Kristin Davis Has Opened Up About The Role Of Charlotte Almost Being Heavily Reduced, And Being Supported By Sarah Jessica Parker As She Lifted The Lid On The Early Days Of “Sex And The City”

“It’s very clear that I’m on a different trajectory, and you do kind of think: ‘How did Charlotte get to be friends with these girls?’ It’s interesting, right? [But] that is how friend groups are,” she pointed out. “You’re going to have a variety of friend groups. I always thought that was weird, through the years when people would bring that up to me. Like: ‘Why are you friends with them?’ I’m like: ‘Why wouldn’t I be friends with them? They’re fascinating, they’re interesting.'”

“Honestly, when I looked back on it, I do think they were trying to save money, but I also think they were like: ‘Well, she’s so different, and the other three are kind of powerful,'” Kristin continued. “I knew she was different; it’s definitely different, but in my gut, I felt like it was really important to have this other character.”

“So even though I was super stressed about this weird paperwork thing, I did feel like: ‘No, no, they need me,’” she added. “I felt inside that they needed me, and I’m so happy that I did because, obviously, it could have really gone wrong. Anyone can get recast or cut at any time in our business, but in my gut, I didn’t feel like that would happen.”
