Sarah Jessica Parker
Born on March 25, 1965, she is best known for her role as newspaper relationship columnist Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO television series Sex and the City.
Parker grew up with her mother, stepfather and seven siblings. As a young girl, she trained in singing and ballet, soon being cast in the Broadway production of The Innocents. Her family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, and then to Dobbs Ferry, New York, near New York City, where Parker was developing her career as a child actress.
By the early 1990s, Parker’s career was gaining momentum. In 1991, she appeared in a supporting role in the romantic comedy, L.A. Story; both the movie and her performance garnered some positive reviews.
After a quiet 1997, the script for an HBO drama/comedy series titled Sex and the City had been sent to Parker and the show’s creator Darren Star was determined that she be cast in his project. Despite some early doubts about being cast in a long-term television series, Parker agreed to star.
The first season of the show proved to be an instant success, elevating Parker to a higher status. Despite the show’s increasingly raunchy storylines, Parker retained the strict no-nudity clause of her contract throughout the show’s six-season run.
Parker became a producer for the show starting with its third season. In 2004, Parker won an Emmy award for her lead role (after five consecutive losses). Many gambling and betting establishments stopped taking bets on her Emmy victory, because it was so widely predicted that she would win.
After Sex and the City ended in 2004, rumours of a film version circulated and it has since been revealed that a script had been completed for such a project. However, Parker has commented that it will likely never be made.
Two years later, however, preparations were already underway and HBO is currently in negotiations with executive producer Michael Patrick King and the cast from the Sex and the City TV series, including Parker, to produce a feature film of the same name."Sex and the City" movie close to green light In addition to work in movies and television, she is also a respected stage actor, having appeared in well-reviewed lead roles in the off-Broadway play Sylvia, alongside husband Matthew Broderick in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and the Tony Award-nominated Once Upon A Mattress, as Princess Winifred the Woebegone.
