Cynthia Nixon revealed that she auditioned for the 'Sex and the City' role made famous by Sarah Jessica Parker
“They brought me in to audition for Carrie. I auditioned and they were like, ‘Yeah, not so much,’” Nixon said on the podcast. “And I said to myself — and I’m usually not so proactive — but I was like, at the time, it didn’t seem like there were four women, it seemed there was, like, seven. And I was like, ‘There’s gotta be one of those women I can play. Can they see me for somebody else?’”
“My manager… said to me before I went in for Miranda, she was like, ‘Maybe you could comb your hair,’” the actress added. “’Maybe you could wear some lipstick.’ And they auditioned me a lot of times.” “It was so unusual amongst women,” she said, adding that she was asked to read in Parker’s place since they weren’t sure if Parker would take the role. There was one line that stood out for her that made her seem like she wasn’t the right one for that lead part. “It said, ‘Carrie has the body of Heather Locklear and the mind of Dorothy Parker,’” Davis said. “And I was like, ‘That is adorable, but I can’t play that part.
