Delany turned down the role of Carrie Bradshaw, which turned Sarah Jessica Parker into a TV icon, over concerns about pigeonholing herself. "I had done a movie called Live Nude Girls with Kim Cattrall that was somewhat similar. It was women sitting around talking about sex. Darren Star was a friend of mine and he had joined up with Candace Bushnell and came up with this idea and he asked if I'd be in it. It was very much in the early stages, and I had just done Nude Girls and Exit to Eden and I just said to Darren, 'I cannot do a show with 'sex' in the title,'" she told the Los Angeles Times.
