You're right, I didn't realize that Camille is actually Saint-Saëns' first name. Thank you for the education.
To answer your question about Sex and the City in 'Weir's favorite things' thread, I watched it couple of times (for curiosity), not a big fan of it, although my mom likes it. It was a VERY POPULAR comedy aired on HBO (a cable TV network in US) from 1998 to 2004. It's about the love and sex lives of four women living in New York City. They're in their 30-40s, have very successul career and good+unique fashion sense, enjoy shopping for glamourous clothes and shoes (I bet that's why Johnny loves it), but all of them sort of screwed up in their pernal life (of course the show had a happy ending).
Johnny's favorite actress: Sarah Jessica Parker played Carrie Bradshaw, the leading role of the show. She's a column writer for a newspaper called 'the New York Star', and the title of her column is 'Sex and the City' (she actually published a book with the same name later). Each episode is structured around her train of thought about love, sex, marriage, family, fashion and sometimes socially relavent issues like status of women in society etc. while writing her weekly column.
Over its total six seasons, Sex and the City was nominated for >50 Emmy Awards (it's a record in US TV history) and Sarah Jessica Parker basically had dominated the outstanding leading actress category. She also won several Goden Globes with her performance in the show.
It's a fun sitcom with lots of brilliant points, but I won't recommend teenagers to watch it AT ALL. If you're not familiar with the NYC culture, and/or too young to have any love/sex experience, you won't appreciate the show too much. It's for adults, not young girls!
