Carrie Bradshaw
Mr. Winkle was the subject of many national and international newspaper and magazine articles, and appeared on various television shows, including an episode of "Sex and the City" (Sept. 1, 2002). The Mr. Winkle phenomenon was the most visible during Regan's book tours with Mr. Winkle from 2001 - 2005 which often drew over 500 fans at each location, inspiring the producer of "Sex and the City" to incorporate the unusual phenomenon into an episode where Mr. Winkle upstages the character Carrie Bradshaw at her first book signing.
