Let’s be real for a second—there’s no Sex and the City without Carrie Bradshaw, and there’s absolutely no Carrie Bradshaw without Sarah Jessica Parker. The thought of anyone else stepping into those iconic Manolo Blahniks and delivering those sharp one-liners makes me shiver—not in a good way. But here’s the twist: our worst nightmare almost became a reality.

In an exclusive chat with Entertainment Weekly, the mastermind behind SATC, Darren Star, spilled the tea on how the show’s legendary cast came together. It’s a story that will make you appreciate the final lineup even more.

But here’s the kicker: Kristin Davis knew deep down that Carrie Bradshaw wasn’t her destiny. She thought to herself, “There’s no way in a million years I could pull off Heather Locklear’s body.” And let’s not forget, Carrie smoked and swore—things that just weren’t in Kristin’s comfort zone. She realized, “Carrie is fantastic, but I’m Charlotte.” And thank heavens she did! Can you picture anyone else as the Upper East Side princess with a heart of gold?
