Sex and the City

The girls' addresses are: - Carrie: 245 East 73rd St - Samantha: 300 Gansevoort Street - Charlotte: 700 Park Avenue - Miranda: 331 West 78th St. - None of them actually exist

The medicine cabinet in Carrie's apartment was first spied by Sarah Jessica Parker at a flea market shortly before filming began on the series. She and Matthew Broderick didn't buy it but reconsidered. When they went back, the cabinet was already sold to "some TV show". When she showed up for filming, the medicine cabinet was there.

The naturally blond Cynthia Nixon dyes her hair red to play Miranda on the show.

Carrie meets Mr. Big in the very first episode.

Sarah Jessica Parker had a clause in her contract for this show stipulating that she will not do any full nudity. This is why the audience never sees Carrie in anything less than underwear whereas all the other main female characters have been filmed in much less.

All of Season 1 was shot on 16mm film. It is the only one of the 6 seasons to be shot on this stock.

The final word spoken in the very last episode was "Fabulous".

The show became so popular that a tour was setup to view the New York City locations of the series by bus.

From the very first season up to the 12th episode of the 4th season, in the opening credits, Sarah Jessica Parker's name was shown with the World Trade Center towers behind her name. After the terrorist attacks on the USA of September 11 2001 and the collapse of the towers, her name then appeared with the Empire State Building in the background. The same thing happened with the show's main title.

Kim Cattrall turned down the role of Samantha Jones twice before being convinced by Darren Star's boyfriend to give it a try and shoot the pilot episode.

The early episodes of the show had characters looking directly at the camera lens and commenting on the events in the story. This element was dropped in later episodes.

Cynthia Nixon does not have pierced ears. All of her earrings on the show were clip-ons. Sometimes the costume designers would send away earrings they liked to a jeweller to make them clip-on earrings.

Charlotte's wedding dress (to Harry) is by Badgley Mischka.

The part which ultimately went to Matthew McConaughey in the Episode 'Escape from New York' was originally written for Alec Baldwin who declined. The producers then contacted George Clooney who, although was interested in it, couldn't do it. The script was then sent to Warren Beatty who also declined.

Kristin Davis (Charlotte) revealed back in 2005, that in an early draft for the movie, Charlotte was supposed to fly to China to adopt a child and finds out she's in fact pregnant. Of course, this was scrapped for the final script.

During the course of the show, all of the characters move into new apartments except for Carrie.

The ballerina tutu that Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing in the opening credits cost only $5 from a vintage store.

Charlotte's wedding dress (to Trey) is by Vera Wang.

There are only 8 Episodes in Season 5 due to Sarah Jessica Parker's pregnancy.

The show was the first cable series to win the Emmy for Best Comedy Series.

In the final episode, we finally learn the first name of "Mr. Big" (played by Chris Noth) - John. However, his last name is never given in the series. It is however revealed in the follow-up movie.
