In the film, the Dreamgirls star plays Carrie's assistant Louise, who had just moved to New York.
Calling her co-star affectionately as J-Hud, Sarah Jessica says: "I just think we were extraordinarily lucky that she was interested and beyond that just that there was just this incredible enthusiasm.
"It's fortuitous for a lot of reasons. It was so necessary to contrast where Carrie is now and when Louise arrives in Manhattan. She identifies New York with all the hope and all the promise and all the potential that this city is identified with and even the superficial and this desire for love in all its simplicity and it was so important that we have that 20-year-old perspective.
"But it was also very important that we address the one short-coming on our show, which was, we had no women of colour. That always concerned me and I talked a lot about that with Michael Patrick (King, director and writer). So, it was this wonderful confluence of things that came together."
The 43-year-old actress adds: "We really wanted her. In fact, she ended up adding a song to the soundtrack. Have you heard the song? I love that song."
