 Kristin Davis
Spotlight By: Andrea Tuccillo Fans of Sex and the City so related to each of the characters, that one might often hear their names used to describe an archetype personality. “I’m a Charlotte,” some women say, and people know exactly what they mean. It’s the character that Kristin Davis made famous. It’s the woman with the positive outlook on love and life. She wants things to be perfect and has visions of getting married to the ideal guy and having kids. Of course, for Charlotte things end up being much more complicated than she had dreamed. But for Davis the role has been nothing but a dream. Four years after the HBO series ended, she’s back for more with the rest of the Sex and the City girlfriends. People no doubt stop Davis on the street to swap stories about their favorite episodes, but has any fan ever taken it too far? “I don’t get so much creepy—I think Kim [Cattrall] may get more of the creepy, I’m not sure,” she says. “But I think in the beginning of the show we got a lot of everything and for me lately, and when I say lately I mean since the end of the show, I would have people talking to me about converting their religion, I would have people talking to me about infertility, I would have people talking to me about adoption. It’s very flattering, it’s not bad.” She adds, “I’m not always in a good mood. I’m not perfect. But if someone comes up to me and talks to me about something really real like that, I think that’s a huge compliment to the writing and to the show and to the way that it connects people.” The depth of that audience connection made this month’s movie version seem almost like a sure thing. So was news of a movie more of a surprise for Davis, or did she always expect to continue the story that way? “I was happy but I wasn’t really surprised because I had been hearing from [creator/director] Michael [Patrick King] and Sarah [Jessica Parker], all of us were talking for a good long time,” she says. “But I remember that we didn’t know who was actually gonna make it. We thought in our fantasy world that HBO could just make it and put it in the theaters but HBO isn’t really set up that way and it’s kind of a large budget so then we were like, ‘Huh, we didn’t really think about that.’” The ball did eventually get rolling, but not without a lot of luck and a lot of faith. “It’s a large, large commitment,” she says. “Not all TV shows make good movies. It just took a lot of trust on their part and it took a lot of faith in Michael who never directed a big old movie. Even though he won an Emmy for directing the show that doesn’t always translate. It’s kind of like apples and |
