Kristin Davis was set up on a date with Matthew Perry
The Sex and the City actress has recalled how a mutual attorney friend she shared with the star - who tragically died aged 54 in 2023 - arrange for them to go on a blind date.
Speaking on iHeartRadio's Are You A Charlotte? podcast, she said: 'He's not my lawyer, but he's a nice lawyer, and I've been set up with Matthew Perry.
"And this is like '98, '99, '97 maybe. I feel like it was between Melrose Place, which I did before [Sex and the] City, and it was at a house. It was a dinner party. It was so low-key."
The party was filled with "a bunch of Hollywood people", but she can't remember any of the other guests.
She added: "I don't even know who was there other than this lawyer and Matthew."
Kristin enjoyed her time chatting to the Friends star, as he opened up about his experiences on the sitcom.
She recalled: 'Matthew's lovely. He sits next to me. And he's talking about how thrilled he is, how happy they are on the set at Friends, and he was doing a film with Salma Hayek.
"I was like, 'Wow, he's so happy.''
Although they didn't pursue anything romantic, the couple's conversation gave her pause for thought about her own career.
She explained: "I had been around Melrose and it wasn't the happiest place in a way.
"There were 15 series regulars. Everyone had the feeling they might get cut, so it was that competitive and stressy."
Things could have been very different, as Kristin previously revealed she actually auditioned for the role of Monica - who became the wife of Matthew's character Chandler Bing - but missed out.
She said: "I think I was one of, like, 8,000 young ladies who read for Monica and Courteney Cox got her."
Kristin and Courteney were actually "in the same yoga class at the time" and they used to socialise together too, while she can still remember Courteney's reaction to landing the role.
She revealed: "One day, Courteney was like, 'Hey, guys. Do you want to come car shopping with me?' We were like, 'Wow, car shopping!'
"[Courteney] said, 'I did this pilot, I'm feeling really good about it. I think I'm going to buy a Porsche.'
"We were like, 'Wow, is she for real?' It was 'Friends', and it did go very well."

A flight delay, a jazz band and a viral moment
Passengers on a flight from St Louis to Seattle got an unexpected pick-me-up when jazz saxophonist Dave Koz and bandmates held an impromptu jam session in the aisle while the plane was stuck on the tarmac. It happened on August 11, when Koz and fellow musicians on the Dave Koz & Friends Summer Horns Tour were headed to Seattle for two days of shows. What was supposed to be a direct flight was beset by delays, including having to divert to Boise, Idaho, after flight crew members timed out and needed to be relieved and the plane encountered a mechanical issue, Koz said. This wasn't the first delay the band experienced since its tour started around mid-July, and it even had to cancel two shows because of travel-related issues, Koz said. But the delay last week was particularly deflating not just for the musicians but for everyone on the plane. "You could just feel the energy. Everybody was so frustrated," Koz said. A flight attendant who saw the musicians bring their instruments on board asked if they'd be willing to play a song while they were stuck in Boise. A video of them performing Stevie Wonder's You Haven't Done Nothin - the closer to their show - went viral on social media. It shows Grammy-nominated Koz and fellow saxophone player Marcus Anderson grooving in the aisle with other horn players behind them and Jeff Bradshaw on trombone getting creative to play the large instrument between seats. Passengers are seen smiling and swaying in their seats, with some recording the performance on their phones. Anderson said it felt good to lift spirits, though Koz admitted being nervous that some passengers might not like "horns playing in people's ears". Anderson likened the feeling afterward to that of a great workout at the gym. The musicians never thought about the possibility of going viral. "It was just doing something good for the people." They performed just the one song, but they knew that was enough. "It just was right, and it brought everybody together in a way that was very special," Koz said. "I'll remember that moment for the rest of my life." dave Passengers on a flight from St Louis to Seattle got an unexpected pick-me-up when jazz saxophonist Dave Koz and bandmates held an impromptu jam session in the aisle while the plane was stuck on the tarmac.

Deepwater Artist to create an impression at Albury
CANBERRA trainer Matthew Kelley could well be heading north and not south in the near future with his lightly-raced Kiwi-bred gelding Deepwater Artist which fronts up at Albury on Tuesday for the second time inside just three starts. The son of Widden Stud's resident four-time Group 1 winner Trapeze Artist created a lasting first impression when he won his debut on July 18 in an Albury 1175m Maiden. Deepwater Artist resurfaced at Wagga (Riverside) on August 4 where it took a TAB Highway winner, Salute Again, to deny him his unbeaten tag. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'He is very unassuming,'' Kelley said. 'He showed me a little bit early days but he has probably exceeded my expectations. 'I didn't think he was as good as what he is. 'He was originally getting prepared for the Ready To Run Sale to be sold when he was over in New Zealand. 'He actually trialled up pretty good at the Ready To Runs, I went back and watched his video. 'They paid $120,000 for him and then he went to Brett Cavanough and he was being trained there and they had a pretty low opinion of him from all the reports I got from them. • Private Harry, Briasa step up Everest preps with scintillating trial wins 'He has just excelled this preparation. Everything he is doing, he is doing it with authority. 'On his first two runs, he has definitely got to be a midweek grade animal I think.' Deepwater Artist will have company on the 660km round-trip from stablemate Getty which was born and raised at Corumbene Stud, the same as Golden Slipper winners Sebring and Overreach. Getty has his own Golden Slipper connection being a near replica son of 2016 race winner, Capitalist. Like him, Getty was originally trained by Peter and Paul Snowden and although he never won for the then father and son training duo, he was placed five times including behind the likes of Estriella, In Flight, Spring Lee and Rush Hour in the $500,000 Debut at the Gold Coast. Getty has won three times for Kelley and chases a fourth career victory on Tuesday after a brave second at Wagga under a crushing 61 kgs steadier. 'He is getting better as he gets older,'' Kelley said. 'He has been an extremely late-maturer, mentally, and he is still probably not completely matured yet. 'I think we are starting to get on top of him this preparation and it is showing. 'I think later on down the track, he'll be an Open company sprinter for sure.'
