Secrets From The Set

You’ll want to re-watch every episode after reading all of these fun facts!

Can you believe it’s been 20 years since Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Miranda Hobbes and Charlotte York first strutted into our lives in their Manolo Blahniks? The Sex and the City ladies tackled everything from monogamy to manhood size, and they did it all in sky-high heels, with a cocktail in hand. But despite having watched every episode roughly 112 times, it turns out that there is still a lot we don’t know about the series that holds such a special place in our hearts. Cosmos at the ready!

1BFF BLIND DATE 

He plays Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) gay BFF Stanford Blatch, but in real life, Willie Garson (right) is straight. He’s also a long-time friend of SJP’s – they became pals after they were set up on a blind date!

2 THE HEEL HAS IT

Kim Cattrall insisted that she wore heels at all times during filming, even if the cameras only captured her from the waist up. This was so she’d always feel like sassy Samantha. We get it, girl!

3 BLONDES HAVE MORE FUN

She’s known for her trademark curly blonde locks, but did you know that Carrie Bradshaw was originally going to be a brunette? Producers made the call to go blonde just 24 hours before the pilot was filmed, because Candace Bushnell (the real-life Carrie) boasted lighter tresses!
