Charlotte York, the romantic optimist of 'Sex and the City' (1998-2004), turned Kristin Davis into one of the defining television faces of her era, a role she carried into two films and the sequel series 'And Just Like That...' (2021). Born in Boulder, Colorado in 1965 and raised in South Carolina, she trained in theatre at Rutgers and first drew attention as the scheming Brooke in 'Melrose Place' (1995-1996). Outside Manhattan she leaned into family comedy with 'The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl' (2005), 'Couples Retreat' (2009) and 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island' (2012). Polished warmth with comic self-awareness is her register.
