Who is Kristin Davis?

Kristin Landen Davis is a famous American actress. She started dreaming of becoming an actress at nine and got an opportunity to work in a workshop theatre for ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’. To take a step forward to achieve her goals and accomplish her dreams, she graduated with a BFA degree in Acting from Rutgers University's ‘Mason Gross School of the Arts’. She started her acting career with a role in a daily soap, ‘General Hospital’ and an opportunity in the TV series, ‘Melrose Place’ catapulted her acting career further. She achieved great success for her role as Charlotte York Goldenblatt on HBO's ‘Sex and the City’. Her choice of role in films has been mediocre. Thus, films such as ‘Sour Grapes’, ‘Deck of Halls’, ‘The Shaggy Dog’, ‘Couple Retreat’ and ‘The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D’, have been blasted by critics, though some of them saw box-office success. This graceful actress has always been active in supporting charitable foundations. She has also been concerned about the issues related to women. Due to her love for animals, especially elephants, she has been supporting organizations that take care of animals.
