Kristin Davis: From 'Doom Asylum' to SATC Star—Unrecognizable Throwback Reveals Early Career

Sex And The City's Kristin Davis proved herself to be versatile as she gave fans a glimpse into the early days of her career, before SATC when she played psychology student Jane in 1988 comedy slasher Doom Asylum

SPOILER ALERT: Kristin Davis Spills Tea on Sex and the City, Body Image, and Her Early Days as a Hollywood Star

Get ready for some juicy gossip from the world of Sex and the City! Kristin Davis, aka Park Avenue Princess Charlotte York Goldenblatt, is dishing out the tea on her early days in Hollywood, body image struggles, and the drama that went down behind the scenes.

In an Instagram post that has left fans gagging, Kristin shared a throwback photo from her appearance as psychology student Jane in the 1988 comedy slasher Doom Asylum. The unrecognizable pic shows Kristin rocking a kooky look with oversized glasses and a turquoise bodysuit, while her signature glossy hair was worn in a dramatic backcombed style.

But what's even more interesting is the caption she attached to it: "This is how I got into the union, a low-budget horror film. Happy Labor Day!" It seems Kristin is referencing how she became a member of the main actors' union SAG-AFTRA, which requires an actor to work one full day as a principal or three days as a background actor.

But let's get to the good stuff! In a recent interview, Kristin opened up about her body image struggles and the comments made by her co-star Sarah Jessica Parker (aka Carrie Bradshaw). According to Kristin, SJP would often tell her that she had body dysmorphia, but Kristin didn't agree.

"I'd be like, 'I don't think I do,' because the world is literally telling me daily that I am pear-shaped. So much to the point where you can't think straight," Kristin confessed. She revealed that she would go to extremes with her diet, even fainting in a parking lot one time due to starvation.

Sex And The City ran from 1998 to 2004 with 94 episodes across six series with two movies (PICTURED: L-R Kristin as Charlotte York, Cynthia Nixon as Miranda Hobbes, Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw and Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones)

But it's not just the physical toll of being in the spotlight that Kristin has struggled with – it's also the emotional weight of constant scrutiny. "There was a good number of years when... people would see me on the street and they would say, 'Oh, but you're not fat.' And I know they didn't mean anything bad," she said.

However, these back-handed compliments took a toll on Kristin's self-esteem. "It's because I'm standing next to Sarah Jessica. Or, 'You're prettier in person.' And I'm just like, well, okay." She confessed that it's challenging to remember that she doesn't have to conform to societal beauty standards.

But what about the fillers? In an interview with thescholarlynote.com, Kristin spoke candidly about her experiences with fillers, saying: "I've had to get them dissolved and I've been ridiculed relentlessly. And I have shed tears about it. It's very stressful."

Her new post comes after Kristin spoke in an interview about her body image and a comment made by her co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, who played Carrie Bradshaw (pictured with Sarah Jessica in 2003)

It seems that Kristin has finally found a way to prioritize her own happiness and well-being, even if it means shedding some of the drama that came with being a Hollywood star.

As we all know, Sex and the City was a cultural phenomenon during its six-season run from 1998 to 2004. The show's impact was so significant that it spawned two movies (in 2008 and 2010) and a spin-off series, And Just Like That, which premiered in 2021.

But what fans may not know is that Kristin's journey to stardom began much earlier than her SATC days. Her early roles included appearances in low-budget horror films like Doom Asylum, where she played the character of Jane – a psychology student with a quirky style and a penchant for oversized glasses.

So there you have it – the inside scoop on Kristin Davis's journey to stardom, body image struggles, and her thoughts on fillers. It seems that this SATC star has finally found her voice and is ready to dish out the tea on all things Hollywood!

Kristin explained that her self-esteem, at the time, was also derailed by back-handed compliments from fans out in public (pictured in 2000)
