WTF has Kristin Davis done to her face?

Andrew Hansen |

She is looking like fat Liz Taylor more everyday.

And LOL at Sarah Jessica Parker calling in to ask a Question about SATC. That woman is obsessed with that show and movie. LET IT GO ALREADY SJP. ITS OVER.

I bet she is the one that made those questions for Andy to ask.

Kristen really is so much like Charlotte, so very little acting involved. Kim actually did the most impressive actual acting on that show, given her character is not like the actress.

Cynthia Nixon had the most horrible clothes (and hair) by far, as well as humiliating storylines, eg, baby poop and projectile semen on her face. The producers must have hated her.

Too much fillers. Fillers can do wonders but they should only take the edge off. It should be a very slight improvement but not a "correction" of the perceived flaw. Women (and men) should not look younger after fillers - just terrific for whatever age they're at. I think that's the mistake most people use. Give me more, dammit! I want to look 15 years younger!

Only the same sense as the office Karen. And, no, she's quite like Charlotte -- Darren Star, an old friend, created the role for her -- Cattrall is the only one who's in any way different from her character. In real life, Cattrall is more reserved and irreverent. Carrie was supposed to be different but ended up being swallowed whole by SJP.

Fillers arose because of a lot of women who wanted to look young also wanted to look thin. Fillers give the impression of plumpness while keeping a slim figure, theoretically.

Davis has enough fat to not benefit though.

I assume, in part, because Davis knows that's really all she's known for. She needs to keep beating the horse (pardon the pun) as much as SJP.

by Anonymousreply 27November 15, 2019 5:50 PM

When the show was conceived Carrie was supposed to be wry, sardonic, and somewhat cynical. SJP did play the character that way in the early seasons. Think of the early breaking the fourth wall questions to the viewers.

However, as the show went on (and she became a producer) Carrie and SJP seemed to actually merge into one person. Neurotic, twee, inexplicably romantic.

It happened to the show itself to. It started out as a show for gay men, kind of bleak in its worldview, though daringly yet dryly comic at times. Then it gradually became a frau fantasy show.

by Anonymousreply 28November 15, 2019 6:02 PM

There have been a few other good threads about the show and what went wrong (SJP's ego).

The saga now seems forced though. There's no way Charlotte would still be friends with those women in real life. You just know the second she got married and had kids she'd move to Connecticut or the Hamptons and make friends with other soccer moms. If not move to Israel and gleefully support the IDF.

I saw her in the west end production of Fatal Attraction when I was in grad school in London a few years back. The play was a snooze with her in the Anne Archer role. Her body is very much a middle aged, "mom jeans"bod up close. Not bad, but wide hips, average height, average looks. She's just kind of meh. The play was terrible, in case you are dying to know. You need the quick cuts in the movie to build the tension.

Kelly rolled her eyes and said something like "there's more??" Classic Kelly bitch moment.

None of them really had storylines in either of the films -- except Carrie of course. She didn't protest when they gave her that because the alternative was no scene at all. Or probably more screentime for Carrie's wedding dress montage.

They gave Samantha that weight gain scene which I'm sure was SJP's idea solely to embarrass Kim Cattrall.

by Anonymousreply 71November 16, 2019 3:25 PM

I don't blame SJP for hanging onto the SATC for dear life. It was the best job any of the four of them had or will ever have (career wise) and there was a lot to be proud of about that series (the movies not so much). I realize it's cool to hate on SJP, but I don't think it was ever the show's intention to make any of these women, especially Carrie, likable. They were all sort of shallow and narcissistic and flawed like most people. Also, I'm gay and I prefer the show from season 3 onward. I hated that talking to the camera shtick they did in the first season and every episode being about the sexual quirks and fetishes of all of the random guys they fucked. The show may have become more stylized and fashion oriented in the later seasons, but the writing improved along with it.

R72 I agree 100%. Only I like season 4-6 the best, specifically. Those are SJP seasons aka she was the Exec Producer on those, and the show was better. The writing and stories were better and the show went from feeling like a dark comedy to a light hearted show that made you feel good when you watched.

The talking to the camera is actually only in the first four episodes. And while it was natural for the show to become more serialized and mature there's a shift in *tone*, which is mostly what some people criticize.

Is SATC really a source of derision? It may not be "woke" enough for the times we are currently living in, but it's not without merits. For all of the talk of its datedness, I still think overall the show holds up on the strength of the acting and writing (and even the fashion is being mined for inspiration again - Dior saddle bags, Fendi baguettes, etc.) and people still talk about it unlike some of the other more "prestigious" shows of the same era.

While I liked all of SATC, I too preferred seasons 4-6. I still remember season 3 feeling so depressing with the Carrie cheating on Aiden with Big storyline, and was thrilled when season 4 premiered and felt "light hearted" and then every week felt light, funny and more sweet. It was better, IMHO.

It became less about the men the women were fucking and their weird fetishes or behavior, and more about the relationships between the women and their friendship. I liked that.

People that move here end up realizing "oh shit, I can't write a few words a week and afford a beautiful apartment and eat out every meal and wear expensive designer clothing". That is one of the biggest jokes now, how Carrie wrote for a third rate gossip mag but lived this luxurious life. She would not be living the way she was, even in the late 90s when NYC was much cheaper.

I loved how during Jennifer Aniston's speech at The Peoples Choice Awards she thanks the fans for believing in her and all she has done, and for making Friends a show that is still one of the most watched years after it was off the air. She then thanked the fans for believing NYers live in those "big apartments" in NYC, and made a face as if she was saying "none of it was realistic, assholes. The NYC in Friends was make believe."

She probably finds the white people flocking there to live like "Friends" or "SATC" as ridiculous as us Natives do.

I didn't mind a more lighthearted take per se, but it took on a very frau mentality.

SATC is very successful and watched all over the world, still.

It is not a show that can be aired all day everyday like Friends, Seinfeld or The Office because it was not a network series, it was an HBO series for adults that had a lot of cussing, sex and nudity. They edit out the cussing, and nudity but it is still not a show they can air on Nickelodeon at night like the others are.

I remember it used to air on The CW at 11pm and they stopped eventually because they had to edit so much out and not air certain episodes all together... those other shows did not have that problem.

The show is too white, but probably not as much as people think given that it's really only about a narrow stratum of wealthy women who never interact with poor people. Really given how wealthy they all were and that it was set in NYC it should've been much more Jewish.

It was unrealistic even when the show began but they did allude to Carrie not eating and having a lot credit card debt but by the second film it had entered Dynasty-esque fantasy.

by Anonymousreply 92November 16, 2019 4:24 PM

SATC is one of the few shows from the past that I still think is funny and witty, although the women are really shallow (dumping men left and right for small quirks the men have, regardless of whether they are a good fit in other ways). Carrie’s character is the most desperate and self-destructive relationship-wise, though, and she is the most annoying by far.

Added bonus: finding the outfits/hairstyles horrible, which adds to the funny factor. Miranda and her damn Borderline mullet clown hair and CONSTANT red/orange outfits that clashed horribly!

by Anonymousreply 93November 16, 2019 4:34 PM

Well, by the second film she was now married to millionaire Big.

But Carrie was not wealthy, nor was Charlotte or Miranda.

Carrie was a writer for a third rate gossip mag... until she got Vogue in season 5, which paid her like $4 per word. Up until then she would be scraping by, and barely, and needing to work many writing jobs just to eat and pay bills etc.

Charlotte worked for the art gallery and lived in a small apartment until she married Trey, who was filthy rich (from old money). That was her Segway to Park Ave. but otherwise she would be an average Joe in NYC. She was lucky Trey allowed her to keep the apartment.

Miranda was an attorney, but one that lived a modest life by her means, and when Carrie needed money to borrow Miranda did not have much for herself, so that says a lot about her finances (people think all lawyers make bank, many struggle),

Samantha was the only one truly wealthy and by her own account, so the fact she was friends with them shows she was either a good and humble person or just unrealistic.

They would all be brushing shoulders with minorities... and not all minorities in NYC are "poor" r92... and most of the white people in Manhattan are not even American, another thing people can call SATC out for.

Honey, if you live Carrie's brownstone you are wealthy.

The show depicted NYC as all white, and if there was a black person shown, which was almost never, they were always a stereotype of some sort, until Miranda starts dating Blair Underwood late in the series (which was supposed to be a white man but Cynthia Nixon demanded the character be a black man, as she did not believe someone like Miranda would only date white men (like Charlotte), but would be open to dating different types of men she was attracted to, that she found smart and successful etc.

If not for her he would have been white also.

Charlotte dating only white men seemed in character though.

Actually R18 Kristin was asked to audition to the Carrie role, but didn't like it and felt she was more the Charlotte type. She did date Alex R62. Just google the both of them and you will see plenty of photos of them. Now, back to Kristin's face. I don't think she looks bad, but her eyes have always bothered me.

It was Darren Star who asked her to audition.

r112 that is what I am saying. Nixon felt Miranda would be open to dating different types. as opposed to someone like Charlotte, who would very much be a whites only type

In the end they had Charlotte marry a Jew. That is a very bad WASP for you.

Most WASP women will happily marry a rich Jew.

I think it's more realistic than we might want to care to admit. Everything in 2019 shows a group of white friends with a couple of POC thrown in for good measure, but doesn't feel authentic. It's sort of a check the box of inclusion, which is progress, but might not be too realistic. Carrie was the worst character. She's supposed to be cynical and jaded - she was based off of the source material, Candace Bushnell, who was a downtown "it girl" and writer. I just saw an article on Candace. She is single, in her mid to late 50's, lives in a small 1BR on the UES, no children, and smokes.

Was Carrie Jewish? I always thought she was in the show. I think SJP might be part Jewish.

I see mixed groups all the time now. Mainly males.

I'm going to guess Candace Bushnell doesn't have any real female friends though, but lots of real female enemies.

I kind of loved the Carrie character. She was always realistically flawed with notable bad judgement (cheating on Aidan) and vices (smoking and shopping) and warped priorities (shoes vs. rent) and was sometimes a very bad friend and other times a very good one. I loved how Patricia Field translated Carrie's emotions and mood through the character's clothing and how SJP managed to pull off some of those truly eccentric, but genius looks. The writing on the show, as politically incorrect as some of it might be in 2019, was often brilliant, sharp, and genuinely funny. Although very rooted in its era, I still think it's a classic.

Early Carrie did seem real and relatable -- helped by SJP's unconventional looks. But later Carrie who had men and designers fawning over her and such a lavish lifestyle... not so much.

Half Jewish, half horse r120.

They should've ended the series on a more bittersweet note: Harry insists they move to Israel, Charlotte reluctantly complies; Samantha enters into an open marriage with a rich older cancer-survivor, they agree to only see each other on weekends; Miranda and Steve decide NYC is too expensive and move to Philadelphia; Big just texting Carrie to tell her he's available, she walks the streets (of NYC) alone while deciding if she has anything better to do.

R61, I never realized how boring her body is. She was always made to look like she had a nice figure.

Charlotte moving on to Harry felt like a natural progression, and it was a rare time when the writers did something consistent with her character. She had the "perfect" marriage and was married to the "perfect" man, but she was miserable because his mother was a demon and the man himself didn't desire his wife. Harry was extremely imperfect but he adored and desired her, essentially giving her what she was deprived of for... however long she and Trey were married.

Are any of the rumors true that she is indeed gay?

I remember seeing a nude pic of her sucking on a cock. Who's cock was it?
