Kristin Davis has been working steadily as an actress for several decades at this stage, with her first credit as per IMDb being 1988’s “Doom Asylum,” but her biggest role by far is Charlotte on “Sex and the City.” The beloved show was a formative experience for women all over the world. For Davis herself, “SATC” proved imperative not just for her career but her life, too. Without the success it brought, Davis might not be here.

“I don’t think I would be alive,” she revealed, during an appearance on podcast “Origins with James Andrew Miller,” via EW. Davis elaborated, “I’m a recovering alcoholic. If I hadn’t found acting… acting is the only thing that made me want to ever get sober. I didn’t have anything that was that important to me other than trying to dull my senses.” Despite how popular “SATC” inevitably was, and how much of an impact it made on Davis, she was actually in another major show long before it.
