Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know, are
you a Charlotte? So we are back with Molly Price
and we're going to talk about when she came back
to see us on the first season.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
The first episode actually of just like that. I think
it was the first episode. Yeah, So it was really
fun because we got to have her back up for
all these years with a totally.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Different hair color.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Unfortunately, you come to BIG's funeral. So for anyone who
doesn't know Big dies, I had a guest on the
other day.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Mollie, who did not know. Oh no, oh, no, I know.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I felt like someone who's told a child that there
is no Santa Claus.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Oh no, b yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
She was very upset with us.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Even though she wasn't necessarily like a big stand, she
was still seemed very upset. Yeah, it was really interesting.
I didn't think there was anyone who didn't know. But
that's because I live in my own bubble of.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Reading that day, because all of the background workers, they
didn't want anybody to know that Big had died. So
when they were speaking, when the background workers were in
the art studio, which is where we filmed that day,
right and Chelsea they would use her. She and then
(01:22):
when all the background workers were released and they turned
around and we were seeing all of the cast speaking
about mister Big. It was at that point that the
script changed and everybody was referencing mister Big. But they
didn't want anybody to know, so the whole day we
had to keep it a secret because the background workers
(01:45):
and Macraber workers, the background artists were all under the
impression that the person who that they were there to
memorialize was a woman. I had a line. My line was,
am I the only one that remembers what a fucking
asshole he was. The girl that I had to say
to was sitting next to me at the funeral, and
I remember, after we've finished shooting, she said, why did
(02:07):
you ask me if he was an apple? If the
person that died was a woman?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (02:13):
And I said something like, I didn't write the episode.
I don't know, you'd have to have one writers. Good Molly,
I'm going to craft service Sea later by.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Wow, Wow, I had forgotten all this drama in that day. Yeah,
it was a big day. What I do remember is
they hadn't gotten the montage together yet of Big that
we were supposed to be watching on the wall.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So we had puppies and stuff. Do you remember this?
Were you there for that part.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yes, there's like puppies and kiddies and pandas. And at
one point, Sarah Jesca never breaks like never, never, like
not from laughing, not from any anything, do you.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And she's sitting next to me in the scene.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And at one point they're you know, they're doing close
up after close up, and we're watching the puppies and
trying to have our feelings, and I think it was
just one more angle and Sarah was just like.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Ah, just like felt on her knees and put her
head in my.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Lap and just started just like hysterically laughing, which I
had never experienced before in my life.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
And I did bring that up to her somewhere that
we were doing press, and she was like.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
It was the puppies, the puppies, because I'd forgotten the
crazy It was like almost like a screensaver montage.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yes, you know. Yeah, they were trying to trick everybody,
so they didn't know what was going on because it
was such a huge storyline, such a huge reveal, So
it was it was beautifully done. I mean a lot
of thought went into keeping that a secret, and you know,
I'm impressed that they did me too. I had forgot
somebody would have leaked it to some you know, TMZ
(03:48):
would have gotten word or something.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I mean, we have this eleborate thing with our scripts
as well, which I'm sure they put you through with
the watermark and you had to like sign into the
thing to get this dada. Yeah, already have mercy. It's
a lot to go through. But the FBI, Yeah, exactly,
it is like working for the FBI yet in the
entertainment world.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And what else? Was it weird to come back? Was
it fun? Was it strange?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I mean, oh my god, it was absolutely thrilling because
I remember we had the we had to read through
out at what's the beautiful lot out in at the
Brooklyn Yards.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
And it was a long day and we read and
then you know, there was like lunch and just to
see everybody and and too and to like, you know,
I was on the show twice on Sex and the City,
so this was the third time that I was in
this you know, zeitgeist. But it just felt like such
a huge honor and a privilege to be a part
(04:47):
of the launch of you know, and just like that,
because everyone was so excited to see where everybody was
going to be like that many years later, and I
just remember the read through was so funny, and the
show was so different, and yet it was so essentially
the same at its core. But everybody, you know, had
(05:10):
changed so much and the world had changed, and it
was just remarkable to be there and to sit in
that room and just listen to everyone, you know, go
back into that world again to witness it, you know,
because I was more of a witness than a participant,
and it was thrilling. And then the day that we
(05:31):
shot it was just thrilling because the costumes and it's
always so glamorous. They do the best makeup, they do
the best hair, like you're just your best self when
you're on that show. So it was just, you know,
it's television history in terms of your association to that.
I mean, you guys really changed the landscape of television.
(05:52):
So to be a part of it is just, you know,
I've done a lot of things in my life, but
no matter where I go, even if I travel like
out of the country, Susan Sharon is the thing that
always people will recognize me for.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's so funny, that's so great.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
She's the out of everything I've ever done through Wow,
people are like, are you Susan Sharon? And then I'm like,
well not, you know really, and then they freak out.
I mean you must know, I do freak out any association,
any affiliation to that show. I was with my son
on Mother's Day and I said, oh, I'm going to
go on this podcast and talk to Kristen Davis about
(06:33):
Sex and the City. And he goes, he's twenty one, right,
He's like mon, no, And I was like, yeah, He's like, mon.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
My girlfriend older friends.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Is it a board game? Is there a board game
called are You a Charlotte?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I'm not that I'm aware of. I mean, I'm not
getting paid for it.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
All right, Well we should look into this your people,
You guys much If there's a board game all of
the girls at his college play and the board game
where you all the characters are in it, and you
figure you played the board game to figure out which
character from Sex and the City, Wow, you are the
most like.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I love it. I don't know, I don't know, you're
going to have.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
To call matel and find out if you're missing out.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I will, I will.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I think that the original quiz of like you know,
just which character?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Are you right?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Is BuzzFeed, I want to say. And then when I
was going to do the podcast, I went to work.
We were working on this last season, and I asked
Michael Patrick about it, and then I asked her Jessica
about it because I needed to know that they were
going to be supportive, you know, before I said yes, sure,
and they were super supportive. And I was maybe three
sentences in when he said.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I have the title are you a Charlotte? You know
his right or mind? You know right away.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
That's very generous of him, very generous, very very generous,
very funny and generous.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I have one more question. Okay, are you a Charlotte? No,
tell us what you are?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I would think, hands down Miranda. Yeah, that's the part
that I was supposed to audition for that I didn't
go to.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Oh my god, it makes perfect sense.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I was supposed to audition for Miranda, and I didn't.
I didn't go to Queens. Wow. Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Yeah, I mean you never know, you never know. You
would have been great. I love it.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yes, you seem like a Miranda to me as well, Yes,
well we love Miranda. Yes you have you seen that book?
We should all be Miranda's. No, Yeah, it's funny.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's because you know how different characters kind of have
different heydays or whatever, like times where people like, there
was a time where Carrie was you know, everyone loved
carry and then there was a time where people wanted
to criticize Carrie, and then Miranda was thought of as
not being a citing for a while, and then there
was a time where everyone was like, no, we should
all be Miranda's. And also Charlotte at one point was
thought of as being like the super boring one, and
(09:07):
then there was a time when everyone was like, oh, no,
Charlotte has had an amazing you know trade.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
She's like a sage.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Thank you, that's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And I think I think Samantha maybe has always been
celebrated and beloved. I feel like because of the freedom,
you know, the freedom that she encapsulates, you know, and
projects into the world for women. But I feel like
everyone has had different different times where they you know,
rise and fall, which I love, and different times in
your life.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You'll you'll feel closer to different characters.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
Yes, and I would think they are very essentially probably
the most quintessential for archetypes, like archetypes of women. They
do represent all the different you know, chakras of a
woman's you know, the types of women that exist in
the world. Yes, so it's it's so well done. It's
(10:00):
an orchestra, and nobody would work without the other one.
It's the synergy is really is the magic of that show.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Definitely, thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It's fine to catch up here. Thank you part of it. Yeah,
it's my pleasure. Yeah right, all right, we'll see you soon.
