This is an iHeart podcast. Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know, are you a Charlotte? So we are back with Molly Price, and we're going to talk about when she came back to see us on the first season, the first episode, actually, of Just Like That. I think it was the first episode. Yeah. So it was really fun because we got to have her back after all these years with a totally different hair color. Unfortunately, you come to Big's funeral.

So for anyone who doesn't know, Big dies. I had a guest on the other day, Molly, who did not know. Oh, no. Oh, no. I know. I felt like someone who's told a child that there is no Santa Claus. Oh no.

I felt really bad. Yeah. Oh no. She was very upset with us. Even though she wasn't necessarily like a big stan, she still seemed very upset. Yeah, it was really interesting. I didn't think there was anyone who didn't know, but that's cause I live in my own bubble of sex.

Do you remember shooting that day because all of the background workers, they didn't want anybody to know that Big had died. So when they were speaking, when the background workers were in the art studio, which is where we filmed that day, right, in Chelsea, they would use her, she. And then when all the background workers were released, and they turned around, and we were seeing all of the cast speaking about Mr. Big, it was at that point that the script changed. And everybody was referencing Mr. Big. And but they didn't want anybody to know. So the whole day we had to keep it a secret because the background workers,

I'm not grabbing workers, the background artists were all under the impression that the person that they were there to memorialize was a woman. I had a line, my line was, am I the only one that remembers what a fucking asshole he was? And the girl that I had to say it to was sitting next to me at the funeral. And I remember after we finished shooting, she said, why did you ask me if he was an

asshole, if the person that died was a woman? Wow. And I said something like, I didn't write the episode, I don't know. You'd have to ask the writers. Good one. Good, Molly. I'm going to craft service. See you later. Bye. Wow, wow. I had forgotten all this drama in that day. Yeah. It was a big day.

What I do remember is they hadn't gotten the montage together yet of Big that we were supposed to be watching on the wall. So we had puppies and stuff. Do you remember this? Were you there for that part? Yes, yes. There was like puppies and kitties and pandas. And at one point Sarah Jessica never breaks, like never, never, like not from laughing, not from anything, do you know what I mean? And she's sitting next to me in the scene.

And at one point, you know, they're doing closeup after closeup and we're watching the puppies and trying to have our feelings. And I think it was just one more angle. And Sarah was just like, ah! Just like fell on her knees and put her head in my lap and just started just like hysterically laughing,

which I had never experienced before in my life. And I did bring that up to her somewhere that we were doing press and she was like, it was the puppies, the puppies, because I had forgotten the crazy. It was like almost like a screen saver montage. Yes. You know? Yeah. They were trying to trick everybody so they didn't know what was going on because it was such a huge storyline, such a huge reveal. Right. So it was beautifully done. I mean, a lot of thought went into keeping that a secret. And you know, I'm impressed that they did.

Me too, I had forgotten. Because you would think that somebody would have leaked it to some, you know, TMZ would have gotten word or something. That's true. I mean, we have this elaborate thing with our scripts as well, which I'm sure they put you through with the watermark and you have to like sign into the thing

to get the script. NDA, yeah. Oh Lordy have mercy, it's a lot of drama to go through. But you know. It's like working for the FBI, yeah. Exactly, it is like working for the FBI yet in the entertainment world. And what else, was it weird to come back? Was it fun, was it strange?

I mean. Oh my God, it was absolutely thrilling because I remember we had the read through the read-through out at what's the beautiful lot out in at the Brooklyn yards yeah yeah yeah and it was a long day we read and then you know there was like lunch and just to see everybody and and to into like you know I was on the show twice on sex in the city so this was the third time that I was in this zeitgeist. But it just felt like such a huge honor and a privilege

to be a part of the launch of And Just Like That, because everyone was so excited to see where everybody was gonna be that many years later. And I just remember the read through was so funny. And the show was so different. And yet it was so essentially the same at its core. But everybody had changed so much and the world had changed. And it was just remarkable to be there and to sit in that room and just listen to everyone go back into that world again and to witness it.

Because I was more of a witness than a participant. And it was thrilling. And then the day that we shot, it was just thrilling because the costumes and it's always so glamorous. They do the best makeup. They do the best hair. Like you're just your best self when you're on that show. So it was just, you know, it's television history

in terms of your association to that. I mean, you guys really changed the landscape of television. So to be a part of it is just, you know, I've done a lot of things in my life, but no matter where I go, even if I travel like out of the country, Susan Sharon is the thing that always people will recognize me for. That's so funny. That's so great.

She's the out of everything I've ever done. Wow. People are like, are you Susan Sharon? And then I'm like, well, not really. And then they freak out. I mean, you must know. I do. People freak out. Any mean, you must know. I do. I do.

People freak out. Any association, any affiliation to that show. That's lovely. I was with my son on Mother's Day. And I said, oh, I'm going to go on this podcast and talk to Kristin Davis about Sex in the City. And he goes, Ma, he's 21, right? He's like, Ma, no.

And I was like, yeah. He's like, Ma, my girlfriend, all their friends, is it a board game? Is there a board game called, are you a Charlotte? Not that I'm aware of. I mean, I'm not getting paid for it. All right, well, you should look into this. Have your people find out.

We should, let's look into it, you guys. Oh my gosh. I thought he said to me that there's a board game that all of the girls at his college play. And it's a board game where you, all the characters are in it and you figure, you play the board game to figure out which character from Sex and the City

you are the most like. I love it. I don't know. I don't know what that is. But you're gonna have to call Mattel and find out if you're missing out on. I will, I will. I think that the original quiz of like, you know,

just which character are you, right? Okay. Is Buzzfeed, I wanna say. Okay. And then when I was gonna do the podcast, I went to work, we were working on this last season, and I asked Michael Patrick about it, and then I asked her Jessica about it,

because I needed to know that they were gonna be supportive, you know, before I said yes. Sure. And they were super supportive, and, you know, before I said yes. And they were super supportive and I was maybe three sentences in when he said, I have the title. Are you a Charlotte? You know, his writer mind working, you know, right away. That's very generous of him.

Very generous, very, very generous, very funny and generous. I have one more question. Okay. Are you a Charlotte? No. Tell us what you are. I would think hands down Miranda. Yeah. That's the part that I was supposed to audition for that I didn't go to. Oh my God. It makes perfect sense. I was supposed to audition for Miranda and I didn't, I didn't go to Queens. Wow. Not that I would have gotten it. I mean, you never know.

You never know. You would have been great. Miranda, for sure. I love it. Yes. You seem like a Miranda to me as well. Yes. It was well cast. We love Miranda. Yes. Have you seen that book? We should all be Miranda's. No. Yeah, it's funny. It's funny

It's because you know how different characters kind of have different Hey days or whatever like times where people like there's a time where Carrie was, you know Everyone loved Carrie and then there was a time where people wanted to criticize Carrie and then Miranda was thought of as not being Exciting for a while and then there was a time where everyone was to criticize Carrie. And then Miranda was thought of as not being exciting for a while. And then there was a time where everyone was like, no, we should all be Miranda's. And also Charlotte at one point was thought of as being like the super boring one.

And then there was a time when everyone was like, oh no, Charlotte has had an amazing trajectory. She's like a sage. Thank you. That's so sweet. And I think Samantha maybe has always been celebrated and beloved, I feel like, because of the freedom that she encapsulates and projects into the world for women. But I feel like everyone has had different times where they rise and fall, which I love. And different times in

your life you'll feel closer to different characters. Yes and I would think they are very essentially probably the most quintessential for archetypes like archetypes of women. Yes. They do represent all the different you know chakras of a woman's you know the types of women that exist in the world. Yes. So it's it's so well done it It's an orchestra and nobody would work without the other one. The synergy is really, is the magic of that show. Definitely. Thank you so much. Thank you.
