Carrie. Samantha. Charlotte. Miranda. Four characters that would become part of television history. Through the preshow angst, onscreen pregnancies, surprising marriages and nasty breakups, the women behind these icons would come to reshape the terms of sex on television, creating an unbelievable all-star mix.

In The Women of Sex and the City: The E! True Hollywood Story, we show you the drama behind the comedy of this revolutionary series. From the initial casting ordeals, the cult fashion followers and the emotional final season, you'll see the turmoil that surrounded the cast. We get inside the Big Apple to find out what it was really like to be one of the femme Fab Four.

This hit gave us a look at city life from a woman's point of view, and no topic was too controversial, including, pornography, masturbation and, of course, Viagra.

Get to know the actresses that drove the groundbreaking series and hear the scoop on the drama-filled breakup between Kim Cattrall and the rest of the cast. And what happened to a Sex and the City movie? See it all here, on this E! True Hollywood Story.

I'm hoping we get some good inside scoop/dirt on the series!

Oh hell yeah! I will be glued to my TV screen!

I'm kinda hoping that there will be some discussion about the SatC Movie that never was.

i cant wait to watch it i know it will be really good!

I wonder if all the cast members partcipated in it. I know that with these type of specials, not everyone agrees to be a part of it, which is a shame sometimes.

Lonely Smile · 05-30-2006, 06:07 PM

I, for one, was disappointed with the special. I felt that everything they had talked about, I already knew. I wished they hadn't spend so much time going over each of the actresses life prior to the series because that was boring and I was interested in it. All they seemed to do was take snippets of various interviews and soundbites and compile them into the show. There were no fresh interviews, with the exception of Michael Patrick King. I did find it interesting to see who was originally cast as Samantha. I don't think she would have worked as well as Kim Cattrall did in the role.

Its hasn't been shown here yet i hope its on soon, though from the sounds of it i didn't miss much

awww... I missed the show. I hope they show it again during the weekend.

I'm thinking that if you've only watched the series, no interviews and such, or you're new to the series, than the special may be worthwhile for you. I've read up on the series and watched a lot of interviews, so it was nothing new.

So, who was the original Samantha then? I'm dying to know, because it's apparently a fairly well-known actress but they wouldn't name her in the official guide.

Lonely Smile · 05-31-2006, 04:48 PM

Um ... all I remember is her first name was Lou ... I had never heard of her or seen her before.

That's interesting...it's hard to imagine anyone else as Samantha...or any of them being different for that matter. I missed the show, but am interested to see it still. What did it say about "the break up of the cast"? I never knew why or that it was between Kim and the rest, I only heard it being between Kim and SJP.

Lonely Smile · 06-02-2006, 11:11 PM

All they said was that Kim Cattrall wanted script approval and to be paid the same as SJP. Then too much time passed and all the sets were torn down and I think everyone just lost interest in making the movie.
