Candace Bushnell was born on December 1, 1958 in the small town of Glastonbury (Connecticut, USA). She studied first at Rice University in Texas, then transferred to New York University, during which she plunged into bohemian life. An up-and-coming actress, Bushnell began her career in journalism in the late 1970s with reviews for "Beat" magazine of secular and pericultural events - mainly in Studio 54. Later, she became a "free" author, writing for a number of women's magazines, her articles were regularly published in "Ladies Home Journal", "Self" and "Mademoiselle". Later, Bushnell was a columnist for the magazine “New York Observer”, and when in 1994 the editor-in-chief offered her his own column, and even gave carte blanche: “Write what you want”, she did not fail to take the chance. Thus was born "Sex and the City" - a kind of chronicle of the life of a young unmarried woman and her friends and acquaintances, with all their problems, against the background of the restless New York. In 1997, on the basis of these articles, Candace Bushnell published the book of the same name - "Sex and the City". They also served as the basis for the then-launched television series Darren Starr "Sex and the City". The series soon gained immense popularity, won Emmy Awards, and the book became a bestseller. Bushnell herself became the prototype of one of the main characters, journalist Carrie, whose role in the film was played by Sarah Jessica Parker. In 2001, the second book by Candace Bushnell “Four Blondes” was published, and in 2003 a new book “Trading Up” was published, also included in the bestseller lists.
