On figuring out who a young Carrie would be:Ĭandace: I do think that the character Carrie Bradshaw became quite iconic so the question is, was she born that way? Well, nobody is born that way. Read on to learn how Amy and Candace conceptualized the story of Carrie Bradshaw becoming the Carrie Bradshaw. Next, the creators of the show, author Candace Bushnell and Amy Harris (who wrote SATC, the book and show, respectively) explain everything that went into creating the backstory of a beloved character, from the fashion to friends to one heartthrob, Sebastian (played by Austin Butler of The Bling Ring).įun show teasers include the young Carrie, AnnaSophia Robb, wearing a curly blonde wig for wardrobing ease, a camel featuring in a photoshoot at some point in the first season, and the info that the actors were given Desperately Seeking Susan, Sixteen Candles, and other seminal eighties classics to understand what high school was like in 1984. First stop, the trailer (see it after the jump!). The Carrie Diaries, a prequel that chronicles the high school years of Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw, debuts in January on the CW, but not before an entire fall season of promoting goes down.
