Kristin Davis admits she was initially “nervous” about holding her new daughter Gemma Rose in case she “hurt” her. The Sex and the city actress – who announced she had adopted the tot earlier this month – says when she first took responsibility for the little girl she was worried she wasn’t doing everything right.

“I was nervous about whether it would work out. Then when Gemma came to my house she was so tiny and precious that I was nervous I would hurt her. It is an amazing thing to be a responsible for a tiny baby and I just wanted her to have the best care and all the love possible.”

The 46-year-old beauty – who has adopted Gemma as a single parent – is loving every minute of parenthood as she had wanted to be a mother for such a long time.

She added in an interview with Britain’s Hello! magazine: “I have been thinking about adoption for a long time. And it had taken me a while to feel that I could take on parenthood by myself. It is a huge change in my life, but one I am so ready for. I love taking care of Gemma more than I ever could have imagined. She is a very easy baby, she is easily soothed and is sleeping really well. She lets me know when she is uncomfortable and knows how to speak her mind already – in her own baby language, of course.”

Leading actors Scarlett Johansson and Kristin Davis, photographer Rankin, supermodel Helena Christensen and TV presenter Zoe Ball are among the stars joining Oxfam in putting out a call to fix the broken global food system, which is failing to feed nearly a billion people each day.

The international food system – which takes food from the fields to our plates – is currently leaving one in seven people going hungry every day and, according to Oxfam, the situation is getting much worse. Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Angélique Kidjo and international actor Gael Garcia Bernal are also among the names joining Oxfam calling for governments and big businesses to act now and fix it, to avoid the first ever global food crisis.

Grow will be Oxfam’s biggest ever campaign and aims to end world hunger. It will be launched in 45 countries from today, and aims to gather millions of supporters.

Sex and the City actor Kristin Davis has just returned from Haiti with Oxfam where she visited women’s farming projects.

“In my travels with Oxfam I have met many women all over the world farming to feed their families, working their own land sunrise to sunset but struggling to do so,” she said. “Here in Haiti, I met with a co-op where farmers are growing mangoes. With Oxfam’s help they are beginning to see success and expand their business. Food security is vital so that a country can supply food to its own people – this was especially evident after the earthquake where Haiti had to rely on huge amounts of food aid.”

Kristin Davis has had a lifelong “fascination” with elephants. The Sex and the City actress — who is an ambassador for the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust — says she has loved the huge creatures ever since she was a child and would often watch wildlife documentaries about the mammals.

She said: “I’ve had a fascination with elephants ever since I was little, growing up as an only child in South Carolina with my mum and stepdad. I was always watching National Geographic nature programmes and sat on a giant stuffed elephant.”

The 46-year-old star has always been drawn to the animals because of their ability to form emotional bonds with one another.

She explained: “What captivated me was that elephants are so large yet so gentle. It’s intriguing how complex and emotional their communication is within their family unit.”

Kristin had to wait until her career took off to be able to afford to see elephants in the flesh and says the experience of finally seeing them in their natural habitat in 2009 was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

She said: “While other people in the Campi ya Kanzi lodge in the Chyulu Hills wanted to see lions and leopards, I was up at 5am and watching elephants all day with my guide Elvis. I was completely mesmerised.”

Kristin Davis was touched to receive a handwritten card from Dame Elizabeth Taylor. The legendary actress – who died last month at the age of 79 – wrote to all the main cast members of Sex and the City after the TV series named a dog after her in the sixth and final season in 2004.

Kristin – whose character Charlotte York Goldenblatt was the owner of the pooch – told TV show ‘Live! with Regis and Kelly’:

“The wonderful thing about our show. was we had such wonderful support from the entertainment industry and our writer Michael Patrick King. had gone to Elizabeth Taylor and asked her about the whole storyline, because remember it was the dog and Charlotte had a miscarriage and she’s watching the life story of Elizabeth and that kind of gives her the gumption to get back up and face life and go on with her life.

“Elizabeth had been so sweet and she said, ‘Of course,’ and she sent us all gifts, and she sent us a handwritten card. And I just remember holding that card and thinking, ‘Elizabeth Taylor wrote this to me!’ It was just so generous and warm and wonderful and how you dream that all of those people are gonna be.”

Kristin says Elizabeth’s kindness surpassed all their expectations. She said: “When things like that happen – people that you’ve grown up watching – and they’re so generous and kind of better than you would expect them to be, it’s a wonderful thing.”
