The actress previously spoke to the Miami Herald about her time on Sex and the City – and how she was constantly recognised for the role, even more than a decade after it came to an end.
“[It was] oh, so fun. You’d be shocked how many people still come up to me — a 90-year-old women — and say, ‘I never mentioned the word “sex” in my life before that show,'” she continued
“It opened up a whole new world. It was about these individuals struggling to find themselves. The show itself was a very special, unique experience, shot more like a film than a television program. In any case, I loved it. And my doorman in New York City is still obsessed with Sarah Jessica Parker. He always asks me about her!”
