did have to get a tetanus shot. Right? Yeah.
Kristin Davis

Kristin Davis
Do you remember that this. This is when we had our blackberries.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes.
Kristin Davis
And at.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Who gave you a BlackBerry?
Kristin Davis
You did. Thank you.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I didn't have a lot of them. I was like, no, would really want this.
Kristin Davis
Oh, my gosh. Made my life. You made my life. I mean, also, it was just the best time to be on the set and be Texas. It was really cool.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I wish we had all those.
Kristin Davis
I know.
Sarah Jessica Parker
All you have to do is type. I have them. I just don't have the messages.
Kristin Davis
Right. Me neither. Because they're gone or whatever. Yeah, yeah, I remember.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Made by a company called rim. Rim? Yes. Out of, like, Waterloo, Canada or something. Yes, yes.
Kristin Davis
You had the connection, man. You were on it. She's on and on all the things.
Sarah Jessica Parker
No, no, no.
Kristin Davis
She was on this. Yes. No, you had it on your little belt. It was the cutest thing.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Well, because the. Or might call. I might be called into surgery at any time.
Kristin Davis
Totally, totally. So the day of this, I was not working, but I knew you had to do it. I remember feeling anxiety about it and excitement also. Right. It was in the park, so it was near me. And I remember at some point, maybe I had to come in later. Maybe you just texted me, or maybe it was the next day, but paparazzi had been around and had gotten a picture that they had felt was, you know, revealing.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, really?
Kristin Davis
Do you remember this? Mm. Mm. Interesting to me, I remember it as being so completely horrifying. And you were like, they don't have anything. And I said, are you sure? I was so panicked for you.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Did they?
Kristin Davis
No.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, okay.
Kristin Davis
They did not. I think that they wanted money. Oh, wow. But you Are knowledgeable. You were on it really saying, yeah,
Sarah Jessica Parker
well, I mean, was it see through when I got wet?
Kristin Davis
It was somehow.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It suggested that you're seeing a lot because of the nature of that chiffon.
Kristin Davis
Yes. And then it did get wet and you had nude color. Yeah, I did.
Sarah Jessica Parker
That's true. That's true.
Kristin Davis
So they were perceiving that as skin, but you were like, no, I was wearing that thong.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Of course I was. Casabella, Definitely. Yes.
Kristin Davis
I think I'm wearing now. Pat Fields changed my life, Pat, and you have forever changed my life. You gotta make Casabella.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I was like, I've never worn anything like that in my life. I'd only ever worn, like, Carter's underwear.
Kristin Davis
No way.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And then eventually Calvin Klein, when we all stood in line at Bloomingdale's when they came out. Yes.
Kristin Davis
Those bras.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It was the men's brief that I was like, well, you.
Kristin Davis
Yes. I never could pull that off.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes.
Kristin Davis
I could not. No, I could not. I could not.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Nonsense.
Kristin Davis
I thought you were the Cosabella connection. I didn't know Pat would put you.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Wow. She said there was a lingerie shop on University between, I think, 9th and 10th on the east side of the street that had beautiful bras. I think they had Marquette.
Kristin Davis
Ooh.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And Casabella. They were thongs, not G strings. Right? Thongs.
Kristin Davis
I think in the beginning, they. Well, mine wasn't a G string, maybe because there were some where they had just skinny mesh at the back, but then they went to just a string.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, no, no, no, no. I didn't wear those. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You gotta draw the line.
Kristin Davis
I love it. That. Okay, wait, this is my last one, but I have to talk about the Dior for a second.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah. The dress is amazing.
Kristin Davis
The dream. Now, there's this whole drama that I did text you about.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yes.
Kristin Davis
Where it's unclear if there's one dress or two dresses. That's where they live.
Sarah Jessica Parker
So they live at Dior. Dior has them. They had it back right away. We never had the Dior dress. Got it so that when we had to borrow it for. And just like that. We think it wasn't the same dress anyway.
Kristin Davis
Got it.
Sarah Jessica Parker
That the print might not have been the exact same.
Kristin Davis
Yes.
Sarah Jessica Parker
But that is one of the dresses that we returned immediately. What I love about that dress is the way we got to shoot it on Park Avenue. I think she's crossing Park Avenue. Alan Coulter is. Alan Coulter knows how to use that camera. And that was that long lens. And. And see, that's like, the ways in which we, you know, could we have imagined it? No. Because really, nobody else. Even Law and Order, which was really cool. Like, they were showing a city and shooting it like a movie. For sure, it was one camera cinema, but it was very different and very different and procedural. So they had things they had to do. Right. And those are kind of rules. Like, it's like, if you're gonna make a sauvignon blanc, you have to use a grape, a certain grape. But we didn't have any of those rules. And so all these guys that were using the camera really, really well. I mean, kind of Charles McDougall and. Who'd you just say?
Kristin Davis
Alan Taylor. Alan Coulter.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah. Alan Coulter. Loved that camera. Loved that freaking camera.
Kristin Davis
Such a genius.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And the camera crew became so important in our show. Like, they were superstars. They were. They really were revered. Yes. You know, our sound mixer. Always revered because the ways in which they had to hide mics. And tj. TJ and Kim. Oh, yes.
Kristin Davis
Oh, the mics were in some crazy places, you guys.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Anyway, that shot with the Dior dress was kind of like, you pick a dress for that reason, but we didn't know what the camera could do with it. And when we allowed all that traffic to pass and all the pedestrians and where it was in the story, like, what it was doing to support the story, it's just, you know, and the hair was, like, really wild and the carry necklace, so that it's like. It just all was, like, hand in glove. Yes.
Kristin Davis
And that's.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And I'm glad it was that dress.
Kristin Davis
That's the joy. Oh, my God, Me too.
Sarah Jessica Parker
That's the joy.
Kristin Davis
When you look back. And it's. To me. I mean, I knew intellectually that we were doing something different. And I knew. I loved it so much, obviously. But I didn't understand everything that you just said at the time. Right. So looking back on it. And also, like, it's incredibly cinematic.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
Like in a very different. It breaks molds of all kinds. Right.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I'll tell you one other quick thing is that there was. There used to be in the New York Times a supplement that was. And I think you'll remember this, and a lot of New Yorkers will, but it was a TV Guide.
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And it was a decent size. It was big like this.
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And it was the TV shows for the week, including your VHS numbers to program in so you could tape a show. And we were on the COVID of the tv of the New York Times TV Guide. And it was a picture that Craig had shot that we'd been looking at recently. And it's kind of an ugly dress. It's like a mustard or ochre colored dress. She's wearing like a Bordeaux colored leather jacket. She's leaving someplace where some guy's apartment where she couldn't find her stuff or she had spent the night someplace. And interesting. It's not a really pretty. She's got like a kind of crocheted green. Interesting. None of it is really pretty.
Kristin Davis
Okay.
Sarah Jessica Parker
But it's a picture that Craig shot. Who was our unit?
Kristin Davis
Blankenhorn.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Who loved Blankenhorn, who is just so brilliant. And when I saw that picture, I was so excited, first of all, that the New York Times had picked us to be. Cause, you know, New York Times dream. But the picture that Craig took was from far away and kind of high. I think maybe there a leaf fall, something. There's some atmospheric thing. It's Lower fifth and the camera pulls way back.
Kristin Davis
Ooh.
Sarah Jessica Parker
And when I saw that, but in my head and in my heart, I was like, oh, that's what we're doing. Okay, that's what we're doing.
Kristin Davis
Interesting.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Because you could kind of feel the camera, but if you weren't looking at everything all the time, you wouldn't.
Kristin Davis
You don't know.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Know it in the same way. But that picture of Craig's telling me what we were doing. Yes. I was really proud of. Yes. The. What the crew was able to pull off to create like the portraits and the tableaux that they were doing.
Kristin Davis
I just thought of one thing. When you talked about the leaf. I hope it's okay if I ask you one more question, because it's something that I don't know the answer to. And we're coming up to it in the rewatch.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Okay.
Kristin Davis
Do you remember after 9 11, you and Willie went out on the street.
Sarah Jessica Parker
We shot. We shot. I was in a Vivienne Westwood dress. Yes. And Manolo Blahnik shoes. And we were shooting by what is now apc. Yes. It was a restaurant at the time. And we shot a whole scene. And we have pictures of that scene. That scene was cut. And I don't remember. You know who will know that?
Kristin Davis
Michael.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Michael Patrick will have all the answers. It was on Perry and Westforth.
Kristin Davis
Wow.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah. So we were probably shooting other scenes that day at Carrie's.
Kristin Davis
It doesn't exist. And this is why I was unsure.
Sarah Jessica Parker
So it must have been part of the scenes that. Was it part of I Heart New York. I Heart New York, which was post 9 11, which has before the monologue she has about when he goes off to Napa, she has that very prophetic monologue about passing. You heard that before.
Kristin Davis
Correct.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Correct.
Kristin Davis
That's what's insane. Correct. And I think that also threw me off.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Correct.
Kristin Davis
Everyone thinks that we filmed that after, but we did not. We filmed it before, which is just Michael Patrick being prescient and being 100%. Okay.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Got it. Cause when September 11th happened and I realized what I had said, I said to Michael Patrick, we're gonna use it. He said, yeah, absolutely. He said, it's so.
Kristin Davis
Yeah.
Sarah Jessica Parker
So that scene with Willie. Me and Willie was part.
Kristin Davis
It would have been in that.
Sarah Jessica Parker
In that one, you'll have. Michael Patrick will know exactly what show. Exactly. Got it.
Kristin Davis
Got it. This makes sense.
Sarah Jessica Parker
This makes sense because for me, it's nice weather.
Kristin Davis
I've never been sure.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's beautiful.
Kristin Davis
The pictures are beautiful.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
And the dress is beautiful.
Sarah Jessica Parker
It's. I know. That dress was amazing.
Kristin Davis
So good.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Yeah.
Kristin Davis
So good. Okay, cool.
