If you ask most millennial actors who are what it
was that inspired them to follow a career into TV
and filmmaking, you probably named a nineties TV show, movie,
or star, but not Elizabeth Olson.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Right.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
For her, it was one of the biggest icons from
Hollywood's Golden Age. She tells RDY grown up, I was
so in love with Frank Sinatra. I wanted to play
opposite Frank my whole life. That's what really got me
to learn how to sing and dance and perform because
I wanted to be in a musical with him as
a little girl so badly. That was all my make believe.
It was me dreaming of working with him. The words
of Elizabeth Olson, Love and Death. She's in it on
HBO Max.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
