The Role You Likely Forgot Blue Bloods' Bridget Moynahan Had On Sex And The City

Bridget Moynahan made her big debut on the small screen in a guest role on "Sex and the City" as Natasha Naginski in Season 2, Episode 13 ("Twenty-Something Girls vs. Thirty-Something Women"). Natasha is the second wife of John James Preston, aka Mr. Big (Chris Noth), who chose her over Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker). Later, she catches Carrie having an affair with her husband. She appeared in the series a total of seven times, and she even reprised the role in the sequel series "And Just Like That..." in Season 1, Episode 3 ("When in Rome").

She spoke to Entertainment Tonight about bringing Natasha back to the small screen for "And Just Like That..." and reflected on how much of an impact the role has had on her career overall, saying, "They really, you know, kind of kickstarted my career, right? Like that and 'Coyote Ugly' started at the same time so they always have a special place in my heart." Her efforts on "Sex and the City" have really paid off, and it's fascinating to learn that it started with a simple line. In an interview on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Moynahan revealed that when she auditioned for the role of Natasha, she was given just one line: "Nice to meet you." Her delivery of that small piece of dialogue helped launch a successful career with several noteworthy performances that eventually led to Moynahan's impressive run as Erin Reagan on "Blue Bloods."
