Refreshing Caucasian cocks from brunchs and manolos on the sidewalks of Manhattan. In 1998, when different series began to appear, it premiered Sex in New York And it was the bomb: four New Yorkers, empowered, independent, who talked about sex (among other things) openly. Now the series, which reached planetary fame and recruited legions of fans in its six seasons (and two movies), returns to HBO Max in the form of a sequel, titled And just like that... (And so, in Spanish). Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte) will once again have urban and sentimental adventures, but Kim Cattral (Samantha) will not be part of this new miniseries.
How has the lives of actresses changed in these years? Parker (55 years old), who in fiction played the columnist Carrie Bradshaw, the true protagonist, has continued to play roles (and produce) in films and series (Divorce, for example), and also created her own line of perfumes (fragrances like Lovely or Stash). Personally, it carries 23 years married to fellow actor Matthew Broderick: as a couple, parents of three children, they have chosen a life away from show business and dedicated to theater projects on Broadway (one of the last, Plaza Suite). Recently, Parker has speculated that her character was the only real one in the series and that her friends were imaginary, stereotypes she used to inspire her columns. Who knows, the fact is that actresses do exist.
Cattral (64 years old), who had already participated in a good handful of blockbusters in the most commercial cinema hollywood, it has also continued in business. One of the issues that has aroused the most interest at this time are the bad relations between Parker and Cattral, which have made rivers of ink flow, due to personal and, above all, professional quarrels. Friendship on screen does not always correspond to friendship in the flesh. A few years ago, when Cattral’s brother died, Parker offered his condolences on social media. “You are not my family. You’re not my friend”, Cattral replied harshly.
These bad relationships are aimed as the cause there was no third movie of Sex in the city and what Cattral did not participate in the new miniseries. She alleges that she is ten years older than her peers and that she considers that she has already closed a stage. Perhaps she does not have the best of memories: the strenuous days of recording the series, of up to 19 hours, as she has counted, prevented her from being a mother and ended her marriage to Mark Levison, due to his continuous absences. In return, she has become a kind of mentor for the young actresses she works with.
In addition to acting, Kristin Davis (55 years old) has been involved in solidarity causes as Global Ambassador for Oxfam International or Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, tasks that have led her to visit the drought in the Horn of Africa or fields of refugees in Uganda or the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In her personal life, she has been romantically linked to actors such as Jeff Goldblum, Alec Baldwin, or the screenwriter and director Aaron Sorkin. She is the mother of two adopted children (in that she resembles the distinguished gallerist she plays in the series), Gemma Rose and Winston.
Cyntia Nixon (54 years old) has also been involved, But in her case on political issues: in 2018 she ran for governor of New York, but lost in the Democratic Party primaries to Andrew Cuomo, currently in office. It is a firm defender of the rights of LGTBI people and same-sex marriage. In fact, he met his wife, Christine Marinoni, at a demonstration on these issues. He has three children, one of them transsexual. Regarding acting, he has continued to work at a very good pace: practically one film per year, in addition to theater and television.
Time passes in real life but it can also take place in fictional universes. In the new journey of the characters of Sex in New York The march of the calendar and the changes society has undergone will not be ignored. “I’d like to see where the characters are now,” Parker told Page Six. In the second decade of the 21st century we live in full technological acceleration, in the ubiquity of social networks, immersed in controversies around the gender issue or the MeToo movement. “There has been a change of direction when it comes to talking about sexual politics, and I think Carrie Bradshaw would be delighted to share her feelings and thoughts on it,” Parker said.
