1. Sarah Jessica Parker is the only one of the four main actresses whose contract clearly stated that she would never appear naked on screen.
2. Both times when Carrie and Aiden break up, she was wearing a white dress and he was wearing a tux. This was supposed to signify how marriage seemed like a good idea but it just wasn't right for Carrie.
I don't care! I still love Carrie and Aiden together.
3. Matthew McConaughey's cameo was written for Alec Baldwin. He turned it down and the producers went to George Clooney who couldn't do it. The script was sent to Warren Beatty who declined too! Matthew was their fourth choice!
In what world is Matthew McConaughey fourth choice?!
4. Carrie's ballerina tutu from the opening sequence actually came from a bargain bin in a vintage store. It cost $5!
This would be such a cute Halloween costume!
5. Sarah Jessica would spend up to 18 hours a day in heels just to play Carrie.
I would be grumpy if I had to spend hours in heels. How can she even stand? Could she even feel her feet?!
6. Carrie asks 92 questions in her columns during the show. She asks the last question in the episode before she moves to Paris! She wrote, "Is it time to stop questioning?" She doesn't ask anything in the last two episodes!
7. Have you noticed that Natasha, Mr. Big's wife, almost always wore white on the show? It was done on purpose by the producers to convey that her personality is "vanilla."
8. None of the four main characters repeat a full outfit during the show. No repeats happen until the final episode when Carrie wears a fur coat that she wore from the first season!
9. Cast members said there was a LOT of drama on set between co-workers.
10. When Samantha runs into Phoebe (played by Geri Halliwell from the Spice Girls), they're standing right outside SoHo House. When the scene was filmed, Victoria Beckham was inside for a party!
11. The showrunner almost passed on Cynthia Nixon for Miranda because she was blonde and not a redhead like he wanted!
12. The showrunner said that the only reason why Carrie and Aleksandr Petrovsky were together was because he was sick of fans complaining how Big was so much older than Carrie.
He decided to really pair her up with an older guy!
13. The dog who played Pete was so scared of John Corbett (Aidan) that they had to replace the dog!
14. The medicine cabinet from Carrie's apartment was actually spotted by Sarah Jessica at a flea market before filming started. She didn't buy it but went back to get it later only to find out it was sold to "some TV show."
She showed up to set for the first day and it was right there in Carrie's apartment!
15. Sarah Jessica originally wanted to quit the show after the pilot was filmed! She said she wasn't comfortable with the sexual content but was convinced by her husband to stick it out.
And now it's a show that's become a pop culture phenomenon!
