25 Things You Still Didn't Know About 'Sex In New York'

Why was she wearing a bra in the sex scenes?

Sarah Jessica Parker has starred in several mythical sex scenes during the series but she has always done it with her bra on unlike her companions. The actress has acknowledged that she feels that those scenes were free and did not add anything to the plot. So she always had a no-nudity clause.

Kim didn't want to be Samantha

We know that Sex and the City 3 will never see the light for her, but the series may not have been what we know also because of her. Kim Cattrall turned down the role of Samantha twice until she was eventually convinced to accept it.

Very real details

Vivienne Westwood designed the wedding dress Carrie wore to her failed wedding to Big. In addition, the thank you note that the protagonist receives when she receives the dress was actually written by the designer.

The "real" ending was different

The author of the original book admits that Carrie and Big would not have had a happy ending in real life. However, the couple became an icon and the series team was sure that the audience would not take well if they did not end up together.

John Corbett knew that Big would end Carrie

"I always knew how it was going to end. It made sense because New York was the fifth character in the series. Carrie had to end New York and Big is New York. It's something that has always made sense to me," the actor said in a interview.

The book was heavier

If you have read it you will know. The book Candace Bushnell wrote had little to do with the series. The plot was based on the writer's own life and reflected much harsher and more realistic scenes.

They never got along

Although they have denied it for years, the truth is that Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall never got along. So much so, that they have recently starred in a bitter controversy in relation to the third Sex and the City movie . Kim's demands have made it impossible and the rest of the cast has been very touched by it.

Sarah Jessica Parker almost turned down the role

The actress was not sure she wanted to put herself in Carrie Bradshaw's shoes and was about to reject it. The producers' second choice was Lisa Edelstein, House's Dr. Cuddy . But in the end, her representative convinced her.

Victoria Beckham almost made a cameo

It would have been in the first movie but it all came to nothing. The filming dates coincided with the rehearsals for the Spice Girls tour and it could not be.

Cynthia kept the clothes

Most of the clothes Charlotte, Samantha and Carrie wore came from sample books for the brands, so when filming was over, they had to be returned. However, since Miranda's style was much more classic, her clothes were bought, so the actress had permission to keep what she liked.

Matthew McConaughey's cameo

It was a fluke. Before proposing to the actor a stellar appearance in the series, they had tried their luck with Alec Baldwin, for whom the role was originally written, George Clooney and Warren Beatty. All three turned it down and offered it to Matthew McConaughey.

There is an alternative "opening"

The creator of the series revealed in an interview that there is an alternative opening of the series that has never seen the light of day. In it, Carrie appeared in a blue dress and tripped when she saw the bus rather than being splashed as she passed.

Their addresses were false

If you are going to visit New York, do not look for the addresses of the houses of the girls in the series, because they do not exist. But if you want to see where they "lived" you can take a tourist bus tour in which they will show you some of the places where the scenes of the series were filmed.

The fifth season is the shortest

The fifth season of Sex and the City only had eight episodes because Sarah Jessica Parker was pregnant with her first child.

They never went to Abu Dhabi

Actually, the second Sex and the City movie was not filmed in that country but in Morocco. The Emirate authorities denied permission after reading the script, so they had to shoot in Morocco.

Carrie was going to be a brunette

In principle, Carrie was going to be a brunette, but in the end the producers decided to make her blonde because the author of the book on which the series is based is blonde.

The post-it always hits twice

Do you remember the chapter where Jack Berger leaves Carrie with a note on a post-it? Well, that story, like the vast majority of those that appeared in the series, was based on real events. It happened to one of the screenwriters.

The cocktails were fake

As much "cosmo" as the girls on screen drank, their glasses did not contain a drop of vodka, but were filled with water with food coloring.

The last episode was shot three days before airing

Although there was not so much danger of spoilers at the time, the series finale was shot three days before it aired. Quite a record.

Cynthia Nixon almost missed the casting

And all because of her hair color. The actress did the first test to play Miranda as a blonde, which did not convince producer Darren Star, who wanted there to be diversity among the girls in both hair color and silhouettes. Luckily there are dyes.

She ran out of prize

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall both won individual awards for their performance. The only one who was left without an award was Kristin Davis.

Carrie's tutu was

It was the most iconic look of the series, and that it did not lack mythical styles, but it was not from a great firm but it came from a sales stand and it only cost $ 5.

Accumulate an immense amount of recognitions

There was life on television before Game of Thrones , and Sex and the City was able to rack up a slew of awards in its six seasons. He won seven Emmys, eight Golden Globes, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards.

They never repeated clothes

None of the characters repeated styling during the series. The only exception is this fur coat that Carrie wore in the first season and the final episode.
