This is an iHeart Podcast. People that were hard on me are not here no more, so I'm hard on myself. You know, make me cry. Listen to you versus you on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown.

Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. Every week, we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family. Listen to United States of Kennedy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline,

a different type of podcast. You, the listener, ask the questions... Did George Washington really cut down a cherry tree? Were JFK and Marilyn Monroe having an affair? And I find the answers. I'm so glad you asked me this question. This is such a ridiculous story. You can listen to American History Hotline

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just like great shoes, great books take you places. Through unforgettable love stories and into conversations with characters you'll never forget. I think any good romance, it gives me this feeling of like butterflies. I'm Danielle Robay, and this is Bookmarked

by Reese's Book Club, the new podcast from Hello Sunshine and iHeart Podcasts, where we dive into the stories that shape us, on the page and off. Each week, I'm joined by authors, celebs, book talk stars, and more for conversations that will make you laugh, cry, and add way too many books to your TBR pile. Listen to Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This week on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, Sophia Bush is here. Tell me how

that feels to be a hot, considered a hot lesbian. Quite an honor. You know what's funny? When you're actually more fluid with your sexuality, the swing goes from nobody gives a shit who you're sleeping with to you better identify exactly who you are so we can figure out what name to call you. And it's like, has nobody been paying attention

to all the hot girls I've been kissing on camera? Hi, I've always been here. Listen to Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know, are you a Charlotte? Thanks for coming back everybody. This is going to be part two of our favorite moments from the first six months of Are You a Charlotte? I hope you enjoy.

I'm honored to have you for many reasons. Number one, I just like to see you. I love to see you. Number two, Lena, in case you guys don't know, is a multi-hyphenate. I'm going to tell you your whole resume later when you're not in front of me. But the thing that's important is that her knowledge

of film and television is so expansive and deep. And this is partly why I love her. Like when we first started and just like that, you left me the sweetest, sweetest voicemail. I don't know what panicky thing I had sent to you or whatever, but you're just very grounding. Your knowledge is very grounding in terms of what has happened before, how things develop

in our culture, on television, in film, what it means. And as you just said to me when you sat down, we were talking about this episode, you said, I think television has a timestamp. Tell me more, what do you mean exactly? Well, I think sometimes when people look at TV from say 10 years ago or even 20, it can feel in moments uncomfortable or icky even

because you're thinking, oh, well, no one would make that joke today or you couldn't do that now. And what's interesting about that is what I believe art is, it's a time capsule really, and it's a timestamp of where we were at that time and what was happening in the world then. And so I think of, even though yes,

these are fictitious characters, in a way, this is sort of giving us a sense of what New York was at that time, what it was for women at that time, what the limits were at that moment, and what could and couldn't be talked about, and what barriers you guys were pushing up against. And so, I'm really grateful that I got to grow up with it. I was like, I was a teenager when it first came on,

and so I was learning so much about what it meant to be an adult friend by watching you all, and I think I was more interested in that than the love stories per se. Right. But the love stories were there as well. We told you about something about self-love and how you see yourself. But watching it now as a 40 year old person, revisiting the episode.

For a lot of us who are my age, we feel a little confronted by now Sex and the City because we are now the ages that you guys were then, like at that time. And we're seeing ourselves play out some of these storylines. And that I think is saying that the show, you may point certain things out and say, oh, you can't make that joke now,

but I do think the show is aging well. Thank you. Because the fact that I can see myself in it as I get older and understand things better. Right. It's work that I've gotten to grow up with and I still get to sit with now. But now it's not a lot of us are saying it's not just fun on the background now now it's Okay, I'm in this stage right now Or I'm going through a divorce or I'm about to get married or I'm about to have my first baby, right?

And so now it's as if you guys are still there I think of art as an inheritance and so we have inherited this this work And that's why I think within just Like That is a continuation of the life of the work. And so when I go back and revisit and Just Like That, I will be, as I get older, I will then start to understand these stories even more. So wait, you've known Michael since the 80s? Since the 80s. So I was doing an off-Broadway show at the time. It was the end of 1999, I think, or 2000. I think it was early 2000 and I he said I wrote you

something. So he wrote it for you. That's amazing. I was doing an off-broadway show at the time and but I went in to read just to make it official and you know so I I was doing a show called The Crumple Zone we did very well. Ran for six months off Broadway. And I I remember. We are night are the day we filmed. It was a tech day. Mm hmm. Oh, no. The director, who I love very much, is not pleased. No, he didn't want to let me out.

I'm like, it's a tech day. People stand there and you might it. Right. And I went like this. I'm going to do this episode because it was an issue of maybe. Oh, no, I was like, I'm going to do my this episode and I went oh no it was sweet it was desperation so like what was it was one it was one episode that was my wedding planner as your wedding friend please and do you remember we had two scenes we had a second scene okay see I love I love see you do every episode I don't I was recurring I did

people go how many episodes did I do I did 12 only 12 I did one season three yeah ours two season four three season five and six season six and then both movies and now I'm a regular. the movies really kind of solidified it, which was nice, you know? Yes, yes, got it. So, there were two scenes in that first episode we did. Okay. There was the one, Hates It, very famous, Hates It. With the wedding dresses.

With the wedding dresses. Yeah, Vera Wang. Got it. Don't use the F word in Vera Wang. Yeah, all that stuff. Okay. You're dragging and I'm yelling at the girl. Right.

And then there was another scene in the back of the Vera Wang in this kind of little area. In the dressing room? Yep. And I was fitting you. OK. You were getting very anxious as Charlotte. This was a no. And I had his scissors and it ripped the dress and you were furious.

And we just kind of looked at each other. That scene got cut because it was at three in the morning, four in the morning. There wasn't enough coverage and they cut it. Luckily, they cut it because it was almost like an argument between us. I ripped your dress. So it might have gone well. So if. Well, they probably wanted to keep you. They probably knew already.

I don't know. No. Well, I remember running into Michael and he said, do you know how much great feedback we got on you? I said, I don't know. I said, and I don't care. I just want to know, am I coming back? He said, do you know how much great feedback we got on you? I said, I don't know. I said, and I don't care. I just wanna know, am I coming back? And he said, yes.

I need some clarity though, because sometimes people say things that I'm not quite sure if I'm hearing correctly. Like basically Sam is saying, Samantha is saying, that you don't wanna be the guest star in the threesome. No, you do wanna be the guest star. You do wanna be the guest star, cause you don't want connections.

You don't want connections. You don't wanna do it with like a good friend. You wanna be like, you do want to be the guest star. You do want to be the guest star because you don't want connections. You don't want connections. You don't want to do it with like a good friend. You want to be like, you want to come in and out, enjoy it and get the hell out of it. Right. It's so crazy that Charlotte's like, no, maybe I would want one of my friends. Oh my God. But that's so Charlotte. She's like, she would feel safe that way. I know, but it's like, it's a terrible idea. It was really so horrifying for me to think about like, what if she tried to convince her to be a person with her?

This would be terrible, okay? Just terrible in so many ways. Like, oh my God. Anyway, I had a moment of fear then too, because I was like, I don't remember any of this. She's like, wait, oh, did I have a threesome with Carrie? I tried to talk her into it. Oh my God, I was mortified.

Thank God I do not. But then poor Miranda. I know, poor Miranda, no one chooses her. No one chooses Miranda. I know. It's so adorable. I know. I don't remember this at all.

I know. And I love, I really, I love how Cynthia played it through the episode. So brilliant. Like, I'm going to get to the bottom of this and I'm upset and I'm sorry, I wasn't chosen. I know. And that's upsetting.

I know. And she's got this therapist, which like, do we ever see this person again? I don't think we do. Oh my God, he's an older man. And he basically is like, are you asking to have a threesome with me? Right.

It's so weird and funny. And it's such a traditional looking therapy office where I'm just like, is this what a therapy office would look like in 1998 in Manhattan? Who knows? It was probably whatever set we had that we could put up two flats and some books. The first time we met Sarah Jessica

was at Pat's apartment, which was above the store on 8th Street. It had rubber floors. Then after parties, she would like kind of hose down and you know, with sticky liquor or whatever. I'm sure, don't wanna know more. Let's show SJ just a few little ideas. So we had one Rebecca and Pat and I,

Rebecca was Pat's girlfriend at the time as you remember. Yes I do. We went to INA who had a consignment store in Soho. Oh Ina. Yeah, and pulled a few things which we still do for you. We still go there. I love it so much. And we showed Sarah Jessica the fur coat. Oh, you had it right then.

Yeah, the burgundy clutch purse, which I believe she paired on the show with the fur coat and some little mules that were plastic. And I remember, you know, I've kept a diary all my life and I remember writing in my diary that Pat and Sarah Jessica were so excited because they were going to not wear pantyhose. Ah ha, that was a major, major point. I don't think people understand that. No, I don't think people remember that number one, you always had to wear them previous.

Like for me in Melrose land and just Los Angeles in general, like that was a normal thing. And obviously in South Carolina, where I grew up, I mean, of course you wore pantyhose, right? Which is what we called them back then. And then I remember Pat just like, no! And she's being like, oh my God. And in the beginning, when I'm rewatching,

obviously I hadn't remembered a lot of this, but I've got hose on a couple of times. And I'm like, Pat must have been so mad at me. That is so funny. I'm glad that you understand where that's coming from because it was kind of like not a requirement, but women just wore it and Pat and Sarah Jessica were talking about bare legs, bare legs, even in winter. Oh, I know. I remember those days. I remember those cold days. MUSIC

So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond. And left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's, Teddy escapes, blonde drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you.

The story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Chappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse?

Well, women said something like, you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is gory. Those founding fathers were gossipy AF and they loved to cut each other down.

Hamilton pauses and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption. My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said.

It would have been harder to fake it than to do it. Listen to American history hotline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

At one point, you know how in a baby shower, there was a tradition, I don't know if you did this, where you take all the bows from all the packages and you put them on your head. Did you do this? No, my baby, my water broke at my baby shower. Oh no! Yeah.

That's like a TV show. No, I know. What did you do? I went to the hospital. Did everyone panic? Everybody panicked and they called my husband, who was with some of the other guys. Like a guy thing.

Like having a beer on the corner. We were here in New York on the, I mean, we lived here on the rooftop, somewhere nearby. It was like April. Wow. So it was beautiful. And two, 12 years ago and like, oh, two weeks, my daughter's about to have her birthday. Oh, that's nice. And they called and they said, and everybody was laughing because it was shocking and there

was only one man in the room and it was the caterer and he threw paper towels at us and then walked out of the door. He was just like, I cannot deal with this. Oh my God. And it was, what was even more comedic about it is we were in a circle. Uh huh. I was opening presents. Right.

And my friend goes, oh my gosh, she's about to have that baby right here. My stomach made a weird movement. Oh my god. Which I guess is what happened. I have no idea. I have no idea. Okay. And it only, this has only happened with my first child.

Okay. And then my water broke in front of every single person sitting and everybody's reaction was so different. Like somebody cried because they were pregnant and they were like, just horrified. And they had so much feeling. They had so much feeling. Other people were dying laughing. So when they called and they said,

well, it was like kind of funny. Okay. I was like, what is happening? You know, but they called my husband and Barbara, my sister and I have a twin sister. Right. We played so many pranks on him over the years. Oh, no.

But he did not believe. Oh, like he thought this was like a funny thing girls were doing. And also he'd been to the doctor like with me the day before where they were like, you have six more weeks. What? So he just was the thought. And then there is a producer that works on our show still now, works on our show, who I've known all these years, 12 years later, who is so lovely and earnest and kind. And her husband was with her, Henry, my husband, and she called and she's like,

No, it's real. This is real. And he was like, listen, her husband was like, I know Barbara and Jenna can lie, but Carrie cannot. So you need to go to the hospital. Wow. Anyway, so I don't think we put the bow on her head. You didn't get to that. I fully understand.

I'm not sure people still do that. I feel like it was more, no. I kind of remember like, It was a thing, but I just don't know if it still happens. Probably not. So for some reason, Charlotte also manages to get a bow on her head, which I really think I probably had something to do with. Because it is one of my favorite pictures. It's very funny.

I mean, I also think because Charlotte just really would like to be part of this club. You know what I'm saying? So then Lainey has a huge amount of bows on her head, at which point one of her friends says, oh, little Shayla is gonna love blah, blah, blah, whatever gift it was. And I'm like, hmm, what? And like, you know, kind of a big reaction

for young Charlotte. I stand up, like that is my secret baby name that I told you. She's like, well, I'm just really sorry, I don't remember. And this is such an unfair thing that I'm about to say, but like, I back then... I, back then, would have a lot of trouble separating the actor from the part, right? So, like, later on when Big has Natasha, like...

When I've said this to Bridget, I'm like, I'm really sorry. I just really couldn't look at you. Yeah, I just couldn't... I just couldn't, like... Like, you thought she was actually a bad person. I know! It's terrible. One of the things I want to ask you about is a male perspective of Big here, because in this episode, which is super interesting to look back on, because Charlotte was always pro-Big, but I'm looking back on this early season and being like, ew, ew, because Carrie

is very connected and very open. We start at the beginning of the episode and she's saying like, you know, we're in the middle of New York, seven million people, and episode and she's saying like, you know, we're in the middle of New York, 7 million people and it's that great shot where, you know, real New Yorkers are walking and holding the camera. It's so cool. And it looks so 70s now to our eyes now in 2025, right? The clothes.

Right, all of the cars, everything. So they're like so united and within this crowd and she's obviously, you know obviously over the moon into it. And we assume he is too, and they're spending all their time together to the point where she hasn't seen the girlfriends at all, and we think she's fallen off the cliff or whatever. And then cut to, he says he has a work dinner.

And yes, and we go out to dinner with her because she says, oh yeah, Big has a work dinner tonight, a work thing tonight. Let's go out to dinner. We go out to dinner and we see and we go out to dinner with her because she's, oh yeah, Big has a work dinner tonight, a work thing tonight. Let's go out to dinner. We go out to dinner and we see him in the corner having dinner with another woman, which I'm just like, he should have been out then. Like, oh, what the heck? Just because to me, I would feel that they were not in sync.

If I was in that relationship and I thought we were over the moon, not even talking to our friends level of connected, and then he's gone out with another woman, what the heck, boo, out the door. What do you think? Yeah, I guess, well, so here's the show specifically. Yes. He said he had a work dinner.

Right, a work thing I think he said, or dinner, yeah. Now, there's a lie, a white lie there. Boo. Okay. Take that away just for a second. Okay. Later on in the episode, not later on, but I love the way that that scene was handled,

and it's funny you're asking me about this, because I took note of it, where he wasn't caught. He didn't play it like he was caught. That's true. Which is the- That was interesting. Trapp is an actor, by the way. Yeah. But he didn't play it like he was caught. That's true. Which is the trap as an actor, by the way. Yeah. But he didn't play it like he was caught.

That's a good point. No, he didn't. He's like, oh, hey, maybe a little uncomfortable, but hey, this is Bonnie or whatever her name is. Ew. But, and I just had this conversation with a friend in real life. Was there an established situation?

There was not. And there wasn't. No, there was not. And he said it where it's like, are we boyfriend, girlfriend? Right. Are we committed? Right, there's not. Situation, and there wasn't. No, there was not. And he said it where it's like, are we boyfriend, girlfriend? Right. Are we committed? Right, there's not.

And so you can't just assume that one is committed and the other isn't. Even if you're getting the committed vibes, you still have to have the conversation. For sure, but. You have to. Let's just talk emotionally. Yes, I agree with you, but emotionally,

it would really hurt me to think that we were not on the same level. Like when she goes, oh, I didn't realize I was in these feelings by myself. Yeah. Like that's an upsetting feeling. Sure, but then you have to take into account the reasons why he might not be.

Why? Why might he not be? Well, there could be a psychological thing. There could be something like he's been burned before, he's been hurt before, his parents have divorced. I don't care. He's a non-committal person. He's feeling love.

But let me ask you this, slow down, slow down with the ideas. He's feeling love and is deflecting with other women. Okay, okay, okay. But let's say that those, okay, he's a grownup, right? He's not 25, he's not 30. He's a grownup, okay? So she is obviously open to this in a way

that he seems like he might not be. John is in the first season, which really surprised both of us. Yeah, exactly. We thought it was like later on in the run. Absolutely, I would have probably said end of the second, maybe even the third season. The third, which I think of as our best season, if we have to pick an overall season. Barring my episode, of course maybe even the third season. The third, which I think of as our best season,

if we have to pick an overall season. Barring my episode, of course. Well, your episode, that's why I'm saying I would put it in the best, because it's such a good episode. And it was written by Michael Patrick King, which you can completely tell. Oh, God, yes. John plays the Catholic guy.

He has a real name, it's called Thomas John Anderson, which is kind of funny, because it's John Benjamin Hickey. Three names for three names. And he's playing Michael Patrick King, basically, in his own episode, and he is called the Catholic guy. That's what we call him in the shorthand to the friends. And he's opposite Cynthia, and they are incredible. This episode was directed by Matthew Harrison.

We don't have a ton of memories about him. We're really sorry. I always apologize if I don't remember the director. Vivid memories of MPK. Not directing me, but just he's such a brilliant, extraordinary presence on set. And his writing was so great that I remember him. And of course, I've known him all these years after. Right.

But yeah, I don't remember the director as much. I know. But that's not because he didn't direct a great episode. Absolutely, because that episode. A good director disappears a little bit. This is a good point. And you also direct, so you know very well. You know very well.

So tell us your memories and your thoughts about the new, it was relatively new show. Yeah, is this a G-rated program? No, you can say anything you want. Well, what I vividly remember is being on top of Cynthia, having, being in the throes of passion and having orgasm after, fake orgasm after orgasm, and getting up and showing.

And, you know, a lot of people have seen it in syndication and all that stuff's out. But in the, I guess the DVD or box set or whatever you call it these days, you see all of those sex scenes. So what I remember most vividly is being in bed in flagrrante, with Cynthia Nixon. Thank goodness I had known her.

We had done a play together, which is the way you get very intimate very quickly is by being on stage together. And we had such a great time doing this play and such a great rapport and such great trust that we immediately threw ourselves into it. And you know, this was before Sex in the City was Sex in the City. So going to that set and having to do such a huge sex scene was really nerve wracking. Nerve wracking. So that's my biggest memory is just being on top of Cynthia.

And you know, and then the casual, after an hour or two, it becomes so casual, like what are you gonna have for lunch? I think I'm gonna have that, you know. You're both naked. I mean, we all had, we've talked about sock socks and all that stuff, yeah. Right, right, right.

I guess I remember the sock as well. There you go, very memorable. I mean, the thing about Cynthia too, which is a theme in every guy that I've ever spoken to who was opposite hers, that she has no real fear or self-consciousness about it. Yeah, no, she doesn't. Thank you so much for joining me to recap all

these little moments, everyone. If you haven't heard those episodes, they are there. You can go back and re-listen if you would like or listen for the first time.
