Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are
you a Charlotte? Hi? Everybody, We're going to do another
episode of Give Me Your Question, So here we go.
The first thing that I wanted to talk about was,
this is just kind of a bizarre thing that has
been happening since we started this podcast. So in my mind,
(00:25):
I was like, yes, I'd love to rewatch Sex and
the City because I haven't ever rewatched it, right, And
that'll be super interesting because it was a long, long
time ago, almost thirty years ago, and I really had
no idea that people were going to be paying so
much attention to what I said. So there's been these
crazy headlines and my mother has called me and asked
(00:46):
me about them because her friends talked to her about them,
and it's just been a little bit overwhelming, I have
to say. And I just thought, you know what this is,
like thirty years ago, I did not think anybody was
going to care. I mean, I thought the fans would care,
and you guys do care, thank goodness. And I feel
like you guys know the truth of what I'm saying.
But sometimes I see these headlines and I do get
(01:08):
a little concerned about people who maybe see the headlines
but don't necessarily listen to the podcast, that they might
not have the right understanding of what I was saying.
So just some of the weird ones, you know what
I said, I said the cult like rules. I don't
know that I said rules, but I definitely said the
word cult. And of course that, of course is a
(01:29):
headline now that the producers forced us to do things.
This is so not the case, you guys, Oh my gosh.
This was that pat Field have a very strong vision
and that's what we love about pat Field, and that's
why we hired pat Field. And my fashion sense was like, uh, nonexistent, right,
So I was just really happy to be told what
(01:51):
was cool and what was in It wasn't rules. The
producers didn't care one way or the other. I mean,
they cared that the show looked great, but I mean
I don't think they cared about the specifics of you know,
how we made it look great or whatever. They were
not involved, so there was no producers making us do
any rules or whatever. Anyway. That's one. Then the other
(02:12):
is you know, the whole you know, horrible mistake I
made about saying the word forced when I was laughing
about Michael Patrick and me having to flash my boob
in the year two thousand, so I laugh. Now, I
don't ever want one of my good friends to get
hurt because of something stupid that I said. And that's
(02:34):
what I feel like happened because I said a word
that they could take out of context, and they did,
and you guys on the social media really cheered me up.
But once I went on the Today Show because you
were like took Kristin out of context, and I really
appreciate that. And I don't know if you're aware, but
sometimes when you look at comments, it can be dark,
and sometimes it can really make you feel so much better.
(02:56):
And that's what you guys do for me on my
Instagram page and on the podcast Instagram page, and think
you keep it coming because sometimes I really really need it.
And then also people still want to talk about this
poor actor that I lend money to, and again I
really really just wanted to say, don't lend money to
people that you're involved with. That was my only point,
(03:16):
Like it just changes the dynamic. It makes it kind
of weird, or it has the potential at least to
make it kind of weird, and I never will say
this person's name, and I feel really badly that I
even opened that box up. So those are the ones
that come to mind. But honestly, just in general, the
whole idea that people are like, uh, creating these headlines
(03:38):
is still I'm just trying to get my mind around
it because I just thought we could just talk freely,
you know what I mean. And I do feel with
you guys that are listening that I am just talking freely,
and I'm really trying to keep that going. I just
don't want any of my friends to get hurt, you know. Okay,
So that's the end of that. Now we have some
other questions from people on our I think from our
(03:59):
instagram is that right?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Easton is here, Hi, Christin, this is so fun. Thank
you for having me back, Thanks for coming back. Yeah,
these coming from Instagram Carrier Pigeon. People are just being
in on the door.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yelling say, I'm glad you were there to listen to
what the head I.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Wrote everything down on my stenopad. So we're so excited
for season three even just like that, I am part
of the horde that is so excited.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
About the show's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So a lot of these questions are about and just
like that, this person says, seeing the trailer got me
so excited for and just like that, we see you
say owed to Aiden's postcard to carry in the trailer.
Do you support Aiden's five year rule and even Carrie
for waiting for him?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I know, isn't that a funny little thing? Yeah, it's funny.
I do not support that, me, Kristen, but Charlotte probably
does because you know, for Charlotte, she's just always optimistic.
And I think, you know, when you've had this long
history which Aiden and Carrie have had, and obviously Charlotte
believes in love, and Charlotte was pro Big as we know,
(05:07):
but Big is not here anymore, sadly, and that was
obviously really hard for Charlotte also to watch Carrie go through.
So I think that Charlotte would want Carrie to have love,
and if Carrie tells her that that's what Aiden, I
think Charlotte is going to support that because that's the
kind of friend that Charlotte is, and I support Charlotte
being that kind of friend. Me personally, I feel like
(05:30):
it's kind of complicated and I'm not sure, So let
me just say, let me just say that I really
love this season and I hope that everybody else does.
And it's super interesting writing Like what they wrote I
think is very good. I really really looked forward every
(05:51):
week to seeing what they wrote and watching Sarah Jessica
at the read throughs, and I can't wait to see
the finished product. I haven't seen anything yet. A little
in the trailer interesting, yeah, I mean I've seen tiny
bits and pieces when I had to go do adr,
which is like, you know, the.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
National Dialogue recording, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Of course she knows that was fast man, you're on it.
We also call it looping, right, yes, so when I
had to go do that, I've seen tiny bits and
pieces like but the whole trailer was more than I
have seen. So I also was just like, what, I've
got to watch this again. So that was exciting to
get to see other people watching it as well and
(06:29):
obviously weighing in with all of their thoughts and opinions,
and some of them are very strong. But we love
that also, like I mean, no offense, but we're not
twenty right, do you know what I mean? It's like,
why like five years.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's a long time, very long time.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Very long time to wait. So I agree, but I
also feel like it's very hard to be you know,
you're never really in someone's relationship, right, you don't really know.
And I also do feel like Carrie really believes in love.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
She does.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Eass he's worn out, you guys, He's like, oh god,
she does it? Anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
This question comes from me. I'm putting it to the
top of the pile. So I really enjoyed Carrie's podcast
subplot as someone in the business. That was something I
loved in season one.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm glad you loved it. Wasn't that a nice studio.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It was a great studio. They had real microphones, there
was a for real set. Yeah, it was awesome. So,
you know, spoiler alert, the podcast goes away, Carrie starts
her own at the end of season two or something.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It seemed to last.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Okay, Yeah, I was curious. I don't know what the
timeline is in terms of you filming if you had
started your podcast yet.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, okay, I hadn't. We were working when the idea
came to me, and I was really excited and also nervous,
and I mean, I might add rightly, so no, that
we're in it but I was very much feeling like
I needed to go check in with Michael Patrick and
Sir Jessica about it. So I talked to everyone on
(08:06):
the phone. I had a really great talk with Amy Sugarman,
our executive producer, and she's a super fan and really
blew me off my feet, you know. But then I thought,
I've really got to make sure that everybody feels good
about this, because I only want to do it if
everyone feels good about this. So I think I which
(08:27):
one did I go to first? I think I went
to Sir Juska first, and she immediately was on board
and really supportive and very cheerleadery. Then I went to
Michael Patrick. He had done last year the writer's podcast
that was on the Max podcast exactly, the Companion podcast,
which was very much about the writer's room and the
(08:47):
writer's process, and it was great, but it was very compelling. Yeah, good,
thank you. I mean I didn't want to like tread
on his area or whatever. He one percent was on it. Obviously,
we're rewatching sex in the City, not and just like
that that we do mention it obviously, but he came
up with the title are you a Charlotte Like two
sentences into my explanation, you know, very hardcore supporter and
(09:11):
Cynthia was very low key. Cynthia and I almost did
a podcast many years ago, whoa like right after I know,
this is the third podcast that's been brought to me.
And it was just weird timing too, I think, and like,
in some ways I just didn't have my mind back
around it. The podcast this Cynthia and I were going
to do, then Willie and I were going to do,
which was all before and just like that got Greenlitz.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And I think it was different to think about reflecting
back on the work without us also getting to make
fresh work. And I think somehow getting to reconvene and
be together gave me kind of the grounding to be
able to look back and not just feel like I
was living in the past. Yeah, because that had been
my fear. But I don't feel like that at all,
(09:54):
because obviously things are so different. You know, it's it
is like looking at a time capsule, you know, it's
really interesting. So we were towards the end, we were
almost done, and I just went to them and they
were immediately on board. So then I was like, okay,
goo let's go.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I was wondering, like if you had been doing it,
and then like, there's a podcast thing in the in
the scripture setting. I'm like, well, that's not how it's
actually done, you know, because I have a podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Oh I would never. First of all, I think everyone
at this point has been on a bunch of podcasts,
and Bobby Lee has a podcast. Yes, And you know,
the thing that I think was funny was that when
we saw the set, we were like, this is the
most glamorous podcast that we have ever seen. Like who
gets this? Yes, and obviously not me, but we are
(10:40):
now in a very glamorous screen room. So you guys,
you guys are you guys are moving us up the day?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Okay, great, this question comes in from someone. It was
mentioned if you asked this question, I'm.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Sorry, I will not be named. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It was mentioned earlier in your episode with Michael Patrick
that the writers intentionally didn't have anyone from the girls
families an outside world come into the story. But for fun,
what do you think Charlotte's life was like growing up?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's cute. I do think it. Also in this finale,
don't I mention something about Sororities. I mean, I think
she went to Smith We know this. I think she
was in Sororities. I think I say it. We know
she was a teen polo model at the mall. I
believe somewhere. I feel like maybe I made this up
(11:43):
that she grew up in Connecticut, which I think makes sense. Yeah,
I don't know if I made it up.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Okay, are you are you googling?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I'm googling. I have a computer in front of me.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Are you seeing anything?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah? Really raised in Connecticut. I don't know the exact
city or township.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, because I don't think I know, so I'm not
surprised the Google doesn't know. If I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Here we go early life. We should have gone a
Young Charlotte show on HBO. That should have happened. Wealthy
family in Connecticut. She was a member of Kappa Kappa
Gamma Sorority. Oh my gosh. Let's see she's the newest
friend of the group.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That is true because they have a flashback to the
eighties and I'm not there. That's when Carrie wears that
pink cowboy hat. Yeah, there are some kind of a
like it looks like a college party, but I'm not there.
I don't know if they're in college or not.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
But yeah, in the second movie, they confirmed that you
met Carrie in nineteen eighty seven. Oh well, okay, only
at the most a year before Samantha. Okay, now things
are getting kind.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Of iffy meshed up.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, but that means there's a blank slate for what early.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Because I think we've now you know, done our due
diligence on trying to figure out the roots of Charlotte,
and you know, that has been like a side thing
of the podcast that has really been so helpful for me,
because we've gotten confirmation from Kendice Bushnell that she was
not based on anyone in particular. We've gotten confirmation from
Michael Patrick that when he first got there, he thought,
(13:13):
I don't know how to write for that character. I mean,
we've gotten a lot of interesting confirmations of what I
was feeling at the time, which was that she didn't
have kind of the same fleshed out storylines that the
others had, and I had a lot of anxiety about that.
And now I have a lot less anxiety. Obviously it's
thirty years later, but also because now I know that
no that was all actually real and they just created
(13:36):
me as we went Which what a lucky person I am,
you know what I'm saying, Like, what a fantastic situation
to find yourself in. Slightly scary at the time, because
when you've been an out of work actor for like
roughly a decade, you know, a little bit less than
a decade, you know, you're very vulnerable about it, all right,
and you want to make sure you have a place
(13:57):
a place in this thing that you want to be
a part of, which I did feel on the set, right,
But when I would go home and think about, like,
who is Charlotte, I don't know, because they didn't know,
you know, so you know, you're kind of making it
up as you go. And then as we found out
from Jenny Biks, Jenny Bicks grew up on the Upper
East Side, So when Jenny Bicks came, I feel like
Charlotte got a lot more kind of depth and grounding
(14:22):
in the world that we were in because Jenny brought that.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, I was thinking about as an actor, you obviously
want more as much information as possible about the character,
but like if you get like a Bible or something
of their whole entire life. That must be intimidating too,
to make sure you.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
First of all, it never happens. Second of all, I mean,
I do know actors that create that bible, and they
might depending on the situation, they might create it by themselves,
or they might create it with an acting teacher, acting coach,
or if they're really close to the showrunner or the writers,
they might create it together. But it's a rare thing,
and I think with us, I mean, I don't think
(15:01):
well asked Sir Jessica if she did that. I don't
think she did that. But I think that Sarah Jessica
already because she was in New Yorker and she really
was an it girl. She was a downtown it girl,
which was a little bit different than Candace's version of
the it girl. But she knew kind of the vibe.
You don't know, I'm saying she knew who these people
were just from being in the Manhattan like nightlife, you know,
(15:26):
the I don't know if she would describe it that way,
but you don't. We'll ask her when we see her
next week. But I think that she already had such
a grounded sense of who they were and how they
dressed and what they did. I so didn't have any
of that. Like I had lived in New York already,
but I was an out of work actor waitress, very
very different life, very very different life. So part of
(15:47):
me I was just like, how do I do this?
What do I do? What do I do? And in
my mind and this is what you do as an actor.
You create the backstory that you need that helps you
to understand who they were. So as I think I've said,
I would just go up to the Upper east Side
and I would just walk around the shops, walk up
and down Madison Avenue and look at the women and
look at their hair. Most of them had baby carriages,
(16:10):
some of them didn't. I'd look at their coats, I'd
look at their bags and try to look at how
they walked and talked and if they were talking to somebody.
You know, you're trying to pick up details and then
you're making the facts up in your mind to back
up those details. Did that make sense? Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And I'm picturing you like walking over down in Massive Avenue,
like write, like with like a notebook or something else.
Seems like something Charlotte would do.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I didn't have a note because I'm a visual memorizer,
so I would have snapshots. I have snapshots when I
tell you about it. Wow, still in my mind of
what I saw then, which is why I was trying
to get her to grow her hair out and they
had made me cut it. But you can see the
progression during the first season. I'm like, look, it's getting better.
It's getting better. It's almost of the place I want it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Uh. This next question I love because I my New York.
I grew up on the West coast of my New
York like knowledge was Sex and the City and Seinfeld
that was it, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And so different, so different.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
But I was like, oh, Seinfeld's little cartoon version Sex
and City is what are It's really like?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
This question is so sorry.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Do you think Sex and the City shows a realistic
depiction of life in Manhattan?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
No? No, unfortunately No. I mean I think it did
for this tiny group of women, right, because it was
based on some real people. And as Candice told us
at one point when she was writing the column Sex
and the City that was in the New York Observer,
she was living in a doorman building, so she was
obviously doing well. I mean, I didn't have the thought
to ask her, like, were your parents helping you or whatever?
(17:39):
I mean, I think it's possible, right, I don't know
that or not to be true, but I do think
that a lot of these people came from generational wealth
and were thus at a certain point in New York
society that would come with generational wealth. But we don't
really say that in the show either.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, I mean interesting because like Samantha can afford
like I don't have a doubt that can afford her life.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, she was her own pr lawyer.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
A lawyer trying to be a partner carries the baffling one.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Well, carries the baffling one, and this will become an
issue as we know, right, carries the baffling one. And Charlotte,
I do think that in my mind she was supported
by her parents. You know that because all of well
at the time, at least the beautiful young girls who
were working at the galleries were all supported by the parents.
(18:31):
Because you couldn't really be like kind of an assistant
at an art gallery and make a living, like it's
a tough kind of a job. But yet there are
there are still gorgeous young people, men and women who
are doing that and I don't know how that we
should call them up. We should. I should go to
some art collaries next time in New York. Yes, them
should do some research. But yeah, I think that that
(18:53):
there is a assumption that parents were helping, or there
was trust funds or something. Yeah, but only does never
mention a trust fund, which I find interesting because I
always thought there was like some money, but not a
lot of money. Because once we get to the trade era,
you know, obviously she wants that apartment, like there's things
(19:13):
about him that he has that she really loves.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
What do you think Charlotte's attachment style is?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
And there's a lit I looked at this list, ok,
because my first thing I thought was she's secure, secure attachment,
because that's definitely where she's at now with Harry. But
then I was like, oh wait, she was maybe not?
Maybe not? Then isn't there one there's like anxious attachment.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Anxious preoccupied attachment? I think probably that that's what I
would guess too, a style where people have a fear
of abandonment and a constant need for reassurance.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Right, But that makes it sound so awful, but I
just really think that's like human normalness. I don't know.
Maybe that's saying a lot about me. I don't know.
I just feel like people, especially when you're younger, you know,
like because obviously in the first season, Charlotte very much
like believes in love and wants to get married, and
she puts that right out there. But she's also kind
(20:14):
of choosy in an interesting way. But I do feel
like she definitely wants to know, you know, like, wants
to be attached and wants affirmation of that. Yeah, I
think it hard to be objective sometimes.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
It is this question here, what is the process like
prior to shooting an episode with fittings and thinking out
the looks for the episodes?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Oh yeah, it is a process. Let me tell you
first of all, as I think you know, we're very, very,
very spoiled. We have just the most incredible costume department
and costume designers Mollie Rogers, who I had on that
was so much fun. And Danny Santiago works with her.
He's also amazing, and he has like a vintage world
(21:03):
at his figuertips that you would not believe. And we
have many and many other people and all through the
show we had so many people helping and eventually so
many designers lending us things, which was great. The only
the only downside is that we spend a lot of
times in fittings, like like a lot, like a lot,
a lot, a lot like hours and hours. I don't know,
(21:24):
like I think I've had an eight hour fitting. Yeah,
it's fine. I mean it's part of the job. And
you know, luckily they really make it fun. I mean,
if you were trying to do eight hours of like
suits because you were a lawyer, that would be super boring.
But because we have this like full fantasy world that
we're creating, I mean, I am my own character within
(21:44):
that fancy world, right, so sometimes I walk in the
other character. They do it by areas, right, so they'll like,
there'll be an LTW character aisle, and I'll walk down
that aisle. I'll be like, I want all this stuff.
I can't have that stuff. I can't even pull that
stuff off. I mean, she does it, and she does
it so beautifully, but it's really fun to walk down there.
Or sometimes I'll go and carry's asle because we have
(22:05):
the same size put Oh yes, I'll be like, oh
does she have these slotted for an outfit?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And they'll be like, get out of there, Kristen. You know,
it's fun. And then sometimes there were times in the
past where at the end of the season I would
take home some of Miranda's clothes because they were like
really wearable every days.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah they look super comfy.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Super comfy, nice fabrics, good colors, turtlenecks and things. I
still wear some of them, but yeah, Samantha's clothes. Couldn't
pull those off either. But it is fun, but it's
a lot of work. I remember also when we were
doing the show, there was never any time for fittings
because we were working so hard in such long hours.
And I do remember I might have mentioned this with
Molly that one time when I wrapped at two am,
(22:53):
they said, you have to go to your fitting and
I was like ha ha, and they're like, no, no,
you have to go to your fitting. And I was like,
you got guys, Oh the pain. But there was just
no other time to do it, so we did it.
We did it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
During the fittings, Like the wardrobe people are there. I
assume there's a producer someone there. Now no who is
giving the like who's given the feedback? I guess on
what you're going to use is it? Like, like, do
you have any how much? Say do you have as
the actor? Like, oh, I really like this.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Well it's our world. We have a lot of say
yeah good. I mean, as we have for a long time,
you know. I mean I've always said that we've always
been very involved in all of it. And I have
felt that even when we had no title, you know,
like now we're executive producers of and just like that.
But we used to not have any title, but it
didn't mean that we weren't involved. Michael Patrick would sit
us down before the season started and run through everything
(23:48):
with us and say what do you think? Like he
did not have to do that, and he did that,
which is part of the reason that we have the
relationship that we do is that I really felt that
we were respected and considered all the time. But with
the clothes, I think so pat was very strong, right, like,
she was very strong, and occasionally she would try to
(24:10):
talk me into things that I was like, I just
do not think Charlotte would wear this, and she would
try for weeks. Okay, sometimes she'd go over my head
to Darren. I'd be like, Darren, she can't wear it.
It just doesn't make sense, you know, because Pat's very
fanciful and doesn't really care about real life, you know,
and that's kind of the joy. But also sometimes if
you're playing Charlotte, you kind of gotta care about real
(24:32):
life a little bit, a little bit. But often sometimes
too she'd try, she'd say like look at this, and
you look at it me and be like, god, I
don't know, and then like over time she'd wear you down,
you know what I mean. But it's always a group decision.
In the fittings. Now we also photograph everything, and we also,
you know, we're going in the script order, so like
this is true for all production. I think you have
(24:54):
the script. Someone in the costume department has done a breakdown,
so every scene is listed with the description. You know,
they're at the coffee shop, Charlotte says she's come from work,
something like that, something very practical, like so that you know,
if there's something that affects her clothing in the scene,
right then you know they will have already thought about
(25:19):
let's say it's a coffee shop scene. Those are the
hardest because everyone's in it, right yea, So they have
to think about the colors and the textures and the
daytime or the nighttime, or the cold or the heat.
Theoretically it might not match the actual real cold and
the heat and the real temperatures out in the world, right,
but in the story, what season is it? And so
they'll have an idea. Maybe they've done Cynthia's spinning already,
(25:40):
but they haven't done Sir Jessica's spinning, and they haven't
done nicoles, and they maybe have done so Rita's right,
they can show you a picture. Oh, Soerita's wearing, you know,
cream silk. Cynthia's wearing these bold stripes, so we were
thinking for you. They'll have pre thought out ideas. So
they'll have maybe like ten things. They're like separates. There
were dress or pants or whatever. They'll say like, oh,
(26:02):
this might be a great time to wear some pants.
You know, Sharlotte doesn't wear a ton of pants, right, Oh,
this might be a great time we wear some pants
because blah blah blah whatever reason, or we found this
amazing jumpsuit or whatever it is. Right, So they have
some ideas and then you pick the one you like
the best. You try it on. It might not fit.
It might be a color that doesn't work on you. Whatever,
you move on to the next or maybe you think, oh,
this is so amazing. Let's put it at this dinner scene,
(26:24):
which is a little bit more glamorous, and this outfit
is a little you know, it's like this. And then eventually,
once you get your picks for each thing slotted in,
they've photographed everything, They've listed everything. Usually almost everything gets
to be altered, which you know, I think is an
important point or super spoiled. But like, that's why it
all fits us. It's not like if we went to
the store and pulled things off the shelves that they
(26:46):
would fit us like that. It would not be true,
at least for me. I can only speak for myself.
But our tailoring department is unbelievably talented. Like they do
so much work, Adrian, thank you. So then their pictures
slotted in and they make a book. So for each scene,
let's say that all four of us are five of
us are in a scene, they'll be every one's picture,
(27:09):
so you see them together. And then let's say it's
like Harry and Charlotte. They'll have a picture of Emma
and I in the outfits. Then Michael Patrick or whoever's directing,
and Michael Patrick also because he's executive producer, will look
at it and approve it because maybe the director had
a vision. Like when Cynthia directed, Cynthia directed, and I
can't remember if we talked about this or not. Cynthia directed,
(27:31):
I want to say the second season when she directed,
and the really funny thing where I was in my
fitting and she just walked by the door because our
production offices are upstairs and our fittings in the second floor.
She walked by the door and she was like, oh,
you're in here, and I was like yes. So she
(27:53):
was like, let's see. Let's see it, and I was
like okay. And she said, you know, in this particular scene,
I just really pictured you like a fawn. And I
was like, you mean like like a deer. Yes, Like
you know, like a doied fawn. I was like okay,
(28:17):
Oh my god. Then we're like what does that mean?
What does that mean? When she left the room and
we got out like a kind of a faun card
and I pulled my hair back and I kind of
put on really long eyelashes.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
She tried to like be like Bambi herself.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Right, I was going for bamby.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
The constant professional Kristen Davis. Thank you so much for
answering these questions.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
It's easy. Thank you Easton for delivering them such a
lovely way.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Is my honor.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
This has been so much fun, it is fun. Thank you.
Thank you everyone for listening.
Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are
you a Charlotte? Hi? Everybody, We're going to do another
episode of Give Me Your Question, So here we go.
The first thing that I wanted to talk about was,
this is just kind of a bizarre thing that has
been happening since we started this podcast. So in my mind,
(00:25):
I was like, yes, I'd love to rewatch Sex and
the City because I haven't ever rewatched it, right, And
that'll be super interesting because it was a long, long
time ago, almost thirty years ago, and I really had
no idea that people were going to be paying so
much attention to what I said. So there's been these
crazy headlines and my mother has called me and asked
(00:46):
me about them because her friends talked to her about them,
and it's just been a little bit overwhelming, I have
to say. And I just thought, you know what this is,
like thirty years ago, I did not think anybody was
going to care. I mean, I thought the fans would care,
and you guys do care, thank goodness. And I feel
like you guys know the truth of what I'm saying.
But sometimes I see these headlines and I do get
(01:08):
a little concerned about people who maybe see the headlines
but don't necessarily listen to the podcast, that they might
not have the right understanding of what I was saying.
So just some of the weird ones, you know what
I said, I said the cult like rules. I don't
know that I said rules, but I definitely said the
word cult. And of course that, of course is a
(01:29):
headline now that the producers forced us to do things.
This is so not the case, you guys, Oh my gosh.
This was that pat Field have a very strong vision
and that's what we love about pat Field, and that's
why we hired pat Field. And my fashion sense was like, uh, nonexistent, right,
So I was just really happy to be told what
(01:51):
was cool and what was in It wasn't rules. The
producers didn't care one way or the other. I mean,
they cared that the show looked great, but I mean
I don't think they cared about the specifics of you know,
how we made it look great or whatever. They were
not involved, so there was no producers making us do
any rules or whatever. Anyway. That's one. Then the other
(02:12):
is you know, the whole you know, horrible mistake I
made about saying the word forced when I was laughing
about Michael Patrick and me having to flash my boob
in the year two thousand, so I laugh. Now, I
don't ever want one of my good friends to get
hurt because of something stupid that I said. And that's
(02:34):
what I feel like happened because I said a word
that they could take out of context, and they did,
and you guys on the social media really cheered me up.
But once I went on the Today Show because you
were like took Kristin out of context, and I really
appreciate that. And I don't know if you're aware, but
sometimes when you look at comments, it can be dark,
and sometimes it can really make you feel so much better.
(02:56):
And that's what you guys do for me on my
Instagram page and on the podcast Instagram page, and think
you keep it coming because sometimes I really really need it.
And then also people still want to talk about this
poor actor that I lend money to, and again I
really really just wanted to say, don't lend money to
people that you're involved with. That was my only point,
(03:16):
Like it just changes the dynamic. It makes it kind
of weird, or it has the potential at least to
make it kind of weird, and I never will say
this person's name, and I feel really badly that I
even opened that box up. So those are the ones
that come to mind. But honestly, just in general, the
whole idea that people are like, uh, creating these headlines
(03:38):
is still I'm just trying to get my mind around
it because I just thought we could just talk freely,
you know what I mean. And I do feel with
you guys that are listening that I am just talking freely,
and I'm really trying to keep that going. I just
don't want any of my friends to get hurt, you know. Okay,
So that's the end of that. Now we have some
other questions from people on our I think from our
(03:59):
instagram is that right?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Easton is here, Hi, Christin, this is so fun. Thank
you for having me back, Thanks for coming back. Yeah,
these coming from Instagram Carrier Pigeon. People are just being
in on the door.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Yelling say, I'm glad you were there to listen to
what the head I.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Wrote everything down on my stenopad. So we're so excited
for season three even just like that, I am part
of the horde that is so excited.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
About the show's nice.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
So a lot of these questions are about and just
like that, this person says, seeing the trailer got me
so excited for and just like that, we see you
say owed to Aiden's postcard to carry in the trailer.
Do you support Aiden's five year rule and even Carrie
for waiting for him?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I know, isn't that a funny little thing? Yeah, it's funny.
I do not support that, me, Kristen, but Charlotte probably
does because you know, for Charlotte, she's just always optimistic.
And I think, you know, when you've had this long
history which Aiden and Carrie have had, and obviously Charlotte
believes in love, and Charlotte was pro Big as we know,
(05:07):
but Big is not here anymore, sadly, and that was
obviously really hard for Charlotte also to watch Carrie go through.
So I think that Charlotte would want Carrie to have love,
and if Carrie tells her that that's what Aiden, I
think Charlotte is going to support that because that's the
kind of friend that Charlotte is, and I support Charlotte
being that kind of friend. Me personally, I feel like
(05:30):
it's kind of complicated and I'm not sure, So let
me just say, let me just say that I really
love this season and I hope that everybody else does.
And it's super interesting writing Like what they wrote I
think is very good. I really really looked forward every
(05:51):
week to seeing what they wrote and watching Sarah Jessica
at the read throughs, and I can't wait to see
the finished product. I haven't seen anything yet. A little
in the trailer interesting, yeah, I mean I've seen tiny
bits and pieces when I had to go do adr,
which is like, you know, the.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
National Dialogue recording, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Of course she knows that was fast man, you're on it.
We also call it looping, right, yes, so when I
had to go do that, I've seen tiny bits and
pieces like but the whole trailer was more than I
have seen. So I also was just like, what, I've
got to watch this again. So that was exciting to
get to see other people watching it as well and
(06:29):
obviously weighing in with all of their thoughts and opinions,
and some of them are very strong. But we love
that also, like I mean, no offense, but we're not
twenty right, do you know what I mean? It's like,
why like five years.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
It's a long time, very long time.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Very long time to wait. So I agree, but I
also feel like it's very hard to be you know,
you're never really in someone's relationship, right, you don't really know.
And I also do feel like Carrie really believes in love.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
She does.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Eass he's worn out, you guys, He's like, oh god,
she does it? Anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
This question comes from me. I'm putting it to the
top of the pile. So I really enjoyed Carrie's podcast
subplot as someone in the business. That was something I
loved in season one.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I'm glad you loved it. Wasn't that a nice studio.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It was a great studio. They had real microphones, there
was a for real set. Yeah, it was awesome. So,
you know, spoiler alert, the podcast goes away, Carrie starts
her own at the end of season two or something.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It seemed to last.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Okay, Yeah, I was curious. I don't know what the
timeline is in terms of you filming if you had
started your podcast yet.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
No, okay, I hadn't. We were working when the idea
came to me, and I was really excited and also nervous,
and I mean, I might add rightly, so no, that
we're in it but I was very much feeling like
I needed to go check in with Michael Patrick and
Sir Jessica about it. So I talked to everyone on
(08:06):
the phone. I had a really great talk with Amy Sugarman,
our executive producer, and she's a super fan and really
blew me off my feet, you know. But then I thought,
I've really got to make sure that everybody feels good
about this, because I only want to do it if
everyone feels good about this. So I think I which
(08:27):
one did I go to first? I think I went
to Sir Juska first, and she immediately was on board
and really supportive and very cheerleadery. Then I went to
Michael Patrick. He had done last year the writer's podcast
that was on the Max podcast exactly, the Companion podcast,
which was very much about the writer's room and the
(08:47):
writer's process, and it was great, but it was very compelling. Yeah, good,
thank you. I mean I didn't want to like tread
on his area or whatever. He one percent was on it. Obviously,
we're rewatching sex in the City, not and just like
that that we do mention it obviously, but he came
up with the title are you a Charlotte Like two
sentences into my explanation, you know, very hardcore supporter and
(09:11):
Cynthia was very low key. Cynthia and I almost did
a podcast many years ago, whoa like right after I know,
this is the third podcast that's been brought to me.
And it was just weird timing too, I think, and like,
in some ways I just didn't have my mind back
around it. The podcast this Cynthia and I were going
to do, then Willie and I were going to do,
which was all before and just like that got Greenlitz.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And I think it was different to think about reflecting
back on the work without us also getting to make
fresh work. And I think somehow getting to reconvene and
be together gave me kind of the grounding to be
able to look back and not just feel like I
was living in the past. Yeah, because that had been
my fear. But I don't feel like that at all,
(09:54):
because obviously things are so different. You know, it's it
is like looking at a time capsule, you know, it's
really interesting. So we were towards the end, we were
almost done, and I just went to them and they
were immediately on board. So then I was like, okay,
goo let's go.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I was wondering, like if you had been doing it,
and then like, there's a podcast thing in the in
the scripture setting. I'm like, well, that's not how it's
actually done, you know, because I have a podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Oh I would never. First of all, I think everyone
at this point has been on a bunch of podcasts,
and Bobby Lee has a podcast. Yes, And you know,
the thing that I think was funny was that when
we saw the set, we were like, this is the
most glamorous podcast that we have ever seen. Like who
gets this? Yes, and obviously not me, but we are
(10:40):
now in a very glamorous screen room. So you guys,
you guys are you guys are moving us up the day?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Okay, great, this question comes in from someone. It was
mentioned if you asked this question, I'm.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Sorry, I will not be named. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It was mentioned earlier in your episode with Michael Patrick
that the writers intentionally didn't have anyone from the girls
families an outside world come into the story. But for fun,
what do you think Charlotte's life was like growing up?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That's cute. I do think it. Also in this finale,
don't I mention something about Sororities. I mean, I think
she went to Smith We know this. I think she
was in Sororities. I think I say it. We know
she was a teen polo model at the mall. I
believe somewhere. I feel like maybe I made this up
(11:43):
that she grew up in Connecticut, which I think makes sense. Yeah,
I don't know if I made it up.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Connecticut.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Okay, are you are you googling?
Speaker 2 (11:51):
I'm googling. I have a computer in front of me.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Are you seeing anything?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah? Really raised in Connecticut. I don't know the exact
city or township.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, because I don't think I know, so I'm not
surprised the Google doesn't know. If I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Here we go early life. We should have gone a
Young Charlotte show on HBO. That should have happened. Wealthy
family in Connecticut. She was a member of Kappa Kappa
Gamma Sorority. Oh my gosh. Let's see she's the newest
friend of the group.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That is true because they have a flashback to the
eighties and I'm not there. That's when Carrie wears that
pink cowboy hat. Yeah, there are some kind of a
like it looks like a college party, but I'm not there.
I don't know if they're in college or not.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
But yeah, in the second movie, they confirmed that you
met Carrie in nineteen eighty seven. Oh well, okay, only
at the most a year before Samantha. Okay, now things
are getting kind.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Of iffy meshed up.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, but that means there's a blank slate for what early.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Because I think we've now you know, done our due
diligence on trying to figure out the roots of Charlotte,
and you know, that has been like a side thing
of the podcast that has really been so helpful for me,
because we've gotten confirmation from Kendice Bushnell that she was
not based on anyone in particular. We've gotten confirmation from
Michael Patrick that when he first got there, he thought,
(13:13):
I don't know how to write for that character. I mean,
we've gotten a lot of interesting confirmations of what I
was feeling at the time, which was that she didn't
have kind of the same fleshed out storylines that the
others had, and I had a lot of anxiety about that.
And now I have a lot less anxiety. Obviously it's
thirty years later, but also because now I know that
no that was all actually real and they just created
(13:36):
me as we went Which what a lucky person I am,
you know what I'm saying, Like, what a fantastic situation
to find yourself in. Slightly scary at the time, because
when you've been an out of work actor for like
roughly a decade, you know, a little bit less than
a decade, you know, you're very vulnerable about it, all right,
and you want to make sure you have a place
(13:57):
a place in this thing that you want to be
a part of, which I did feel on the set, right,
But when I would go home and think about, like,
who is Charlotte, I don't know, because they didn't know,
you know, so you know, you're kind of making it
up as you go. And then as we found out
from Jenny Biks, Jenny Bicks grew up on the Upper
East Side, So when Jenny Bicks came, I feel like
Charlotte got a lot more kind of depth and grounding
(14:22):
in the world that we were in because Jenny brought that.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah, I was thinking about as an actor, you obviously
want more as much information as possible about the character,
but like if you get like a Bible or something
of their whole entire life. That must be intimidating too,
to make sure you.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
First of all, it never happens. Second of all, I mean,
I do know actors that create that bible, and they
might depending on the situation, they might create it by themselves,
or they might create it with an acting teacher, acting coach,
or if they're really close to the showrunner or the writers,
they might create it together. But it's a rare thing,
and I think with us, I mean, I don't think
(15:01):
well asked Sir Jessica if she did that. I don't
think she did that. But I think that Sarah Jessica
already because she was in New Yorker and she really
was an it girl. She was a downtown it girl,
which was a little bit different than Candace's version of
the it girl. But she knew kind of the vibe.
You don't know, I'm saying she knew who these people
were just from being in the Manhattan like nightlife, you know,
(15:26):
the I don't know if she would describe it that way,
but you don't. We'll ask her when we see her
next week. But I think that she already had such
a grounded sense of who they were and how they
dressed and what they did. I so didn't have any
of that. Like I had lived in New York already,
but I was an out of work actor waitress, very
very different life, very very different life. So part of
(15:47):
me I was just like, how do I do this?
What do I do? What do I do? And in
my mind and this is what you do as an actor.
You create the backstory that you need that helps you
to understand who they were. So as I think I've said,
I would just go up to the Upper east Side
and I would just walk around the shops, walk up
and down Madison Avenue and look at the women and
look at their hair. Most of them had baby carriages,
(16:10):
some of them didn't. I'd look at their coats, I'd
look at their bags and try to look at how
they walked and talked and if they were talking to somebody.
You know, you're trying to pick up details and then
you're making the facts up in your mind to back
up those details. Did that make sense? Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And I'm picturing you like walking over down in Massive Avenue,
like write, like with like a notebook or something else.
Seems like something Charlotte would do.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I didn't have a note because I'm a visual memorizer,
so I would have snapshots. I have snapshots when I
tell you about it. Wow, still in my mind of
what I saw then, which is why I was trying
to get her to grow her hair out and they
had made me cut it. But you can see the
progression during the first season. I'm like, look, it's getting better.
It's getting better. It's almost of the place I want it.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Uh. This next question I love because I my New York.
I grew up on the West coast of my New
York like knowledge was Sex and the City and Seinfeld
that was it, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And so different, so different.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
But I was like, oh, Seinfeld's little cartoon version Sex
and City is what are It's really like?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
This question is so sorry.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Do you think Sex and the City shows a realistic
depiction of life in Manhattan?
Speaker 1 (17:17):
No? No, unfortunately No. I mean I think it did
for this tiny group of women, right, because it was
based on some real people. And as Candice told us
at one point when she was writing the column Sex
and the City that was in the New York Observer,
she was living in a doorman building, so she was
obviously doing well. I mean, I didn't have the thought
to ask her, like, were your parents helping you or whatever?
(17:39):
I mean, I think it's possible, right, I don't know
that or not to be true, but I do think
that a lot of these people came from generational wealth
and were thus at a certain point in New York
society that would come with generational wealth. But we don't
really say that in the show either.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, yeah, I mean interesting because like Samantha can afford
like I don't have a doubt that can afford her life.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, she was her own pr lawyer.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
A lawyer trying to be a partner carries the baffling one.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Well, carries the baffling one, and this will become an
issue as we know, right, carries the baffling one. And Charlotte,
I do think that in my mind she was supported
by her parents. You know that because all of well
at the time, at least the beautiful young girls who
were working at the galleries were all supported by the parents.
(18:31):
Because you couldn't really be like kind of an assistant
at an art gallery and make a living, like it's
a tough kind of a job. But yet there are
there are still gorgeous young people, men and women who
are doing that and I don't know how that we
should call them up. We should. I should go to
some art collaries next time in New York. Yes, them
should do some research. But yeah, I think that that
(18:53):
there is a assumption that parents were helping, or there
was trust funds or something. Yeah, but only does never
mention a trust fund, which I find interesting because I
always thought there was like some money, but not a
lot of money. Because once we get to the trade era,
you know, obviously she wants that apartment, like there's things
(19:13):
about him that he has that she really loves.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
What do you think Charlotte's attachment style is?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
And there's a lit I looked at this list, ok,
because my first thing I thought was she's secure, secure attachment,
because that's definitely where she's at now with Harry. But
then I was like, oh wait, she was maybe not?
Maybe not? Then isn't there one there's like anxious attachment.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Anxious preoccupied attachment? I think probably that that's what I
would guess too, a style where people have a fear
of abandonment and a constant need for reassurance.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Right, But that makes it sound so awful, but I
just really think that's like human normalness. I don't know.
Maybe that's saying a lot about me. I don't know.
I just feel like people, especially when you're younger, you know,
like because obviously in the first season, Charlotte very much
like believes in love and wants to get married, and
she puts that right out there. But she's also kind
(20:14):
of choosy in an interesting way. But I do feel
like she definitely wants to know, you know, like, wants
to be attached and wants affirmation of that. Yeah, I
think it hard to be objective sometimes.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
It is this question here, what is the process like
prior to shooting an episode with fittings and thinking out
the looks for the episodes?
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Oh yeah, it is a process. Let me tell you
first of all, as I think you know, we're very, very,
very spoiled. We have just the most incredible costume department
and costume designers Mollie Rogers, who I had on that
was so much fun. And Danny Santiago works with her.
He's also amazing, and he has like a vintage world
(21:03):
at his figuertips that you would not believe. And we
have many and many other people and all through the
show we had so many people helping and eventually so
many designers lending us things, which was great. The only
the only downside is that we spend a lot of
times in fittings, like like a lot, like a lot,
a lot, a lot like hours and hours. I don't know,
(21:24):
like I think I've had an eight hour fitting. Yeah,
it's fine. I mean it's part of the job. And
you know, luckily they really make it fun. I mean,
if you were trying to do eight hours of like
suits because you were a lawyer, that would be super boring.
But because we have this like full fantasy world that
we're creating, I mean, I am my own character within
(21:44):
that fancy world, right, so sometimes I walk in the
other character. They do it by areas, right, so they'll like,
there'll be an LTW character aisle, and I'll walk down
that aisle. I'll be like, I want all this stuff.
I can't have that stuff. I can't even pull that
stuff off. I mean, she does it, and she does
it so beautifully, but it's really fun to walk down there.
Or sometimes I'll go and carry's asle because we have
(22:05):
the same size put Oh yes, I'll be like, oh
does she have these slotted for an outfit?
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And they'll be like, get out of there, Kristen. You know,
it's fun. And then sometimes there were times in the
past where at the end of the season I would
take home some of Miranda's clothes because they were like
really wearable every days.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yeah they look super comfy.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Super comfy, nice fabrics, good colors, turtlenecks and things. I
still wear some of them, but yeah, Samantha's clothes. Couldn't
pull those off either. But it is fun, but it's
a lot of work. I remember also when we were
doing the show, there was never any time for fittings
because we were working so hard in such long hours.
And I do remember I might have mentioned this with
Molly that one time when I wrapped at two am,
(22:53):
they said, you have to go to your fitting and
I was like ha ha, and they're like, no, no,
you have to go to your fitting. And I was like,
you got guys, Oh the pain. But there was just
no other time to do it, so we did it.
We did it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
During the fittings, Like the wardrobe people are there. I
assume there's a producer someone there. Now no who is
giving the like who's given the feedback? I guess on
what you're going to use is it? Like, like, do
you have any how much? Say do you have as
the actor? Like, oh, I really like this.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Well it's our world. We have a lot of say
yeah good. I mean, as we have for a long time,
you know. I mean I've always said that we've always
been very involved in all of it. And I have
felt that even when we had no title, you know,
like now we're executive producers of and just like that.
But we used to not have any title, but it
didn't mean that we weren't involved. Michael Patrick would sit
us down before the season started and run through everything
(23:48):
with us and say what do you think? Like he
did not have to do that, and he did that,
which is part of the reason that we have the
relationship that we do is that I really felt that
we were respected and considered all the time. But with
the clothes, I think so pat was very strong, right, like,
she was very strong, and occasionally she would try to
(24:10):
talk me into things that I was like, I just
do not think Charlotte would wear this, and she would
try for weeks. Okay, sometimes she'd go over my head
to Darren. I'd be like, Darren, she can't wear it.
It just doesn't make sense, you know, because Pat's very
fanciful and doesn't really care about real life, you know,
and that's kind of the joy. But also sometimes if
you're playing Charlotte, you kind of gotta care about real
(24:32):
life a little bit, a little bit. But often sometimes
too she'd try, she'd say like look at this, and
you look at it me and be like, god, I
don't know, and then like over time she'd wear you down,
you know what I mean. But it's always a group decision.
In the fittings. Now we also photograph everything, and we also,
you know, we're going in the script order, so like
this is true for all production. I think you have
(24:54):
the script. Someone in the costume department has done a breakdown,
so every scene is listed with the description. You know,
they're at the coffee shop, Charlotte says she's come from work,
something like that, something very practical, like so that you know,
if there's something that affects her clothing in the scene,
right then you know they will have already thought about
(25:19):
let's say it's a coffee shop scene. Those are the
hardest because everyone's in it, right yea, So they have
to think about the colors and the textures and the
daytime or the nighttime, or the cold or the heat.
Theoretically it might not match the actual real cold and
the heat and the real temperatures out in the world, right,
but in the story, what season is it? And so
they'll have an idea. Maybe they've done Cynthia's spinning already,
(25:40):
but they haven't done Sir Jessica's spinning, and they haven't
done nicoles, and they maybe have done so Rita's right,
they can show you a picture. Oh, Soerita's wearing, you know,
cream silk. Cynthia's wearing these bold stripes, so we were
thinking for you. They'll have pre thought out ideas. So
they'll have maybe like ten things. They're like separates. There
were dress or pants or whatever. They'll say like, oh,
(26:02):
this might be a great time to wear some pants.
You know, Sharlotte doesn't wear a ton of pants, right, Oh,
this might be a great time we wear some pants
because blah blah blah whatever reason, or we found this
amazing jumpsuit or whatever it is. Right, So they have
some ideas and then you pick the one you like
the best. You try it on. It might not fit.
It might be a color that doesn't work on you. Whatever,
you move on to the next or maybe you think, oh,
this is so amazing. Let's put it at this dinner scene,
(26:24):
which is a little bit more glamorous, and this outfit
is a little you know, it's like this. And then eventually,
once you get your picks for each thing slotted in,
they've photographed everything, They've listed everything. Usually almost everything gets
to be altered, which you know, I think is an
important point or super spoiled. But like, that's why it
all fits us. It's not like if we went to
the store and pulled things off the shelves that they
(26:46):
would fit us like that. It would not be true,
at least for me. I can only speak for myself.
But our tailoring department is unbelievably talented. Like they do
so much work, Adrian, thank you. So then their pictures
slotted in and they make a book. So for each scene,
let's say that all four of us are five of
us are in a scene, they'll be every one's picture,
(27:09):
so you see them together. And then let's say it's
like Harry and Charlotte. They'll have a picture of Emma
and I in the outfits. Then Michael Patrick or whoever's directing,
and Michael Patrick also because he's executive producer, will look
at it and approve it because maybe the director had
a vision. Like when Cynthia directed, Cynthia directed, and I
can't remember if we talked about this or not. Cynthia directed,
(27:31):
I want to say the second season when she directed,
and the really funny thing where I was in my
fitting and she just walked by the door because our
production offices are upstairs and our fittings in the second floor.
She walked by the door and she was like, oh,
you're in here, and I was like yes. So she
(27:53):
was like, let's see. Let's see it, and I was
like okay. And she said, you know, in this particular scene,
I just really pictured you like a fawn. And I
was like, you mean like like a deer. Yes, Like
you know, like a doied fawn. I was like okay,
(28:17):
Oh my god. Then we're like what does that mean?
What does that mean? When she left the room and
we got out like a kind of a faun card
and I pulled my hair back and I kind of
put on really long eyelashes.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
She tried to like be like Bambi herself.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Right, I was going for bamby.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
The constant professional Kristen Davis. Thank you so much for
answering these questions.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
It's easy. Thank you Easton for delivering them such a
lovely way.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Is my honor.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
This has been so much fun, it is fun. Thank you.
Thank you everyone for listening.
