Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know, are
Speaker 1: you a Charlotte. This is very exciting because we have
Speaker 1: the one, the only, Andrea Boogletti who plays Derek in
Speaker 1: episode I guess it's a technically episode two, is that right?
Speaker 1: Models immortals of the original season of Sexton City, and
Speaker 1: you play this very elusive character who's much discussed and
Speaker 1: much missed over time, and it's so amazing to have
Speaker 1: you and I really appreciate you being here.
Speaker 2: You have many many questions.
Speaker 3: It's such a pleasure to be here and to see
Speaker 3: you again after.
Speaker 2: So long, I know, I mean so long.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think I saw you at a movie theater
Speaker 3: across from Lincoln Center for some premiere one time, and
Speaker 3: that's the last time I ever saw.
Speaker 2: One of the beds.
Speaker 1: Do you remember how there's one where we had like
Speaker 1: beds outside where I was like, what did Peggy do?
Speaker 1: Peggy remember Peggy the event planner? And they were like
Speaker 1: crazy parties. Yeah, I remember that. I remember that, and
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, because I wasn't there when you worked,
Speaker 1: you know, only sure Jessica was right, and especially back then,
Speaker 1: we moved so quickly, you know, and so like if
Speaker 1: you weren't in the storylines with the other people. You
Speaker 1: just kind of missed out and you couldn't wait to
Speaker 1: see it, you know in the finish first no better
Speaker 1: than well, I mean that's how it was, and that's
Speaker 1: how we felt about you, and I think because you
Speaker 1: played such an interesting character who was based on a
Speaker 1: real model, but you were also modeling correct before. Okay,
Speaker 1: So take me back to what your life was like
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 3: What you remember, Well, I really wanted to quit modeling, Okay.
Speaker 3: I had done it for four years, four and a
Speaker 3: half years, and it really burnt out and I had
Speaker 3: it up to here.
Speaker 2: It's a hard job.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just grueling, the traveling, just never being
Speaker 3: able to settle down ey. Yeah, and never have a relationship. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was just.
Speaker 2: Never have a dog over like, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you're in the dogs.
Speaker 3: Right, I just don't have a one point. I traveled
Speaker 3: more than flight attendants did.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: So I mean that's being super successful, but it's also
Speaker 1: very very difficult.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So you were already at the right age of twenty eight.
Speaker 2: Wow, burnt You were burnt on the modeling yeap. Okay,
Speaker 2: so you wanted to act.
Speaker 3: I wanted to act, and so I was. I got
Speaker 3: with an agency named Jamichael Bloom. Yeah, and they were
Speaker 3: handling a couple of people. More even Jamcho Bloom was
Speaker 3: handling handling a couple of people. I wanted to make
Speaker 3: the transition from modeling into acting, right, And this was
Speaker 3: the first audition, amazing, No.
Speaker 1: Way, do you remember how many times you had to
Speaker 1: go in.
Speaker 3: I went in twice.
Speaker 2: Oh that's pretty good.
Speaker 3: Just the initial audition and then the callback with.
Speaker 2: Sarah, got it, got it.
Speaker 3: And to prepare for that, I went and just went
Speaker 3: to a video store and I rented any movie that
Speaker 3: I could find with Sarah and how fun. And just
Speaker 3: want to get familiar with her because I knew that
Speaker 3: I was going to have to be right in front
Speaker 3: of her and yeah, doing the lines with her, and
Speaker 3: I need to be comfortable. Yeah, I already knew her.
Speaker 2: Did it work out?
Speaker 3: It did? Actually helped a lots to.
Speaker 2: Work with she is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think sometimes right, And I mean,
Speaker 1: you're so great, You're so great. In that episode, I
Speaker 1: was like, why did we not have him back?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 3: I was supposed to come back in the eighth episode.
Speaker 3: Then Dennis Herdman, who is Theren's boyfriend. Yes, just he said,
Speaker 3: don't take you personally. The writing just took a turn,
Speaker 3: and that's what happens. And I was really bombed. Maybe
Speaker 3: if I had been in season two, I would I
Speaker 3: might have been able to develop more of a character
Speaker 3: or something. But I know, sure season it was about
Speaker 3: all your experiences.
Speaker 1: And mister big so that is very valid. But I
Speaker 1: feel I feel two things. Number One, you know, we
Speaker 1: had these for season one. Once we got picked up here,
Speaker 1: you know, we were I was here in La, Michael
Speaker 1: was here in La, Michael Patrick King, Darren was here
Speaker 1: in La and we got picked up. But Darren had
Speaker 1: the writer's room here in LA with a bunch of
Speaker 1: writers that we literally never met. We don't even still know,
Speaker 1: Like I don't know who they are. I could see
Speaker 1: one in the hall, I wouldn't know that they were them.
Speaker 1: So we didn't have our team yet, you know, really
Speaker 1: like congealed, and later on we would get them and
Speaker 1: we would had Michael Patrick King that we had. I
Speaker 1: believe at one point we had six women writers, which
Speaker 1: was great, but we were kind of just leaping off
Speaker 1: of Candace's book and Candace had this story in there
Speaker 1: based on that other model who apparently auditioned to play
Speaker 1: himself but they told him he was too old.
Speaker 3: That's crazy, isn't it. We were friends, I know, we're
Speaker 3: friends is the magic word. Because something happened at that
Speaker 3: premiere party after it premiered and we were all there,
Speaker 3: and the party I don't remember where it was. It
Speaker 3: was somewhere on the West Side. It was a cool
Speaker 3: little club, and I don't know. This reporter came up
Speaker 3: to me from I think from the Daily News right
Speaker 3: and asked me about, you know, how it was to
Speaker 3: have been chosen to play the part and how it
Speaker 3: was shooting, and then he asked me about why he
Speaker 3: thinks that Michael Bergan didn't Why do I think Michael
Speaker 3: Bergan didn't get it? And I said, well, you know,
Speaker 3: it's probably because he's on Baywatch and he was on
Speaker 3: Baywatch at the time. Yeah, I forgot that. And this
Speaker 3: reporter added a line that I never said that really acted.
Speaker 3: It sounded like I said something bad about Michael and
Speaker 3: it ended up in the Daily News or Russian Maloy
Speaker 3: column and I remember Russian and it was just awful.
Speaker 3: It just hit me so hard and I just felt
Speaker 3: terrible and I had to put out, well, for lack
Speaker 3: of a better word, I had to put out a
Speaker 3: lot of fires. People were calling me, what the hell
Speaker 3: did you say? I mean, lesson learned.
Speaker 2: Lesson learned, for sure.
Speaker 1: But honestly, I've been doing this a long time, as
Speaker 1: you know, and there's crazy gossip has always been around
Speaker 1: us here. I'm doing the podcast where I'm literally in charge. Right.
Speaker 1: The clickbait headlines that they come up with over what
Speaker 1: I'm saying on.
Speaker 2: This podcast shock even me after thirty years. I'm like, what, Like,
Speaker 2: I made a joke one time.
Speaker 1: I should know better, right, but it's hard. I'm here talking.
Speaker 1: It's very intimate, do you know what I mean? I
Speaker 1: made a joke saying that Sarah Jessica was still mad
Speaker 1: about the bridesmaid's dresses I made. I didn't make it
Speaker 1: war that Pat made her wear in Charlotte's wedding. They're
Speaker 1: like headlines, Sara Jessica's still mad at Kristin. I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, joke you guys, yeah, I mean, it's insane, It.
Speaker 3: Is really crazy. So anyway, with this, this reporter said,
Speaker 3: and what he printed was vocal that he says of Bergen.
Speaker 3: It's probably because he's on Baywatch and that's not sane much,
Speaker 3: so it really looks like I put him down. Oh no,
Speaker 3: I never would have done that. We were friends, but
Speaker 3: again we have not spoken since that time.
Speaker 2: Oh no, oh, I wish we could fix that. It's
Speaker 2: the worst.
Speaker 1: Feeling in the world when something like this happens and
Speaker 1: you can't con troll it because you're You're just a
Speaker 1: nice person in the middle of this insanity. You know, naive,
Speaker 1: well naive, but also even I mean, I'm not naive anymore,
Speaker 1: but I still say stuff that still happens, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that I think is fine because I know what I mean, right,
Speaker 1: But in print it can look a different way if
Speaker 1: they want to make it look a different way, right,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. So so tell me what you remember
Speaker 1: about filming the whole sequence, because obviously my favorite part
Speaker 1: is when you get back to Carrie's and you're like,
Speaker 1: can we just get lay here?
Speaker 2: Can we just cuddle? I don't know what you say.
Speaker 2: It is the cutest thing in the world. I think
Speaker 2: you're incredible.
Speaker 3: Not my lines, but yeah, I mean it was it
Speaker 3: was fun experience that day. I don't remember too much
Speaker 3: about that day, except for us having to wait a
Speaker 3: long time because like some of the girls, I don't know,
Speaker 3: there was a scene. I don't know. Maybe if you
Speaker 3: said you weren't there, then it wasn't the scene with
Speaker 3: all of you, but it was the scene with one
Speaker 3: of the others with other kin Control or Synthianni, where
Speaker 3: we had to wait a while because they were take
Speaker 3: after take after take of the same this.
Speaker 2: Is the way, this is the way.
Speaker 3: And quite ironically and our scene we never did anything
Speaker 3: more than four times. I don't think any more than.
Speaker 2: Four takes you that's amazing.
Speaker 3: But so I don't remember much about that day. I
Speaker 3: remember about being on the bed with her, just being
Speaker 3: in the apartment, moving around from the kitchen, over to
Speaker 3: the bookshelf and into the bed. But I remember that
Speaker 3: when it came time for the pan the panning up
Speaker 3: from the floor like the morning after, and I'm lying
Speaker 3: beside her, and Alison McLean was the director. I just
Speaker 3: remember to have this idea to really hide myself to
Speaker 3: that you don't even know that I'm in the bed,
Speaker 3: which is super when the camera's panning up and uh,
Speaker 3: and then you finally see me in the phone rings
Speaker 3: and it's really Stanford. Yeah yeah, oh god, God rest
Speaker 3: his soul.
Speaker 2: I know, I know I was going to get right.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about him yet.
Speaker 3: But anyway, I just remember that and it's just a
Speaker 3: really super nice day and I was I was a
Speaker 3: little bit nervous, and I asked Sarah like how am
Speaker 3: I doing? And she's like, you're great, and she's again
Speaker 3: very supporting.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me about Willy. What do
Speaker 1: you remember about Willie? Because the scene where you're in
Speaker 1: the fashion show when they come to see you, it
Speaker 1: is so so good.
Speaker 3: I don't remember much about William. I think we shot
Speaker 3: that scene in a club called Cameo.
Speaker 2: Okay. I was wondering where.
Speaker 3: Was interesting off of what was that third half?
Speaker 2: And you, I don't know. I didn't get to go
Speaker 2: there and the whole beginning.
Speaker 1: In terms of like locations, I was just like, I
Speaker 1: don't know where we are?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Are you from out here?
Speaker 1: I am from South Carolina and I had moved here
Speaker 1: right before, maybe like three years before the show, maybe more,
Speaker 1: but I did Melrose here, so I was already working
Speaker 1: here with Darren and then I got the show, but
Speaker 1: I had lived there first and then here. But I
Speaker 1: don't seem like it, Like when I see the pilot,
Speaker 1: I'm like that that girl that know nothing about New York.
Speaker 1: That's what I think to myself, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: It evolved though, as you said, it evolved, It evolved
Speaker 1: for sure. But I mean I remember, like when I
Speaker 1: look back now, because I had not seen these episodes
Speaker 1: in almost thirty years. I saw them in the when
Speaker 1: they first were made. They would send us phs tapes
Speaker 1: and we would excitedly watch them. But those bars and
Speaker 1: clubs whatever, I mean, they look like they look like
Speaker 1: we just found a basement and threw some people in it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: But is that is that what they were? Like?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: Are they real? I mean, is Cameo like a real place?
Speaker 3: That was a real club?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: I don't think i'd ever been I'd maybe been there
Speaker 3: for one other event, but yeah, it was actually near
Speaker 3: my house because I lived on tenth in the Universe City.
Speaker 3: Actually funny right near Christopher bump into him a few times.
Speaker 2: But also what a great address. That's dreamy, Albert. How great?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you go on the show. It goes, well,
Speaker 1: you think you're going to be an episode eight.
Speaker 2: They had told you this.
Speaker 3: I was put on a veil, okay, and it canceled
Speaker 3: I think three weeks before.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't even remember what episode eight is neither interesting.
Speaker 3: You should have watched it again.
Speaker 2: Darn it, don't know. That's okay? But and then you
Speaker 2: never heard anything else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were discussed. Yeah, I want to come back
Speaker 3: in one of the movies. I thought maybe they'd called
Speaker 3: me back. Maybe Derek comes back, and he's not not
Speaker 3: so much of a nice guy.
Speaker 1: And so many things, so many things. And then, I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like we talked about you forever and everybody
Speaker 1: was always like, where's Derek.
Speaker 2: Where's Derek?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Where is he?
Speaker 2: What happened to him? Why can't we see him?
Speaker 3: I remember being at the second year, the wrap party
Speaker 3: for your second season, and all of the girls, all
Speaker 3: of you were the bone.
Speaker 1: The yes because we were always just talking about you
Speaker 1: and waiting for you to come back.
Speaker 3: I missed you, girls. I mean I cried. Actually, you
Speaker 3: know the last day of my third day of filming
Speaker 3: was at Silver Cup Studios, Yes, and I asked to
Speaker 3: be dropped off I mean I was being dropped off
Speaker 3: at like five thirty in the morning. That's how we
Speaker 3: rolled in the night of shooting. Yes, and I asked
Speaker 3: to be dropped off two and a half blocks or
Speaker 3: three blocks from my house and and I just remember
Speaker 3: fully crying, and I had this little video camera with me,
Speaker 3: and I was filming myself. I was doing a selfie
Speaker 3: before selfie. Wow, filming myself crying because I was just
Speaker 3: it was so emotional. I had such a nice time
Speaker 3: and a fun time doing that.
Speaker 4: And yeah, so wow, wow, Well we missed out by
Speaker 4: not having you back because your energy in that episode
Speaker 4: with her, because she's so kind of you know, she's thinking,
Speaker 4: and she's so kind of crackly and you know, together
Speaker 4: and you're just.
Speaker 1: So simple but also so beautiful. Like it's such an
Speaker 1: interesting contrast.
Speaker 2: And then also Willie's.
Speaker 1: So like, you know, uh into you, and you know,
Speaker 1: doing his whole stick really like you know of like
Speaker 1: I'm your manager, but I'm really in love with you.
Speaker 2: There's just so much great stuff.
Speaker 1: I wish that we had had a better My memory
Speaker 1: of the first season is that we didn't know if
Speaker 1: we were a comedy or if we were supposed to
Speaker 1: be pushing the sexuality.
Speaker 2: So like one week Darren would say like funny, everyone
Speaker 2: has to be funny, come on, be.
Speaker 1: Funny, and we would just be like, uh, did you
Speaker 1: change the script or we're just supposed to be funnier
Speaker 1: with what's written, Like what do you mean?
Speaker 2: And then the next week you'd be like sexy er
Speaker 2: and I'd.
Speaker 1: Be like me, me, me, like really, like there's no
Speaker 1: I'm not okay, but what you know, we were very much.
Speaker 3: I mean, it got it work so well, it did.
Speaker 1: I mean it worked well eventually, I think because HBO
Speaker 1: allowed us to flail around like that.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Actually, it's funny. They cut one line from my whole,
Speaker 3: from everything that I did in those three days, and
Speaker 3: maybe it was too risky. At the moment break before
Speaker 3: we Sarah and I get into the cab to go
Speaker 3: to her apartment, I said, you know, I can't take
Speaker 3: these crowds, you know, to me whatever, I need to
Speaker 3: get out of here. And I said, I have a joint.
Speaker 3: I didn't cut that before you get in the cab,
Speaker 3: and they cut that. Yeah, that's so that's too risque.
Speaker 3: That was too pushing the pushing it too far for.
Speaker 2: That that's crazy.
Speaker 3: First ever episode after the pilot.
Speaker 1: That's so crazy because it makes perfect sense. Also, I
Speaker 1: do think that might be the last time I remember
Speaker 1: her talking to camera because you get in the cab
Speaker 1: and then she has to like turn isn't that when
Speaker 1: she has to turn over.
Speaker 2: The cab and talk to the camera, which is so
Speaker 2: awkward and weird. There's a lot of fans who were like,
Speaker 2: we love the talking to the camera, but can you
Speaker 2: imagine like you're doing a scene and then you just
Speaker 2: have to be like love blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Like it's very very strange as an actor, very strange. Okay,
Speaker 1: so let's get back to you. So you do this,
Speaker 1: you're sad, which breaks my heart. I wish we had
Speaker 1: had more sense. I don't think we had a plan.
Speaker 1: I think we were just rolling with it. Obviously a
Speaker 1: mistake on our part.
Speaker 2: What did you do? What went on? Did you model more?
Speaker 2: Did you no?
Speaker 3: I mean I I modeled a little bit. I mean
Speaker 3: the big mistake that I did was I was at
Speaker 3: a movie premiere party one time and I went with
Speaker 3: a casting director named Todd Taylor and anyway, not important,
Speaker 3: but somebody from William Morris saw me and saw me
Speaker 3: there with Todd and and wanted to have a meeting
Speaker 3: with me to go and and meet with them for representation.
Speaker 3: And I made the big mistake of making that lead
Speaker 3: that jumped to William Morris because that was yah. And
Speaker 3: and also I just booked something with J. Michael Bloom
Speaker 3: and it's it's great, little small someone told me, you know,
Speaker 3: strike while the kettle's hot.
Speaker 2: They're not wrong.
Speaker 3: It just was the wrong move. Really regret doing that.
Speaker 3: And then and then that piece that came out really
Speaker 3: hurt me. It really hurt my confidence too, and it's
Speaker 3: just so yeah, so it was a kind of threw
Speaker 3: me off course a little bit. But of course I
Speaker 3: modeled a little bit here and there, because I mean
Speaker 3: I was officially retired. But but you know, they throw
Speaker 3: some really good money at you to do something like
Speaker 3: all right, sure, you know, I'll do the Carolina Herrera
Speaker 3: fragrance too on to launch the campaign. And yeah, so
Speaker 3: I did that for a while. I feel like I
Speaker 3: just basically partied in New York for six years.
Speaker 2: Also, I don't think you were alone. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: that was what people did.
Speaker 3: Yeah nights, I mean I remember many, many, many a
Speaker 3: day awake you have at two or three pm? Wow,
Speaker 3: So you know, I had just come off of working
Speaker 3: really successfully in the in the fashion world and and
Speaker 3: just uh, I don't know, just having fun in the city. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: having sex in the city too, So I'm.
Speaker 2: Sure you did. Now let me ask you this. Did
Speaker 2: you know Candice Bushnell before?
Speaker 3: I did?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 3: I met her on set? I think that first.
Speaker 4: Day got it.
Speaker 2: And then were you guys friends? Did you? We don't
Speaker 2: say too much, sorry.
Speaker 3: We know we became friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, cool, because.
Speaker 1: I know the pictures of you out there and I
Speaker 1: didn't know maybe she knew you before because she did
Speaker 1: know everybody, you know, she didn't know everyone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's a fun girl. Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And did you feel at the time had you read
Speaker 1: her column in the book, like did you know the.
Speaker 3: Whole nothing about it before and got it?
Speaker 1: So you didn't necessarily know, oh this was this was
Speaker 1: Candace's life that it was based on.
Speaker 2: You didn't really realize.
Speaker 3: I think I was learning that on set that day,
Speaker 3: got it. If I was even paying attention to that,
Speaker 3: I think there was just more paying attention to being
Speaker 3: in the city you had to do. Yeah, but obviously
Speaker 3: learned that at some point afterwards interest and that got
Speaker 3: the book. Well, she gave me a copy of the book. Sure,
Speaker 3: and yeah, so it was She's Yeah, fond memories of her.
Speaker 3: She's she's a fun, crazy character.
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, most definitely.
Speaker 1: I mean she created something incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly so. And then Darren Starr did you.
Speaker 3: So I didn't know Darren either, and wonderful meeting him.
Speaker 3: And I just remember, remember when I finished, I sent
Speaker 3: flowers to Darren and to Sarah, thanking them for a
Speaker 3: wonderful experience.
Speaker 2: You're like too good to be in this world.
Speaker 3: I don't feel I was so good at the time. Actually,
Speaker 3: I feel like life is almost imitated art since doing
Speaker 3: those scenes.
Speaker 2: Wow, because hey, I.
Speaker 3: Was not shy and apprehensive with women.
Speaker 2: Got it? I mean I was like, you know, I
Speaker 2: understand you were feeling your power.
Speaker 3: Traveling all over the world.
Speaker 2: Definitely fed into got it my lifestyle.
Speaker 1: Well that is interesting because that's what was so disarming
Speaker 1: about you on camera is that you were so beautiful
Speaker 1: and we are introduced to you in the modeling world
Speaker 1: and Stanford like gushing over you, and then you're just
Speaker 1: like disarmingly like real and like this is overwhelming, and
Speaker 1: you know, you don't see that coming at all. Like
Speaker 1: I didn't really even remember how good it was, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, so many things. I don't remember how good.
Speaker 1: I had kind of thought, oh, the first season, we
Speaker 1: just didn't know what we were doing.
Speaker 2: When I look back on it and I'm like, no, there's
Speaker 2: everything's amazing. They're not.
Speaker 1: It's not gelled one hundred percent how it would end
Speaker 1: up being. But it's all there and all working, you know,
Speaker 1: and you especially, and then for some reason we just
Speaker 1: talk about you forever and Willie talks about your Stanford.
Speaker 1: Everyone's mixed up in my mind right, the real person
Speaker 1: and the fake person.
Speaker 2: But you know, I remember.
Speaker 1: Talking about you, and I like, you know, do you
Speaker 1: know every outfit at s ATC.
Speaker 2: It's on the Instagram.
Speaker 3: It's the Instagram, every outfit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you don't know them.
Speaker 1: They they have we love we know them, we love them.
Speaker 1: They have a thing that began they had gone I
Speaker 1: think to Pratt. They had gone to fashion school, and
Speaker 1: they loved Pat Field and her creativity and kind of like,
Speaker 1: you know, really incredible uniqueness of our costume design. And
Speaker 1: they started a thing where they would analyze every outfit
Speaker 1: that was how they began.
Speaker 2: I think they're called.
Speaker 1: Just every outfit now they ended up going now they're
Speaker 1: a podcast.
Speaker 2: They first they were just Instagram.
Speaker 1: They used to talk about you a lot, like they're
Speaker 1: going to be very jealous that I have.
Speaker 3: You have an outfit on this.
Speaker 1: I think they must have discussed or they must have
Speaker 1: discussed like where did you go?
Speaker 2: Why only ever get you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have.
Speaker 1: Theories of what happened to you? Did you move to Iowa?
Speaker 1: Do we say in the show that you moved to Iowa?
Speaker 1: I think we might.
Speaker 3: I don't know, we might.
Speaker 2: I think Derek quits the business.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to move to Iowa and be a cop,
Speaker 3: have kids and be a cop.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we say, which is crazy and weird.
Speaker 2: It must have been based on something I.
Speaker 3: Know I was. I was Stanford's only client ever on
Speaker 3: the show, right correct you saw?
Speaker 1: Yes, Yes you were, and literally I think the only
Speaker 1: one we ever heard of for a long time until
Speaker 1: and just like that, and then he had another client
Speaker 1: that then he goes to Kyoto and becomes a monk,
Speaker 1: which you know, we unfortunately had to do. I wanted
Speaker 1: him to have a you know, a fictional place where
Speaker 1: we could picture him at peace.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was that was our idea, per sweet Willy.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to cry.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, but thank you, oh your hands let
Speaker 1: me okay, so let me ask you, how on earth
Speaker 1: did you get into real estate?
Speaker 3: I got into real estate. It was just a moment
Speaker 3: of being.
Speaker 2: Out here and really, you moved out here.
Speaker 3: Well, I moved out here in two thousand and three.
Speaker 3: Actually I probably never should have left New York. Oh,
Speaker 3: I mean I should have stayed for a little while longer.
Speaker 3: But anyway, it was this opportunity. A bunch of my
Speaker 3: friends had moved out here, and I just came out.
Speaker 3: I actually booked a ticket to come out, but I
Speaker 3: didn't pay for it. I let it expire, and then
Speaker 3: magically got booked on a job that weekend to shoot
Speaker 3: another little editorial with Matthew Ralston.
Speaker 2: This photographer I know, Matthew Ralston.
Speaker 1: He filled one of our crazy promos in the white
Speaker 1: Hat where we have to lip sync.
Speaker 2: Oh great, yeah, yeah, he's great.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So came out that weekend and he took me
Speaker 3: for a high cup running canyon and I was just
Speaker 3: looking out on the city and I said, Wow, this
Speaker 3: is really nice and I love nature so much.
Speaker 2: And I ended up here too. Yeah, not Matthew Rolson,
Speaker 2: but similar.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: So my friends said, you know, Andrea, I think you
Speaker 3: belong here. I said, okay, basically I went back to
Speaker 3: New York, was going to Italy for my summer vacation.
Speaker 3: But basically two months after being back from that vacation,
Speaker 3: I closed up shop and I moved that.
Speaker 2: Wow wow wow.
Speaker 3: And I'd already been living in Borham Hill for one year.
Speaker 3: I sold my apartment on Tenth Street, moved to Borham Hell,
Speaker 3: thinking I would rebuy somewhere else in Manhattan, and never did.
Speaker 3: Once one foot was out, the other left.
Speaker 2: As I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1: I just think New York is an interesting thing because
Speaker 1: on the one hand, obviously I'm back there all the
Speaker 1: time and I do love it.
Speaker 2: But I love living here too.
Speaker 3: You know, it's so crazy. It is hectic there.
Speaker 1: It is you can get a little worn out. So
Speaker 1: you're a real estate agent in the policy.
Speaker 3: Yes, so tell us, Yes, I came out it was
Speaker 3: a real estate agent and you will be again. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, let's hope. I mean the office is still standing, miraculously.
Speaker 3: Everything around it burned unbelievable. Everything except for Caddy Corner
Speaker 3: is the start of Recruso's village or that long line
Speaker 3: of shops there.
Speaker 1: Yes, but maybe his guys like put the fire hose
Speaker 1: over on your building.
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: We got some overspray from when he was maybe maybe,
Speaker 3: but yeah, So been doing that and I don't know
Speaker 3: when I'll be back in the Palisades. I mean, I
Speaker 3: really loved going there because many times I live in
Speaker 3: Venice Beach, I'll hop on my motorcycle and just shoot
Speaker 3: up and right up the pch and up Chicago and office,
Speaker 3: and I really loved that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to happen again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to take a while, but that's how
Speaker 1: I feel.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but at least you didn't live there, so so
Speaker 1: that's good and good that that you're okay. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I feel for everybody obviously.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I've been doing this for four and a half
Speaker 3: years after so I was getting to how I got
Speaker 3: into it. I had just been volunteering so much time
Speaker 3: for so many different causes, environmental causes, political activism, working
Speaker 3: on presidential campaigns, and even on the Obama reelection campaign.
Speaker 3: I trained people to come into that campaign and how
Speaker 3: to speak to people and how to phone call, and
Speaker 3: so I was just sort of at a point where
Speaker 3: I'm so depleted. I mean, I haven't done anything for myself.
Speaker 3: I haven't made any money in so long. So decided
Speaker 3: I was walking by some open houses and went into one,
Speaker 3: and I saw the price and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: this is how much they cost now, because you know,
Speaker 3: I had bought mine years before, and decided, yeah, maybe
Speaker 3: I'll get my real estate license and sell houses. Coolso
Speaker 3: aren't you still filming the reboot right now?
Speaker 4: We are.
Speaker 1: We don't call it reboot, Yes, we call it a continuation.
Speaker 1: I think I think that's our official work because it's
Speaker 1: not we're not it's not Sex and City and just
Speaker 1: like that. And we have new characters, which is nice,
Speaker 1: and it's we're just trying to be where those people
Speaker 1: would be in their lives. So obviously we're not dating necessarily,
Speaker 1: though Miranda has blown her life up and is.
Speaker 2: Dating, but it's very different. We're not.
Speaker 1: It's not about finding love in the way that Sex
Speaker 1: and City was about. It's about aging and your relationships,
Speaker 1: and you're figuring yourself out as you go still.
Speaker 2: Because it never really ends, does it.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, I don't know if I described that well,
Speaker 1: but yes, we are still filming.
Speaker 3: Well I have to see it. I mean, was it
Speaker 3: already second or third?
Speaker 2: Where the third is coming?
Speaker 1: It hasn't come yet, which is somewhat miraculous that we're
Speaker 1: getting to do it, you know, like it's obviously every
Speaker 1: time everyone thinks I think, I don't really know what
Speaker 1: people think, but it seems like everyone thinks that were
Speaker 1: you know, this big franchise, and people just give us things,
Speaker 1: you know, here, do a movie, here, do another show. No,
Speaker 1: every single time we have to go repitch. We have
Speaker 1: to kind of basically like come like please, you know,
Speaker 1: please every single time. Because we're you know, we're a
Speaker 1: female based franchise. It just doesn't really happen that much,
Speaker 1: you know. I can't think of another one that really
Speaker 1: has happened.
Speaker 2: So we're very lucky.
Speaker 3: The success that this show had is just crazy, because
Speaker 3: it is crazy. Also, I was in Sedona, Arizona, a
Speaker 3: year and a half ago. No, actually it was, was it? No,
Speaker 3: it was spring twenty twenty four and went to the
Speaker 3: Devil's Bridge, which is this hike.
Speaker 2: And I've been there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, did you walk out on it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: It's scary. It's scary. Yeah, those winds, it's like hectic.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So we were walking back and trying to I
Speaker 3: was trying to find the parking We were trying to
Speaker 3: find the parking lot with a friend of mine, and
Speaker 3: this other group was with us, and there was this
Speaker 3: younger girl and this other guy and anyway, at some point,
Speaker 3: this guy comes up to me and said, Hey, I
Speaker 3: just have to ask you a question from my niece.
Speaker 3: She's seventeen.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: She wants to know were you on Sex and the City. Wow?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I a seventeen year old, you know.
Speaker 2: I know, it's amazing.
Speaker 3: It's netflixing new and still recognized me.
Speaker 2: I don't know how that's impressive.
Speaker 4: I love that time.
Speaker 2: Ye, yeah, I love it. I know it is really odd,
Speaker 2: on on and on.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is crazy and really hard to even like
Speaker 1: let really fully sink in sometimes, you know, Like that's
Speaker 1: part of the reason I did this podcast is because
Speaker 1: when I'm out in the world, the different people who
Speaker 1: come and talk to me, it's just amazing, you know.
Speaker 1: And I thought this is so lucky and unusual and
Speaker 1: obviously we really worked hard, obviously, but you know, it's
Speaker 1: just you can really work hard and it still won't
Speaker 1: happen that way. You know, like it's not always in
Speaker 1: relationship to how hard you work, but you couldn't find
Speaker 1: the people who care about it more.
Speaker 2: You know, a group of people who care about it more.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I said that sounds right, but
Speaker 1: like all my podcast people are.
Speaker 2: Like, everyone cares so much.
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, this is why we continue to do
Speaker 1: it and why.
Speaker 2: We loved it. You know, we lived like our baby.
Speaker 1: We loved it so much, and the fact that it
Speaker 1: lives on is really amazing. And that's why I'm doing
Speaker 1: this to kind of bring everyone together and share our
Speaker 1: memories and also create community in terms of like all
Speaker 1: the new people watching it versus all the original people
Speaker 1: who watched it. And I feel like it's a bridge
Speaker 1: and there's so few of those in today's world, you know,
Speaker 1: where you can kind of connect people of different generations,
Speaker 1: from different places, of different ethnicities. Everybody has, you know,
Speaker 1: opinions and feelings about it, and I love that. So
Speaker 1: let me ask you a really weird question. I haven't
Speaker 1: asked a man this yet. Are you a Charlotte?
Speaker 3: Oh I was. I looked up the background of your
Speaker 3: character on the show.
Speaker 2: Actually you never.
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, I'm slowly becoming a Charlotte like that transition. Okay,
Speaker 3: for the past ten or twelve years, I get it.
Speaker 2: That's how it is. You can be one and then
Speaker 2: you transition to another.
Speaker 3: Relationship started getting longer. Yeah, wanting more to settle down
Speaker 3: someone nice. But it's not always so easy.
Speaker 2: It's not easy. I'm singles. I fully understand.
Speaker 1: I fully understand me too, right, But I mean, this
Speaker 1: is the thing I think is important.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a Charlotte. I wouldn't think
Speaker 1: badly if you said no, no, I'm a Samantha.
Speaker 2: I'd be like cool, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: They all have their own thing, And I think part
Speaker 1: of it is just like owning who you are, right,
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's owning the changes that are happening.
Speaker 2: Also, you are such a sweetheart to come back.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so nice, and we really really were so
Speaker 5: stupid not to have you back. Sorry, say love, say
Speaker 5: love you for sure, But I just want to be
Speaker 5: the boring to say that now because I'm here and
Speaker 5: you know, I think I just feel like when I watched,
Speaker 5: I was like, it was such a different note that
Speaker 5: you brought, like a different energy, a different vibe that
Speaker 5: I felt like we needed, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It was really wonderful and I was so happy to
Speaker 3: be a part of the experience.
