“Through her books and television series, Candace Bushnell's work has influenced and defined two generations of women. Her story is a witty, wise, entertaining look at sex, dating and friendship in New York City at the age of fifty. We invite audiences to meet the “real Carrie Bradshaw”. says Hazel Feldman, from Showtime Management.
