Few TV shows have had the same cultural impact as “Sex and the City.”
The show literally defined many fashions, footwear, foods, and friendships in the noughties.
“Sex and the City” dates back more than 20 years.
It wasfirst aired in 1998on HBO, and soon became a mega hit.
There’s no doubt about it this show was a huge deal!
Curious to find out what really went on behind the scenes?
Here is the untold truth of “Sex and the City.”
And shoes were an essential part of the show’s fashions.
In 2013, the actress revealed that the heels took a toll on her feet.
“I literally ran in heels,” she confessed to The Edit (viaE!
“I worked 18-hour days and never took them off.”
Apparently, she discovered years later that Carrie’s heels had actually done some permanent damage.
She then explained that her bones had actually moved around and were in the wrong places.
Yikes, that doesn’t sound good!
These days, things are changing, thanks to more and more women speaking up (viaBusiness Insider).
Unfortunately, this seems to have been the case for the women of “Sex and the City.
“‘Girls’ has been important in changing the game for female actresses,” Nixon commented.
It certainly couldn’t have been easy for the main cast.
However, Star wasn’t pleased.
Even though Star was disappointed with the romantic ending, Sarah Jessica Parker thought differently.
However, it turns out, we almost got a very different leading lady.
However, Parker’s mind was changed when the web connection explained that she’d never be held hostage.
She explained that they said, “No, no, no.
We don’t function like that.
We want you here if you want to be here.”
Thank goodness Parker was convinced to continue in her role we can’t imagine a different Carrie!
As fashion editor Chelsea Fairless said toThe Guardian, “That show was as white as it gets.”
However, it turns out that the cast wasn’t comfortable with this lack of diversity.
But for Nixon, this wasn’t a good excuse.
“It is six years later now, and I think it’s irresponsible,” she stated.
The book contained theloveletters of Henry VIII,Mozart, Pliny, Napoleon, andOscar Wilde.
As Bushnell explained in a piece forThe Hollywood Reporter, the column was pretty much all her idea.
Kaplan then came up with the now-famous title “Sex and the City.”
It’s fascinating to hear about how it all began!
It turns out she even had her own “Mr.
However, it turns out that the character was originally imagined as a brunette in the first pilot script.
While looks shouldn’t matter, having a darker hair color definitely would have changed Carrie.
According toBuzzFeed, the producers decided to make Carrie a blond character just 24 hours before shooting the pilot.
Talk about a last-minute decision.
Sarah Jessica Parker actually had a warm brunette color for that first episode.
We’re glad that the producers changed their minds Carrie’s blond hair is totally iconic!
It turns out, however, that none of the story lines were entirely made up.
Apparently, a lot of the stories were seriously shocking.
However, Davis' parents grew to love watching the show.
Her father, a college teacher, even used it for his class on “Marriage and Sexuality.”
However, Davis admitted her mother wasn’t a huge fan of Samantha’s sexual escapades on the show.
Davis herself was even shocked by some storylines especially when Samantha had her lesbian relationship.
Sounds like it wasn’t always easy for someone like Davis to be on such a risque show!
You probably even know the name of the bakery Magnolia.
Eventually, the bakery even hired security staff to stop fans from barging in.
One security guard wrote his own account of the Magnolia phenomenon forThe Billfold.
Apparently, the staff, like the shop’s neighbors, were annoyed by the fans.
Yikes if that doesn’t disillusion you about the famous cupcake scene, we don’t know what will!
However, for the “Sex and the City” cast, it was a different story.
As Sarah Jessica Parker once said, “I always ate the food.”
It’s silly.”
She went on to say that she and Cynthia Nixon saw eating the food as part of their job.
However, it turns out, Cattrall wasn’t initially too keen on the show.
I think that at 41, I didn’t know if I could pull it off.”
Eventually, Cattrall said goodbye to the world of “Sex and the City” for good.
In 2017, Cattrall turned down a third “Sex and the City” film.
As she told Piers Morgan, “That was part of turning 60.”
Her decision caused a huge reaction online, but Cattrall stuck to her decision.
The show was filled with wild clothing items and some truly inspirational outfits (viaBustle).
“I have it all,” she said.
Apparently, Parker even got to keep her “Carrie” necklace.
“I love it and it’s tucked away somewhere safe,” the star gushed.
It’s so cool to think that all of Carrie’s incredible outfits are being carefully persevered by Parker.
It definitely feels like the right way to commemorate the show.
As far as King was concerned, showcasing the sex lives of 50-year-old women was somewhat revolutionary.
There’s a missing chapter here,'" King said.
The reboot was also a chance to bring people some much-needed nostalgia.
It’s now," she said.
