Bitsy’s ready to show off her bits.
Broadway actress Julie Halston, 68, co-star on “Sex and the City” spinoff show “And Just Like That,” revealed to Variety she’s ready for her own steamy scene.
“I have pretty tits,” insisted Halston, who plays wealthy socialite Bitsy von Muffling.
“If [showrunner Michael Patrick King] said, ‘Hey, you wanna show your tits?’ I’d be like, ‘Uh, yeah!’ But they’d have to give me a little bit of advance notice so that I could pump up the arms a little bit. Even if it’s not a super sexy scene, it would be nice to see a big make-out scene or a big heavy romance.”
“And Just Like That” follows Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York-Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) as they navigate life, friendship, dating — and yes, sex — in their 50s.
Season 2 has been raising eyebrows for its raunchy scenes, as well as for notable guest appearances from SATC faves, including Carrie’s one-that-got-away ex, Aiden (John Corbett).
Bitsy first appeared on Season 5 of SATC, where she had a plot line around marrying lounge singer Bobby Fine (Nathan Lane).
Carrie was friends with Bobby, Samantha did PR for one of Bitsy’s events and Charlotte’s husband, Harry, was Bitsy’s divorce lawyer.
She turns up briefly in “And Just Like That” Season 1, when they run into her at brunch (and again at Big’s funeral).
In Season 2, she had a larger role in the fourth episode, when she sends Carrie a racy photo of a potential date’s genitals. (Bitsy is now a swinging single, after Bobby died during the pandemic.)
“I did see the photo beforehand, and I was like, ‘Oh, my!’” Halston told a reporter.
“People have actually said to me, ‘Do you think people really send photos like that?’ And I’m like, ‘What universe are you in? Of course they do. You know how many penis pics are out there? It’s crazy. I have had a number of showbiz people sending me penis pics, but then I’m like, ‘What do you want me to do with this?’”
On the show, Bitsy also brags about getting a face-lift that cost $100,000.
Halston said that people often ask her if she’s had work done in real life.
“It depends on who it is [asking],” she joked.
“Sometimes I just say, ‘Let’s put it this way, my forehead sometimes doesn’t move.’ But if it’s a true friend they’ll say something to me like, ‘Halston, why are you this age but you look better than me and I’m 10 years younger?’ I’ll say, ‘Here are my doctors.’ And then other times, I just say, ‘I’m half Sicilian!’”
