Before landing a leading role in "Sex and the City," Kristin Davis's career was not exactly thriving, and she is the first to admit that. "I was an out-of-work actor, living in the hills in LA with my dogs, doing a lot of yoga," she told The Telegraph. "I'd been on 'Melrose Place' for a year, which was one of ["Sex and the City" creator] Darren Star's other shows, and I'd gotten killed off, which was kind of sad, kind of not. I felt like it wasn't a great fit."
Then, Davis landed the part that would change her career forever. It was also a role her manager, Dave Fleming, wholeheartedly believed she was right for. "I knew a couple of other actresses up for the 'Sex and the City' role, but she was the only one I could recommend," Fleming told New Beauty. "She was Charlotte. She still is. People love her."
There's no denying Davis' extended time starring in the "Sex and the City" franchise remains her most successful career move, and having the show associated with her name also isn't something she minds. "'Sex and the City' is, and always will be, my dream project — it's the best creative experience of my life," she told New Beauty in 2022.
