Dana Delaney – Sex And The City

Have you ever seen Sex and the City? The TV show would simply not have been the same if Sarah Jessica Parker did not play Carrie Bradshaw. Despite this, the truth is that Dana Delaney nearly landed the role. By then, she had already portrayed similar characters in movies such as Live Nude Girls. She had also worked with Kim Cattrall in the past. Sadly, she ended up turning it down to work on TV movies such as Rescuers: Stories of Courage: Two Couples. Oops.
