Kristin Davisis revealing the celebrity who left her the most starstruck recently.
During the Jan. 9 episode of her podcast,Are You a Charlotte?, the actress, 60, recounted her experience attending the star-studded Golden Eve celebration in Los Angeles on Thursday, Jan. 8, ahead of the2026 Golden Globe Awards. Davis had the honor of presenting her longtime friend andSex and the CitycostarSarah Jessica Parkerwith the event'sCarol Burnett Award.
Davis recalled that when she attended a rehearsal for the CBS and Paramount primetime special, she realized an intimidating movie star would be in the house.
"I had gone to rehearse. And you know how they put those cards up with the pictures of the actors and people that are gonna be there?" she said. "Who is directly in front of the microphone butHarrison Ford."

Ford, 83, wastapped to presentHelen Mirrenwith the Globes' Cecil B. DeMille Award.
"So I was like, 'Okay,' " Davis continued. "Now, I've met Harrison before. He's lovely, but he is still Harrison Ford! There is nothing that can change that, right? So I have to not be completely shut down by the fact that Harrison Ford is sitting there looking at me."
TheCash Outactress said she had to keep her eyes trained on her friend to avoid any nervousness.
"Luckily, Sarah Jessica was at the other table right in front of me. So my goal, and I do think I was able to do this, was to look at her [instead of Ford] and tune into her, talk to her [from the stage]," she said.

"I wrote my own speech, which I felt like I needed to do so that it could be, you know, what I want to say from my heart to her because it's so rare," she said. "It's so rare that you get to stand up on a stage and talk about one of your friends."
Ultimately, Davis succeeded in keeping it together, but Parker got a bit teary — which Davis said was a good indication that she had nailed her speech.
"I did what I wanted to do. And I know this because [Parker] had to get a tissue out, which is very, very rare, you guys. Very, very rare," she explained.
"But then I also had a moment of panic — of am I actually going to be able to finish if she now has a tissue out, and I can see her being moved, and I am still having to talk. So that was challenging, but I did it. I did it," Davis added.
