Kristin Davis has cemented her place in TV history with her iconic role as Charlotte York in Sex and The City’s series, two films and spin-off, And Just Like That.
The actress, 59, has won millions of fans worldwide with her portrayal of Charlotte, the sweet and hopeful longtime singleton who finally found love with lawyer Harry Goldenblatt.
Before shooting to fame with her signature role, Davis had a series of minor roles in TV shows including General Hospital, ER and Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman.
In 1995, she landed a small walk-on role in a hotly-hyped rom-com starring a host of Hollywood A-listers including Robin Williams – with Davis appearing onscreen for seven seconds and having two lines of dialogue.
That same year she also landed her major role as Brooke Armstrong in Melrose Place. Three years later she would star as York in SATC – which ran from 1998-2004.
So can you guess the 90s blockbuster?

It’s Nine Months! Davis appeared as the ‘Tennis Attendant’ in a scene with Hugh Grant and Jeff Goldblum in the film – which also starred Julianne Moore.
Nine Months – which marked Four Weddings and a Funeral star Grant’s first US starring role – tells the tale of child psychiatrist Samuel Faulkner (Grant) who learns he is expecting his first child with longterm girlfriend Rebecca (Moore).
Samuel struggles with uncertainty over welcoming the child and wondering what kind of father he will be – with Davis appearing in a critical scene between Samuel and best friend Sean Fletcher (Goldblum).
As lothario Sean reveals his own shock hopes for a family to a confused Samuel amid a break in a tennis match, Davis walks up and reminds the pair their membership fees are due as it is the first of the month.
A horrified Samuel realizes he has forgotten about Rebecca’s five month sonogram – where they will find out the sex of their baby – and races off.
In a 2009 interview with Elle, Grant shared his honest opinions about his female co-stars, insisting some aren’t his biggest fan.
The Hollywood icon said of Julianne: ‘Brilliant actress. Loathes me.’
Grant has also spoken disparagingly of his performance in Nine Months, stating in an interview with SAG-AFTRA: ‘I really ruined it. And it was entirely my fault.

‘I panicked, it was such a big jump up from what I’d been paid before to what they were offering me.’
‘And the scale was inhuman to my standards, you know the scale of the production, 20th Century Fox, the whole thing.
‘And I just tried much too hard, and you know I forgot to do basic acting things, like mean it. So I pulled faces and overacted, it was a shocker.’
On another occasion he said: ‘You know, having been paid £20,000 or whatever it was, to do Four Weddings and a Funeral, if you’re suddenly paid millions, you think well I better ramp up my performance by 200 times.
‘But all that means is that you overact grotesquely, which is what I did. So I’m always very apologetic to those people.’
Nine Months went on to gross $138.5 million worldwide and holds a mediocre Rotten Tomatoes rating of 27 per cent.
