10 Surprising Sex and the City Facts

The Sex and the City ladies rarely kept any information to themselves, yet there is so much about the hit show we don’t know. So we thought we’d share 10 of the most interesting facts about everyone’s favourite foursome.

 

1. The Book

Sex and the City is based on the book of the same name by Candace Bushnell; however, Darren Starr, the creator of the TV show, only paid her $60,000 for the rights. Bargain!

 

2. Carrie’s Wedding Dress

The note included with Carries wedding dress was written by Vivienne Westwood herself!

 

3. Nudity Clause

5. Samantha Jones
