Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What's the name of the main costume designer for the series?

Answer: Patricia Field

Patricia Field is actually credited as costume designer for thirty-five episodes, from 1999 - 2004. She is also the mastermind behind costumes in the 2006 film "The Devil Wears Prada".

2. Actress Cynthia Nixon is a natural blonde.

Answer: True

Her hair was dyed red to play her character, Miranda!

3. Of the four female stars in the series, which actress was the only one to have a 'no full nudity' clause in her contract?

Answer: Sarah Jessica Parker

This is why her character, Carrie, is never shown in anything less than underwear (whereas all the other main female characters were shown in much less).

4. Which line from the show was ranked number thirteen in TV Guide's list of "TV's 20 Top Catchphrases" in August 2005?

Answer: He's just not that into you!

In season six, Carrie's boyfriend Jack Berger (played by actor Ron Livingston) spoke the words "He's just not that into you" only twice, but it obviously made as much as an impact on audiences as it did to Miranda in the episode!

5. From the end of season four and onwards, Sarah Jessica Parker's name was shown with which New York landmark in the opening credits?

Answer: Empire State Building

From the pilot through to the 12th episode of the season four, her name was shown with the World Trade Centre towers.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the USA and the collapse of the towers, her name was shown with the Empire State Building in the background. The same occurred with the main title of the show.

6. Why were there only eight episodes in series five?

Answer: Sarah Jessica Parker was pregnant

As Sarah Jessica Parker was pregnant (but her character wasn't) the series was made significantly shorter due to her inevitably growing bump.
You can see her bump becoming more noticeable with each episode - she's subtly dressed in baggier clothes than before to disguise it.

7. In episode 'Escape from New York', Matthew McConaughey's part was originally written for which actor?

Answer: Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin declined this offer, so the producers contacted George Clooney who, although interested, was unable to commit to it. The script was then also declined by Warren Beatty, and so eventually offered to Matthew McConaughey.

8. Darren Star wrote every episode of "Sex and the City".

Answer: False

He was executive producer for nineteen episodes in 1999-2000, and did write many episodes but not all of them. Episode 47 ('What goes around comes Around') was the last episode he wrote.

9. Which actress does not have pierced ears, and so wore clip-ons throughout the show?

Answer: Cynthia Nixon

All of her earrings worn on the show were clip-ons! Sometimes the costume designers would even send earrings to jewelers, asking them to make special clip-on versions for her.

10. "Sex and the City" became so popular that a tour bus was setup to see the New York locations featured in the series.

Answer: True

These weekend tours have more than forty locations to see and go to, including Carrie's apartment stoop, the church where Samantha meets "The Friar" and you can even have a cupcake in the bakery where Miranda and Carrie discussed crushes!
