Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are
you a Charlotte? Hello, everybody, welcome back to Are You
a Charlotte? This is part two with Amanda hersh rewatching
are We Sluts? And she is the host of a
not Skinny Button effect. Welcome back, here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So you filmed only your stuff, so all this other
stuff is being filmed. So at the time were you
reading their scenes?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yes, yes, we would get the script. You know, you
get the first script when you're working, you're in the
middle of it. You get the script and it's the
first version. It may not be you know what ends
up being filmed, right, you'd get the script. We would
all like rush home to read it or read it
at lunch or whatever. We'd be so excited, right, like
what's going to happen? Then we would have a read
(00:54):
through with everybody because Michael Patrick's very, very old school,
so he wants to see what jokes work, where the
slow parts are. You know, it's very a performative type
of a readthrough, where like if your jokes don't hit,
they get cut, which I still am trying to explain
to the young actors who played my children and then
just like that, I'm like, you guys have to like perform, okay,
(01:17):
because I don't want your stuff to get cut.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh like you still did that?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, but it grew, It grew
and grew and grew. Like in the olden days. We
would do it in this writer's room upstairs at Silver Cup.
Do you know Silver Cup Studios are, Yeah, so you know,
it's like that old red factory. It's very vertical building.
It's not a normal sound stage, and upstairs is where
the writers were. So we'd go up there at lunch
time we'd be working. We would only have an hour.
(01:42):
We'd go up there. We'd be in this little writer's room.
No one from HBO would come. It was like very
low key, but it was just us, our writers, our
actors reading quick, quick, quick to see what works right.
And then later on there might be the writers would
meet after the read through and discuss what what didn't work,
what stands out to them, what they want to tweak,
(02:03):
you know, or maybe just throw out whole storylines right
like they might. We might. We would time it so
if it was over, a storyline might get cut, yeah,
and then they'd rewrite. So you'd get the next script
and then they might rewrite again before you film it,
so there'd be a little bit of time that you
get to kind of process what your character's doing, and
(02:26):
you might, you know, get to potentially change it. I
remember this read through where this man is shouting you
know you can. I went to Cynthia right when I
got the script and I was like, I do not
like this storyline. I don't want to do it. I
don't like it. She was like, it's hysterical, You've got
(02:46):
to do it. And I was like, no, I don't
like it. I think it's so over the top and
you know, not fair for Charlotte to get to have
to be called these names. Like I was just very
in it. Do you know what I'm saying? Like not
objective at all. And so we go to the read
through and everyone laughs so hard that I'm like, oh, no,
you never have to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
And Nicole Halofsner was directing this episode. Do you know
who she is? No, she's very very cool indie film
writer and director who we're just really lucky that we got.
She also did a lot of parks and rec like
at the time, she she's done all these films with
Emily Mortimer. She had a film which I'm Jennifer Andison.
I can't remember all the names right now, but you
would know them. They're they're very character driven, like intimate films,
(03:33):
you know, very kind of real, very very real. She
was directing. And when we go to do this scene
with this guy whose name I've just blocked out, I'm sorry, actor,
but you know we're filming, and they film his side first, right,
so you know how they you know, they're doing close
ups and whatnot, and we're really really close to each other.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We have like a tiny set, like you have to
be there. Oh, we're in if they're not, because they're not.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Never we never aren't there. You know what I'm saying.
We would never do that. We would never do that.
That's like not cool on that. That's like yeah, and
like not nice to the actors, you know what I'm
saying the other actors, right, not cool. And also because
in a bed scene, your your shoulder, you're you're you know,
you're physically so close that that would pretty much be
(04:25):
impossible to film without you know, both people, right, So
for some reason, they do his side first, which is
not also totally cool, like you're supposed to do the
people who are in the show all the time first,
because like when you're fresh or whatever. But obviously I'm
just reacting to him, you know. And I think it
had to do with how I think at this point
Charlotte does not have an entire apartment still. I have
(04:49):
like two walls that they would move from my bedroom
and occasionally we see outside my bedroom, but mostly we
just see my bedroom, do you know what I mean? Yeah,
it's it's I have not expanded into my beautiful apartment
that is coming. Obviously I haven't. I don't have Tray's
apartment yet. But you know, I just have like two
walls and a lamp and a bed and a little
(05:10):
bedside table and at one picture of this woman falling
through water. It's kind of a dark, interesting image. Anyway,
I'm there, Nicole is there? This dude is there. I've
never met this guy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It's word he wasn't at the table reader.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I don't think he was. I mean, if he was,
I don't remember. It's possible that he was. Sometimes they
wouldn't have been cast yet.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Got you, so somebody else would do his read right, like.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
We would usually have a reader, a male reader and
a female reader for any parts that weren't cast yet.
And also Michael Patrick usually reads the stage directions, which
is adorable. So the guys there and Nicole Nicole, her
only direction for him is like shout louder louder, really
(05:56):
shout it in her face, and I'm like, oh my god, Nicole,
it is back enough, like why and so he's just
shout just so loud, oh my god, like literally just right,
like used to.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
King bitching horror over and over again for how many hours?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean probably not that long, Like I'd say a
couple hours for him and then a couple hours for me,
you know, like long enough, let's put it that way.
Then we go to lunch. He asks me if his
girlfriend can come to lunch, and I'm like, uh no,
because I'm finished, so maybe she could watch for the
rest of the day. I'm like, yeah, no, no, because
(06:36):
when we're doing a bedroom scene, it's a closed set, right,
so like no extra people can can come. And also
I wasn't done acting jardy be. So we go to lunch,
we come back, I'm so cranky, right, super cranky, and
uh we come back and it's on me and the
camera's like, you know, right, my face and Nicole's like,
make bigger faces. My god, Nicole, I mean every time
(07:02):
I see her a reminder of this. She doesn't remember,
but you know that was her direction for both of us,
was like bigger, Like everyone just thought this was so funny.
I don't really want this well funny.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Wait now I'm trying to think if your face. I
feel like your face was very like upset, prutty Charlotte,
you know what I mean. It wasn't like like it
was it supposed to be crazy or like were you
supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Like like I have no idea what she wanted?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Like you were like off put of course.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, yes, I mean I was unclear myself on what
she wanted, you know what I mean, Like what what face?
How big of a face can I make? Like in
bed with the dude shouting at it, like I don't,
I don't know, So I uh, That's really all I
could think about when I was watching it. I still
feel I still feel like I am in that moment
(07:51):
when I'm watching it. Yeah, yeah, because it is strange.
I've never really had that happen to me in life,
thank god, because I would be out of there.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Okay, Well, I was thinking about it when I was watching.
I was like, Okay, like people for sure have that right.
People like to be gaps, people like to be called names,
like it's not it's it's like pretty, I'm assuming normal,
and everyone has their like bedroom preferences. But usually I
think the whole vibe, uh you know, especially today is
(08:23):
like you got to.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Talk about it right in the agreement.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You have to like write you have to you have
to like kink it out, talk about it, have the
have the other person be down or not or whatever.
But here was this special situation that I feel like
maybe is a little fantastical, which is that he didn't
know he was doing it, I.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Know, which is super interesting. And I didn't remember that either.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, where he didn't know he was doing it and like,
which was sweet. Then when he tried not to do it,
like it was sweet.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, and it was sweet at the dinner. I hadn't
remembered the dinner either. I didn't really know. I remember
the scene where I'm the coffee shop scene where you know,
they're like.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And I'm like, oh, well, you know, and I flashback,
you know, I remember that, and I remember just thinking,
like I remember feeling me Kristen, that I would have
been This was one of the times where I kind
of felt like I would have been more angry. But
this is also the time where they would always say
(09:27):
to me like, Charlotte does not get angry, and I
would just be like, why you guys, Like who doesn't
get angry? And why wouldn't Charlotte, who literally has like
the most lofty ideals, right, like her idea of romance
and all of the things that she wants are so
specific and beautifully etched in her own mind, Why wouldn't
(09:50):
she be angry when things don't live up to that,
you know?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It took me a good good I think it was
only after the marriage and starting to fall apart that
they would be like, Okay, now you can get angry.
And I just be like, thank God, people, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
But does it make sense to you in retrospect, Like why?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I get it in some ways in that like she
Charlotte is very different from the other girls, right, and
so it's trying to kind of etch out each character's
kind of area, you know, And Miranda is kind of
I don't know if angry is the right word. It's
kind of a simple word to use for her, but
you know, definitely much more quick to be like you
(10:31):
did no, no, no, And I get that Charlotte's not
going to be I guess there was an innocence that
they wanted. Maybe you know that I that I maybe
Kristen didn't have, right, So that was a way to
kind of go towards that kind of an innocent reaction
as opposed to like, how dare you?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
But I would be much more like what the liked?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
What is that? You know?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I would call them on it, I think right away,
because I it would just be strange, right, But they
there's an innocence, and I guess it was a way
to get to the innocence and stay in the innocence.
I guess. But sometimes when I look back on it,
I do feel like there could have been like a
wider range of yeah, I get you, yeah, but I'm nitpicking.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I have a question about the sex scenes. Yeah, like,
because this is technical, was it technical? Was there an
intimacy coordinator?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Definitely?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
No, we did not have them, but like there were
sex scenes like with this guy, which I don't know,
like like we're not meant to see this crazy chemistry
right with you and him. It's literally just like this
kind of vibe, Like that's what we're saying, right, So, like,
were those like choices because obviously there are you know,
(12:03):
people that you have chemistry with where I remember that
Charlotte gets on top sometimes she's like feeling herself like I.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Mean, god, right, I thought about that watching this, I'm like, God,
this is just the most boring sexent ever.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Right, So that's what I wondered about too. I was like,
I wonder if it's like they're the guys that because
she doesn't even look like she's enjoying it, you know,
not at all, not at all. If she was enjoying it,
then like call me a name, like let's say that's what.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, maybe she does try a lot of stuff, but
not that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
So like, whould she Why would she be into it
if she's just like being like literally just pounded with
no vibes.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I know with you, I'm with you one hundred percent.
It was I think a challenge of the show. Right,
And again, this comes back to the abc D storylines.
So when you're thinking about that, you know, really economical
use of the time of the show. Right, We've got
this very kind of in depth storyline with Aiden without sex, right,
like so much incredible kissing, as you appropriately said, like
(13:08):
it's so good to watch them kiss, you know, and
there's a lot of kind of quiet moments with them
and everything. Then we've got the Samantha storyline, which really,
if you think about it, is told very succinctly, you know,
but also really interesting moments of her being silent and
feeling that judgment in the elevator, right, but really quick.
Then we've got more time happening with Steven Miranda, which
(13:30):
is needed. Right, She's got to go through her her
body count list, she's got to discuss chlamydia with them now, yes,
go to the director, she's got to call the guys.
Steve's got to have his whole like you know, I'm
cute and I'm a born tender moment. Like, there's a
lot it's pretty in depth, right. So that means Charlotte,
they're not going to have time, you know what I mean.
And there were scenes in the past before this, and
(13:52):
it was part of the reason I was so thankful.
I knew at this point that Trey was coming, you know,
that I was like on the way to get adding
what Charlotte thought she wanted, you know, And there were
a lot of guys that had to come come on
that road, as we know. And there were sometimes where
I would have a sex scene that was kind of
(14:14):
like but a bump, you know, like a joke, you know,
like I remember with the widow guy, the guy that
I hit with the flowers in the funeral, you know,
at the funeral, that sex scene was like so sick
and nothing, and the camera just pans by us and
she's got a voiceover that connects it, like it's such
a laugh thing. And I hate it do to do those.
(14:37):
I mean, I think everyone hates to do those, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Like they're just like gratuitous and it doesn't have like
a play.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I mean, it's hard to say gratuitous in our show, right,
which is called Sex and the City, right, Like, we
know that it's part of it, and we know that
it's part of the storytelling that you have to show
the just the basic and that there's maybe some other other,
you know, thing that's coming, like I think with Charlotte,
we don't have time to really investigate this, like I said,
(15:05):
because it's the other characters that are taking time, and
I know that it's a stop on the way, and
I feel like they were trying to show all of
the crazy things that could happen on the way that
you're looking for the person, right, and then you finally
find the person, You're like, oh, thank god. You know,
like she'd been through a lot, you know, it was
a lot of pies in the face type situation, right,
which is true for all all of our characters, right,
(15:26):
Like we always were having that was part of the gig, right,
that you would have to have those embarrassing moments. But
I never really necessarily enjoyed that, you know. Yeah, I
don't know that any of us did. I don't want
to speak for the others, but like that's it's a
little bit hard to do. Yeah, But I think we
understood the bigger point, right, which is like you're we're
(15:48):
trying to get somewhere, We're trying to tell these stories.
We're trying to be free about it, you know, like
not precious. But as an actor, it's hard, it's hard sometimes.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
To do that so this was one of them for you.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, I didn't like it. Didn't like it at all.
But also because like I don't even know do that guy?
Do we kiss? I mean, there's there's less required.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Of you for those right right right right, just to
be like breathed on. I don't love being breathed on.
So I always wonder about that, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I know, like there's a lot of things you don't
think about, you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Know, I think about it.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I just had Brittany Snow on the show and she
did Hunting Wise with Colin and they were so good. Yeah. Yeah.
So she literally said they got sick from too many
breath mens because they're because they're because they're women, and
(16:46):
it's true. We care to like smell true people, pleasey
and whatever. She said that both of them were oding
on mints to the point where they got like physically ill,
because I was like, I want to smell for you
and I want to you know what I mean, They're like, no,
stop eating mints.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I had our camera crew had a box of mints
on the front of their camera so like the camera
would be very close, right, and so there's just like
altoids were like right there because that's how much we
needed them.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I mean, did you have experiences with even like guest
actors like this guy breathing on you where you were
like or did they od on Mint because they I don't.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Remember if this guy odd on Mint, because all I
remember was just like really just being like, get me
out of here. And I'm sorry, it's not really professional
that I'm saying that, but it is the truth at
the time, especially, and I still remember it because I
never liked the storyline and then everyone liked it but me,
(17:47):
you know what I mean. It was just one of
those awkward things, and I remember, I can't remember. I
mean I do I remember another guy early on in
the show, because it was very much a role reversal
that the guys would kind of come through as the
girlfriend type parts, right, like that a guy would just
show up on set and you're just in bed with them,
(18:09):
like that's not a normal guy part, do you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Right? Right? Or right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So they would be just a little thrown off, like
how do I do this? And we would have to
try to make it okay and whatever, and I would
do my best and then sometimes I just didn't do
that well and this would be one of them. And
then the widower storyline that was a whole long storyline.
So it wasn't like Kurt Kurt that actor. I was
not upset with Kurt. I just didn't love that one
sex scene. And I think I had to come in
(18:34):
at like eleven PM to film it also, So I
was cranky about that.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You know, I don't believe you remember that. I remember
when stuff really you remember, like what time you had
to kinda.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Well, because that was mad about it, and because also
they had It's one of those scenes like if you
have a scene that they can move, they'll move it,
like like your schedule chains. As many times, I don't
know how many, I'm sure you go through this with
scheduling actors, Like you think you have the day off,
and then you don't have the day off because they're
moving your scene around. It's like the end of the
day thing, where like they might have filmed a whole
(19:07):
nother day. Like let's say they'll film with Sarah all day,
and then they have got to do her turnaround right
for her hours, so they'll send her home and they'll
bring someone else in to film, say the sex scene
with Kurt. Because it's just one scene and you maybe
don't have to work in the morning. Are you following me?
So it's like pieces and puzzles that they're moving around,
(19:30):
But it doesn't necessarily make it easy on the other
actor who has to come in at eleven PM or whatever,
right to shoot like a eh, sex scene and you.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Can't be like I can't because that's like the only
thing that you're doing at that time is the show.
So you're available whenever they need you.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well, they own you, they own you. And also like
in our world, I mean, you really have to think about,
you know, the group, like you are part of a group,
and the group is important and the production is important.
You know, you have to be a team player or
that's not great, you know what I mean, Like it's important.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I think I think that it's nice for people to
know because we see the glam side of what acting
is and like the red carpets and the and the
fancy stuff, right, and I think that a lot of
people don't know that it's like it's it's you know,
it's a hard job, like yes, no, yes, but like
(20:33):
if you're filming out in the cold, you're filming out
the cold.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You're cold and you can't you can't wear different clothes.
It's like it's.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's not like you're because you're Kristin Davis. You're not
going to be cold like you and the drops are
boat out in the cold like, and the hours I
mean seven a year. I mean you're not coal mining,
I know, but you're also not like you know, I.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Think it seems very coddled, and it's not necessarily very caddled.
That's really your point, and I think that is valid.
I mean, I think it's still you know, a crazy
fantasy job to have, right like, and there's so many
amazing things about it. And for all of us, you know,
we live, you know, to act right like, that's what
we feel passionate about, and that's really the key to everything.
(21:19):
As you were saying about your own you know what
you've created, like you you created it because you loved it,
right Yeah, So you will do you will do all
of those things. And I think as actors, I mean,
I don't know if this is still true today, but
certainly when I was coming up, you didn't expect to
be coddled, you know, like, like all of that was
kind of surprising in a way, like all of us,
(21:41):
I think thought we were going to do plays, and
you know, you're doing eight shows a week, and it's like,
you know hard, you know what I'm saying, Like, like
theater is is you know, you're you're out there alone.
You got to perform, You're not there's no coddling. It's
not possible to coddle you in theater right in a way.
But then I think when you get film jobs or
(22:02):
TV jobs, you're just like whoa what, you know, like
the excitement part is so much that you're you're just
like I'm gonna I'm gonna save every moment. And then
after a while it does get to be like, wow,
my knees are shaking, I'm freezing. Uh, could we get
a space theater? But also I think that's back to
(22:26):
what we talked about a little bit too in the beginning,
is that you know, in the beginning of the show,
we didn't want we didn't want to take the fantasy away,
and so we like people say like, oh, it must
be so much fun the clothes and you know, you're
walking down the street and it was right, but also
like we're walking down the street at five am and
people are screaming at us from cars and we're freezing
(22:49):
and you can see our breath, but you're not supposed
to see our breath because it's supposed to be summer,
and so we're you know, like weird things, right, like
weird physical The physical reality of filming the show was
sometimes hard, but we always felt like we should, you know,
protect protect that that the viewers didn't necessarily need need
to know that. But now we kind of can't write
(23:09):
like the I think everyone knows so much more. But
I also feel I also feel like I want people
to just be able to escape into the show and
love it, you know, right, and not think about all
the things I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think mostly people don't like I feel like with
Sex and the City, people are more thinking, like character wise,
like is this cringe? Is this not cringe? Like you know,
it's just happening today, is it not. That's more of
what I'm saying. So luckily they don't they're not into
like that those small side.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I agree, I agree, and I think for me rewatching,
I definitely feel pulled in, you know, to the storyline
in a way that I don't even know if I was.
I mean, I certainly watched the show when we made it,
but it would be like a rough cut that I
would see on a VHS tape, you know, before it
aired on and I probably would not watch it on HBO,
(24:03):
I don't think unless someone invited me over or something,
you know what I mean, like a friend. But I didn't.
I didn't. I wasn't able to look at it objectively
at the time. You know.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Wow, So that's probably so nice for you now, like
so cathartic now.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh yeah, I mean I don't know if it's cathartic necessarily.
It's more just like amazing. I feel very very you know,
just odd every time I see things that I didn't
see before, and all the details of the work and
the writing and the production and the clothes and the
(24:40):
I mean, there's so I get to enjoy it like
a viewer, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
What we didn't talk about is the overall theme, like
are we sluts? It's a good question, I think, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And men who had a lot of sexual partners are
called romantic slash good kissers and rights and women are
called sluts.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Right, that is not fair or good?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But is that still happening? That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I feel like in the hookup culture of today, it
might not be, but I don't know if I know.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
So here's what I would base my answer off of.
Is like a Love Island Okay, yeah, I've never seen it,
tell me. Okay, so that's a dating show where they're
all like in bikinis and on an island whatever. Right.
I feel like they talk about body count and this
is like you know, and they talk about body count.
They all say their numbers, and I don't think that
(25:45):
it's there's like bias there in the Love Island world,
which yeah, they talk freely like what's your body count?
Like they have challenges like it's a whole thing. Wow,
and that's you know, but it's the new you know,
kind of generation of being super open, super out there
(26:06):
and like not giving a I wonder though, do people
ask Do people even ask? Like if you like, that's
something you ask like when you're in a relationship, I
think so too. I don't know, And then it's just
like of interest, like oh wait, like how many girls
you know? People do ask on first dates? I know
from friends, like people do want to know about past relationships,
(26:26):
but past sex, Like, right, what does that matter.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
You know, I don't think it does. I don't think
I don't I know what I mean. No one's asked
me in a long time, like how many guys, Like
why why would.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
You ask that?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Totally, yes, I think that would be uh a red
flag if someone asked that early on, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
There would be a red flag. But I kind of
love how in the show that question is posed because
at that time women would probably be called sluts.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
For her, definitely, definitely, But you.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Girls were owning it, and even Charlotte, in her prudy way,
was getting down like she wasn't not having the sex,
even though she was like she wanted to call it
making love and whatever the hell, but like she was
still doing it.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Oh yeah. You know at the end of the show,
the first show, we made a book called Kiss and Tell,
And on the last page of Kiss and Tell is
like a timeline with the guys. So each character has
all the guys they had sex with and guess who
had the most?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You did?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Wait, this book was like what went between you guys?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
It was like, no, it was a book in the
world that you could buy.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Really, it's a very cool book.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, I don't know if it's still in print or not,
we should find one. It's a great book. It's got
like it was in you know, obviously merch is like
a whole thing now right where you know, there's merch
to do with everything, but back in the day it
wasn't so much so. And we also were on HBO, right,
so we weren't trying to like put out T shirts
and stuff like that, you know. But this book was
(28:11):
really beautiful. Sarah was involved with it. It had like
pink Foux alligator and it said kiss and tell on it.
And it had a bunch of you know, kind of
beautiful pr stills, but also some behind the scenes stuff.
It had a section about a section for each character,
like chapter, and then I think there's a chapter on
(28:34):
costumes maybe, or you know, different things.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
It was.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It was kind of innocent in a kind of adorable.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Way, and they all had a most Yeah, crazy. I
was shocked, like more than Samantha.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I know, I was shocked. I don't know how it happened.
I don't know how it happened.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
We have to go and count guys, we have to
find the book. We definitely we have to verify this information.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I know, I know the girls would be like, look
you have the mouth. Thank you for being with us.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh my god, yes, thank you, thank you so much
Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are
you a Charlotte? Hello, everybody, welcome back to Are You
a Charlotte? This is part two with Amanda hersh rewatching
are We Sluts? And she is the host of a
not Skinny Button effect. Welcome back, here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So you filmed only your stuff, so all this other
stuff is being filmed. So at the time were you
reading their scenes?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yes, yes, we would get the script. You know, you
get the first script when you're working, you're in the
middle of it. You get the script and it's the
first version. It may not be you know what ends
up being filmed, right, you'd get the script. We would
all like rush home to read it or read it
at lunch or whatever. We'd be so excited, right, like
what's going to happen? Then we would have a read
(00:54):
through with everybody because Michael Patrick's very, very old school,
so he wants to see what jokes work, where the
slow parts are. You know, it's very a performative type
of a readthrough, where like if your jokes don't hit,
they get cut, which I still am trying to explain
to the young actors who played my children and then
just like that, I'm like, you guys have to like perform, okay,
(01:17):
because I don't want your stuff to get cut.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh like you still did that?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, but it grew, It grew
and grew and grew. Like in the olden days. We
would do it in this writer's room upstairs at Silver Cup.
Do you know Silver Cup Studios are, Yeah, so you know,
it's like that old red factory. It's very vertical building.
It's not a normal sound stage, and upstairs is where
the writers were. So we'd go up there at lunch
time we'd be working. We would only have an hour.
(01:42):
We'd go up there. We'd be in this little writer's room.
No one from HBO would come. It was like very
low key, but it was just us, our writers, our
actors reading quick, quick, quick to see what works right.
And then later on there might be the writers would
meet after the read through and discuss what what didn't work,
what stands out to them, what they want to tweak,
(02:03):
you know, or maybe just throw out whole storylines right
like they might. We might. We would time it so
if it was over, a storyline might get cut, yeah,
and then they'd rewrite. So you'd get the next script
and then they might rewrite again before you film it,
so there'd be a little bit of time that you
get to kind of process what your character's doing, and
(02:26):
you might, you know, get to potentially change it. I
remember this read through where this man is shouting you
know you can. I went to Cynthia right when I
got the script and I was like, I do not
like this storyline. I don't want to do it. I
don't like it. She was like, it's hysterical, You've got
(02:46):
to do it. And I was like, no, I don't
like it. I think it's so over the top and
you know, not fair for Charlotte to get to have
to be called these names. Like I was just very
in it. Do you know what I'm saying? Like not
objective at all. And so we go to the read
through and everyone laughs so hard that I'm like, oh, no,
you never have to do it.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
And Nicole Halofsner was directing this episode. Do you know
who she is? No, she's very very cool indie film
writer and director who we're just really lucky that we got.
She also did a lot of parks and rec like
at the time, she she's done all these films with
Emily Mortimer. She had a film which I'm Jennifer Andison.
I can't remember all the names right now, but you
would know them. They're they're very character driven, like intimate films,
(03:33):
you know, very kind of real, very very real. She
was directing. And when we go to do this scene
with this guy whose name I've just blocked out, I'm sorry, actor,
but you know we're filming, and they film his side first, right,
so you know how they you know, they're doing close
ups and whatnot, and we're really really close to each other.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We have like a tiny set, like you have to
be there. Oh, we're in if they're not, because they're not.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Never we never aren't there. You know what I'm saying.
We would never do that. We would never do that.
That's like not cool on that. That's like yeah, and
like not nice to the actors, you know what I'm
saying the other actors, right, not cool. And also because
in a bed scene, your your shoulder, you're you're you know,
you're physically so close that that would pretty much be
(04:25):
impossible to film without you know, both people, right, So
for some reason, they do his side first, which is
not also totally cool, like you're supposed to do the
people who are in the show all the time first,
because like when you're fresh or whatever. But obviously I'm
just reacting to him, you know. And I think it
had to do with how I think at this point
Charlotte does not have an entire apartment still. I have
(04:49):
like two walls that they would move from my bedroom
and occasionally we see outside my bedroom, but mostly we
just see my bedroom, do you know what I mean? Yeah,
it's it's I have not expanded into my beautiful apartment
that is coming. Obviously I haven't. I don't have Tray's
apartment yet. But you know, I just have like two
walls and a lamp and a bed and a little
(05:10):
bedside table and at one picture of this woman falling
through water. It's kind of a dark, interesting image. Anyway,
I'm there, Nicole is there? This dude is there. I've
never met this guy, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
It's word he wasn't at the table reader.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I don't think he was. I mean, if he was,
I don't remember. It's possible that he was. Sometimes they
wouldn't have been cast yet.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Got you, so somebody else would do his read right, like.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
We would usually have a reader, a male reader and
a female reader for any parts that weren't cast yet.
And also Michael Patrick usually reads the stage directions, which
is adorable. So the guys there and Nicole Nicole, her
only direction for him is like shout louder louder, really
(05:56):
shout it in her face, and I'm like, oh my god, Nicole,
it is back enough, like why and so he's just
shout just so loud, oh my god, like literally just right,
like used to.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
King bitching horror over and over again for how many hours?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean probably not that long, Like I'd say a
couple hours for him and then a couple hours for me,
you know, like long enough, let's put it that way.
Then we go to lunch. He asks me if his
girlfriend can come to lunch, and I'm like, uh no,
because I'm finished, so maybe she could watch for the
rest of the day. I'm like, yeah, no, no, because
(06:36):
when we're doing a bedroom scene, it's a closed set, right,
so like no extra people can can come. And also
I wasn't done acting jardy be. So we go to lunch,
we come back, I'm so cranky, right, super cranky, and
uh we come back and it's on me and the
camera's like, you know, right, my face and Nicole's like,
make bigger faces. My god, Nicole, I mean every time
(07:02):
I see her a reminder of this. She doesn't remember,
but you know that was her direction for both of us,
was like bigger, Like everyone just thought this was so funny.
I don't really want this well funny.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Wait now I'm trying to think if your face. I
feel like your face was very like upset, prutty Charlotte,
you know what I mean. It wasn't like like it
was it supposed to be crazy or like were you
supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Like like I have no idea what she wanted?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Like you were like off put of course.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, yes, I mean I was unclear myself on what
she wanted, you know what I mean, Like what what face?
How big of a face can I make? Like in
bed with the dude shouting at it, like I don't,
I don't know, So I uh, That's really all I
could think about when I was watching it. I still
feel I still feel like I am in that moment
(07:51):
when I'm watching it. Yeah, yeah, because it is strange.
I've never really had that happen to me in life,
thank god, because I would be out of there.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Okay, Well, I was thinking about it when I was watching.
I was like, Okay, like people for sure have that right.
People like to be gaps, people like to be called names,
like it's not it's it's like pretty, I'm assuming normal,
and everyone has their like bedroom preferences. But usually I
think the whole vibe, uh you know, especially today is
(08:23):
like you got to.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Talk about it right in the agreement.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You have to like write you have to you have
to like kink it out, talk about it, have the
have the other person be down or not or whatever.
But here was this special situation that I feel like
maybe is a little fantastical, which is that he didn't
know he was doing it, I.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Know, which is super interesting. And I didn't remember that either.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, where he didn't know he was doing it and like,
which was sweet. Then when he tried not to do it,
like it was sweet.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Yeah, and it was sweet at the dinner. I hadn't
remembered the dinner either. I didn't really know. I remember
the scene where I'm the coffee shop scene where you know,
they're like.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
And I'm like, oh, well, you know, and I flashback,
you know, I remember that, and I remember just thinking,
like I remember feeling me Kristen, that I would have
been This was one of the times where I kind
of felt like I would have been more angry. But
this is also the time where they would always say
(09:27):
to me like, Charlotte does not get angry, and I
would just be like, why you guys, Like who doesn't
get angry? And why wouldn't Charlotte, who literally has like
the most lofty ideals, right, like her idea of romance
and all of the things that she wants are so
specific and beautifully etched in her own mind, Why wouldn't
(09:50):
she be angry when things don't live up to that,
you know?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
It took me a good good I think it was
only after the marriage and starting to fall apart that
they would be like, Okay, now you can get angry.
And I just be like, thank God, people, Jesus.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
But does it make sense to you in retrospect, Like why?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I get it in some ways in that like she
Charlotte is very different from the other girls, right, and
so it's trying to kind of etch out each character's
kind of area, you know, And Miranda is kind of
I don't know if angry is the right word. It's
kind of a simple word to use for her, but
you know, definitely much more quick to be like you
(10:31):
did no, no, no, And I get that Charlotte's not
going to be I guess there was an innocence that
they wanted. Maybe you know that I that I maybe
Kristen didn't have, right, So that was a way to
kind of go towards that kind of an innocent reaction
as opposed to like, how dare you?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
But I would be much more like what the liked?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
What is that? You know?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I would call them on it, I think right away,
because I it would just be strange, right, But they
there's an innocence, and I guess it was a way
to get to the innocence and stay in the innocence.
I guess. But sometimes when I look back on it,
I do feel like there could have been like a
wider range of yeah, I get you, yeah, but I'm nitpicking.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
I have a question about the sex scenes. Yeah, like,
because this is technical, was it technical? Was there an
intimacy coordinator?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Definitely?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
No, we did not have them, but like there were
sex scenes like with this guy, which I don't know,
like like we're not meant to see this crazy chemistry
right with you and him. It's literally just like this
kind of vibe, Like that's what we're saying, right, So, like,
were those like choices because obviously there are you know,
(12:03):
people that you have chemistry with where I remember that
Charlotte gets on top sometimes she's like feeling herself like I.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Mean, god, right, I thought about that watching this, I'm like, God,
this is just the most boring sexent ever.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Right, So that's what I wondered about too. I was like,
I wonder if it's like they're the guys that because
she doesn't even look like she's enjoying it, you know,
not at all, not at all. If she was enjoying it,
then like call me a name, like let's say that's what.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, maybe she does try a lot of stuff, but
not that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
So like, whould she Why would she be into it
if she's just like being like literally just pounded with
no vibes.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I know with you, I'm with you one hundred percent.
It was I think a challenge of the show. Right,
And again, this comes back to the abc D storylines.
So when you're thinking about that, you know, really economical
use of the time of the show. Right, We've got
this very kind of in depth storyline with Aiden without sex, right,
like so much incredible kissing, as you appropriately said, like
(13:08):
it's so good to watch them kiss, you know, and
there's a lot of kind of quiet moments with them
and everything. Then we've got the Samantha storyline, which really,
if you think about it, is told very succinctly, you know,
but also really interesting moments of her being silent and
feeling that judgment in the elevator, right, but really quick.
Then we've got more time happening with Steven Miranda, which
(13:30):
is needed. Right, She's got to go through her her
body count list, she's got to discuss chlamydia with them now, yes,
go to the director, she's got to call the guys.
Steve's got to have his whole like you know, I'm
cute and I'm a born tender moment. Like, there's a
lot it's pretty in depth, right. So that means Charlotte,
they're not going to have time, you know what I mean.
And there were scenes in the past before this, and
(13:52):
it was part of the reason I was so thankful.
I knew at this point that Trey was coming, you know,
that I was like on the way to get adding
what Charlotte thought she wanted, you know, And there were
a lot of guys that had to come come on
that road, as we know. And there were sometimes where
I would have a sex scene that was kind of
(14:14):
like but a bump, you know, like a joke, you know,
like I remember with the widow guy, the guy that
I hit with the flowers in the funeral, you know,
at the funeral, that sex scene was like so sick
and nothing, and the camera just pans by us and
she's got a voiceover that connects it, like it's such
a laugh thing. And I hate it do to do those.
(14:37):
I mean, I think everyone hates to do those, you know.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Like they're just like gratuitous and it doesn't have like
a play.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I mean, it's hard to say gratuitous in our show, right,
which is called Sex and the City, right, Like, we
know that it's part of it, and we know that
it's part of the storytelling that you have to show
the just the basic and that there's maybe some other other,
you know, thing that's coming, like I think with Charlotte,
we don't have time to really investigate this, like I said,
(15:05):
because it's the other characters that are taking time, and
I know that it's a stop on the way, and
I feel like they were trying to show all of
the crazy things that could happen on the way that
you're looking for the person, right, and then you finally
find the person, You're like, oh, thank god. You know,
like she'd been through a lot, you know, it was
a lot of pies in the face type situation, right,
which is true for all all of our characters, right,
(15:26):
Like we always were having that was part of the gig, right,
that you would have to have those embarrassing moments. But
I never really necessarily enjoyed that, you know. Yeah, I
don't know that any of us did. I don't want
to speak for the others, but like that's it's a
little bit hard to do. Yeah, But I think we
understood the bigger point, right, which is like you're we're
(15:48):
trying to get somewhere, We're trying to tell these stories.
We're trying to be free about it, you know, like
not precious. But as an actor, it's hard, it's hard sometimes.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
To do that so this was one of them for you.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, I didn't like it. Didn't like it at all.
But also because like I don't even know do that guy?
Do we kiss? I mean, there's there's less required.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Of you for those right right right right, just to
be like breathed on. I don't love being breathed on.
So I always wonder about that, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I know, like there's a lot of things you don't
think about, you.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Know, I think about it.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I just had Brittany Snow on the show and she
did Hunting Wise with Colin and they were so good. Yeah. Yeah.
So she literally said they got sick from too many
breath mens because they're because they're because they're women, and
(16:46):
it's true. We care to like smell true people, pleasey
and whatever. She said that both of them were oding
on mints to the point where they got like physically ill,
because I was like, I want to smell for you
and I want to you know what I mean, They're like, no,
stop eating mints.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I had our camera crew had a box of mints
on the front of their camera so like the camera
would be very close, right, and so there's just like
altoids were like right there because that's how much we
needed them.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I mean, did you have experiences with even like guest
actors like this guy breathing on you where you were
like or did they od on Mint because they I don't.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Remember if this guy odd on Mint, because all I
remember was just like really just being like, get me
out of here. And I'm sorry, it's not really professional
that I'm saying that, but it is the truth at
the time, especially, and I still remember it because I
never liked the storyline and then everyone liked it but me,
(17:47):
you know what I mean. It was just one of
those awkward things, and I remember, I can't remember. I
mean I do I remember another guy early on in
the show, because it was very much a role reversal
that the guys would kind of come through as the
girlfriend type parts, right, like that a guy would just
show up on set and you're just in bed with them,
(18:09):
like that's not a normal guy part, do you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Right? Right? Or right? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
So they would be just a little thrown off, like
how do I do this? And we would have to
try to make it okay and whatever, and I would
do my best and then sometimes I just didn't do
that well and this would be one of them. And
then the widower storyline that was a whole long storyline.
So it wasn't like Kurt Kurt that actor. I was
not upset with Kurt. I just didn't love that one
sex scene. And I think I had to come in
(18:34):
at like eleven PM to film it also, So I
was cranky about that.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You know, I don't believe you remember that. I remember
when stuff really you remember, like what time you had
to kinda.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Well, because that was mad about it, and because also
they had It's one of those scenes like if you
have a scene that they can move, they'll move it,
like like your schedule chains. As many times, I don't
know how many, I'm sure you go through this with
scheduling actors, Like you think you have the day off,
and then you don't have the day off because they're
moving your scene around. It's like the end of the
day thing, where like they might have filmed a whole
(19:07):
nother day. Like let's say they'll film with Sarah all day,
and then they have got to do her turnaround right
for her hours, so they'll send her home and they'll
bring someone else in to film, say the sex scene
with Kurt. Because it's just one scene and you maybe
don't have to work in the morning. Are you following me?
So it's like pieces and puzzles that they're moving around,
(19:30):
But it doesn't necessarily make it easy on the other
actor who has to come in at eleven PM or whatever,
right to shoot like a eh, sex scene and you.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Can't be like I can't because that's like the only
thing that you're doing at that time is the show.
So you're available whenever they need you.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Well, they own you, they own you. And also like
in our world, I mean, you really have to think about,
you know, the group, like you are part of a group,
and the group is important and the production is important.
You know, you have to be a team player or
that's not great, you know what I mean, Like it's important.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I think I think that it's nice for people to
know because we see the glam side of what acting
is and like the red carpets and the and the
fancy stuff, right, and I think that a lot of
people don't know that it's like it's it's you know,
it's a hard job, like yes, no, yes, but like
(20:33):
if you're filming out in the cold, you're filming out
the cold.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
You're cold and you can't you can't wear different clothes.
It's like it's.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's not like you're because you're Kristin Davis. You're not
going to be cold like you and the drops are
boat out in the cold like, and the hours I
mean seven a year. I mean you're not coal mining,
I know, but you're also not like you know, I.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Think it seems very coddled, and it's not necessarily very caddled.
That's really your point, and I think that is valid.
I mean, I think it's still you know, a crazy
fantasy job to have, right like, and there's so many
amazing things about it. And for all of us, you know,
we live, you know, to act right like, that's what
we feel passionate about, and that's really the key to everything.
(21:19):
As you were saying about your own you know what
you've created, like you you created it because you loved it,
right Yeah, So you will do you will do all
of those things. And I think as actors, I mean,
I don't know if this is still true today, but
certainly when I was coming up, you didn't expect to
be coddled, you know, like, like all of that was
kind of surprising in a way, like all of us,
(21:41):
I think thought we were going to do plays, and
you know, you're doing eight shows a week, and it's like,
you know hard, you know what I'm saying, Like, like
theater is is you know, you're you're out there alone.
You got to perform, You're not there's no coddling. It's
not possible to coddle you in theater right in a way.
But then I think when you get film jobs or
(22:02):
TV jobs, you're just like whoa what, you know, like
the excitement part is so much that you're you're just
like I'm gonna I'm gonna save every moment. And then
after a while it does get to be like, wow,
my knees are shaking, I'm freezing. Uh, could we get
a space theater? But also I think that's back to
(22:26):
what we talked about a little bit too in the beginning,
is that you know, in the beginning of the show,
we didn't want we didn't want to take the fantasy away,
and so we like people say like, oh, it must
be so much fun the clothes and you know, you're
walking down the street and it was right, but also
like we're walking down the street at five am and
people are screaming at us from cars and we're freezing
(22:49):
and you can see our breath, but you're not supposed
to see our breath because it's supposed to be summer,
and so we're you know, like weird things, right, like
weird physical The physical reality of filming the show was
sometimes hard, but we always felt like we should, you know,
protect protect that that the viewers didn't necessarily need need
to know that. But now we kind of can't write
(23:09):
like the I think everyone knows so much more. But
I also feel I also feel like I want people
to just be able to escape into the show and
love it, you know, right, and not think about all
the things I'm telling you.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think mostly people don't like I feel like with
Sex and the City, people are more thinking, like character wise,
like is this cringe? Is this not cringe? Like you know,
it's just happening today, is it not. That's more of
what I'm saying. So luckily they don't they're not into
like that those small side.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I agree, I agree, and I think for me rewatching,
I definitely feel pulled in, you know, to the storyline
in a way that I don't even know if I was.
I mean, I certainly watched the show when we made it,
but it would be like a rough cut that I
would see on a VHS tape, you know, before it
aired on and I probably would not watch it on HBO,
(24:03):
I don't think unless someone invited me over or something,
you know what I mean, like a friend. But I didn't.
I didn't. I wasn't able to look at it objectively
at the time. You know.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Wow, So that's probably so nice for you now, like
so cathartic now.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Oh yeah, I mean I don't know if it's cathartic necessarily.
It's more just like amazing. I feel very very you know,
just odd every time I see things that I didn't
see before, and all the details of the work and
the writing and the production and the clothes and the
(24:40):
I mean, there's so I get to enjoy it like
a viewer, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
What we didn't talk about is the overall theme, like
are we sluts? It's a good question, I think, I know.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And men who had a lot of sexual partners are
called romantic slash good kissers and rights and women are
called sluts.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Right, that is not fair or good?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
But is that still happening? That's a good question.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I feel like in the hookup culture of today, it
might not be, but I don't know if I know.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
So here's what I would base my answer off of.
Is like a Love Island Okay, yeah, I've never seen it,
tell me. Okay, so that's a dating show where they're
all like in bikinis and on an island whatever. Right.
I feel like they talk about body count and this
is like you know, and they talk about body count.
They all say their numbers, and I don't think that
(25:45):
it's there's like bias there in the Love Island world,
which yeah, they talk freely like what's your body count?
Like they have challenges like it's a whole thing. Wow,
and that's you know, but it's the new you know,
kind of generation of being super open, super out there
(26:06):
and like not giving a I wonder though, do people
ask Do people even ask? Like if you like, that's
something you ask like when you're in a relationship, I
think so too. I don't know, And then it's just
like of interest, like oh wait, like how many girls
you know? People do ask on first dates? I know
from friends, like people do want to know about past relationships,
(26:26):
but past sex, Like, right, what does that matter.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
You know, I don't think it does. I don't think
I don't I know what I mean. No one's asked
me in a long time, like how many guys, Like
why why would.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
You ask that?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Totally, yes, I think that would be uh a red
flag if someone asked that early on, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
There would be a red flag. But I kind of
love how in the show that question is posed because
at that time women would probably be called sluts.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
For her, definitely, definitely, But you.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Girls were owning it, and even Charlotte, in her prudy way,
was getting down like she wasn't not having the sex,
even though she was like she wanted to call it
making love and whatever the hell, but like she was
still doing it.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Oh yeah. You know at the end of the show,
the first show, we made a book called Kiss and Tell,
And on the last page of Kiss and Tell is
like a timeline with the guys. So each character has
all the guys they had sex with and guess who
had the most?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
You did?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Wait, this book was like what went between you guys?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
It was like, no, it was a book in the
world that you could buy.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Really, it's a very cool book.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Yeah, I don't know if it's still in print or not,
we should find one. It's a great book. It's got
like it was in you know, obviously merch is like
a whole thing now right where you know, there's merch
to do with everything, but back in the day it
wasn't so much so. And we also were on HBO, right,
so we weren't trying to like put out T shirts
and stuff like that, you know. But this book was
(28:11):
really beautiful. Sarah was involved with it. It had like
pink Foux alligator and it said kiss and tell on it.
And it had a bunch of you know, kind of
beautiful pr stills, but also some behind the scenes stuff.
It had a section about a section for each character,
like chapter, and then I think there's a chapter on
(28:34):
costumes maybe, or you know, different things.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
It was.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
It was kind of innocent in a kind of adorable.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Way, and they all had a most Yeah, crazy. I
was shocked, like more than Samantha.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
I know, I was shocked. I don't know how it happened.
I don't know how it happened.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
We have to go and count guys, we have to
find the book. We definitely we have to verify this information.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
I know, I know the girls would be like, look
you have the mouth. Thank you for being with us.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Oh my god, yes, thank you, thank you so much
