8 Things You Didn’t Know About Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker is an American actress, producer, and designer best known for playing Carrie Bradshaw in the HBO television series “Sex and the City”. But Sarah is much more than Carrie, as evidenced by these little-known facts about this talented actress.

8 Things You Didn’t Know About Sarah Jessica Parker

1. Her Father Left The Family

She was the eighth of eight children! Her father, Stephen, abandoned the family when she was only a year old. This left Sarah’s mother, Barbara, to care for all of the children on her own until she met Sarah’s stepfather, Paul Forst. ^[1]

2. Initially Turned Down The Role In Sex And The City

Even thinking about it hurts. However, after her success on Square Pegs, the actress was afraid of being pigeonholed to television. She was also concerned about the show’s subject matter, which included a lot of nudity and vulgar language. ^[2]

3. Owner Of A Publishing House

Her work as an actress, producer, and designer was apparently insufficient for her. The talented Sarah launched the SJP for Hogarth publishing house in 2018. Her first publication was the book “A Place for Us.” ^[3]

4. Got Married In Black

Both she and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick, were dressed in black when they married in 1997. Why? The couple did not appear to want to draw attention to themselves all day. Morgan Le Fay’s fluffy satin gown was stunning, but the actress admits she would have chosen differently today. ^[4]

5. Works Out Regularly To Keep Herself Active

Sarah prefers exercises that require coordination. She prefers swimming to jog and the more active pilates workout to yoga. Walking is one of her favorite activities in New York City, which explains why her legs are so toned.

6. Proud Mommy Of 3 Kids

Sarah, who is married to actor Matthew Broderick, has three children: James, 12, and Tabitha and Marion, who are four years old. She also considers her children to be the best gifts she has ever received.

7. Loves Travelling to Greece

She has obviously traveled to many countries, but her favorite is Greece, which she recently visited. SJP, on the other hand, says she’d like to visit Vietnam next.

8. An Avid Reader

Carrie Bradshaw’s character in Sex and the City was tailor-made for her, given her love of books. Winter’s Tale and To Kill a Mockingbird are two of her favorite books.
