Kristin Lee Davis, a talented actress, was born on February 23, 1965, in Boulder, Colorado. Due to her parents' divorce shortly after her birth, she was adopted by her stepfather, Keith Davis, a renowned psychology professor, who married her mother, Dorothy, a university data analyst, in 1968. As an only child, Kristin grew up with her parents in Columbia, South Carolina, where her stepfather was transferred to a university.
During her childhood, Kristin's family relocated to South Carolina, where she spent most of her formative years until she graduated high school in 1983. After completing her secondary education, she moved to New Jersey to attend Rutgers University. Following her graduation, Kristin relocated to New York City, where she worked as a waitress before co-founding a yoga studio with a friend.
Kristin's breakthrough in the entertainment industry came in 1995 when she landed the role of Brooke Armstrong Campbell on the popular television series Melrose Place, which premiered in 1992. However, she left the show after just one year due to audience backlash against her character. Undeterred, Kristin continued to pursue her acting career and was subsequently cast as Charlotte York in the hit HBO series Sex and the City in 1998.
Throughout her tenure on Sex and the City, which concluded in 2004, Kristin became an integral part of the show's cast, playing the lovable and charming Charlotte York. After the series ended, Kristin continued to work in the entertainment industry, eventually making Los Angeles her home.
