It's been quite a whirlwind for the ladies of
Sex And The City recently. After a series of premieres and press events in Europe, the women returned home to New York City for the premiere of
Sex And The City: The Movie. Celebrities such as Bette Midler, Katie Couric, Molly Sims, Regis Philbin, Mary J. Blige, Donald and Melania Trump, Joan Allen, and Edie Falco, came out for the premiere and were part of the 3,000 people who filled the theater. The ladies talked to E! News about the movie, the similarities they have with their characters, and the advice that they have for other women.

It was soo good to see them being back.!
Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson has a supporting role in the movie as Carrie’s assistant, Louise. She was asked if she had ever been an assistant and how she got into character. “I tried [becoming an assistant] in preparing for the role. We traded spaces, my assistant and myself. I tried to assist him and it didn’t even last a day, unfortunately,” Hudson told E! News at the New York premiere. “I have nothing on Louise, nothing!”
It’s easy to draw blur the line between the actresses and the characters they play on television.
Kim Cattrall was asked, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much like Samantha she really is. “I think I’m somewhere in the neighborhood of a 5 or sometimes a 6, depending on the music that’s playing or the wine I’ve just drunk,” she laughed. “I’m not as courageous as she is. I’m not as outrageous as she is. I’ve learned to laugh as I’ve gotten older. I’ve learned not take things so seriously and just have fun which, I think, Samantha really symbolizes.”
Cattrall’s character, Samantha, was dating a much younger male model when
Sex And The City came to a close. When asked what she would say to other women in Samantha’s shoes, Cattrall answered, “I don’t have a lot of advice in that arena. I think that attraction and desire is so individual. I am, in my personal life, with someone a lot younger and that’s just really about the person.”
The actresses all agreed that the
Sex And The City viewers have strong opinions about the show and always voice it when the women are out in public. “People are very sweet to me [in the grocery store] about adoption and infertility and converting religion and a lot of issues that Charlotte went through,”
Kristin Davis said at the New York premiere.
Sarah Jessica Parker has had people come up to her on the streets of New York since the show first premiered but she hasn’t minded a bit. “That’s the beauty of living in a walking city, where you’re really exposed to everybody,” she said. “It’s one of the many virtues of shooting here and living here and having a show on the air and being able to speak with people. There were positives and negatives the whole time. That’s New Yorkers for you!”
Will you see the Sex And The City movie?
