Famous for her ridiculously fabulous fashion faux pas and luscious lifestyle, Sarah Jessica Parker earnt her Hollywood stars as New York’s finest dating disaster, Carrie Bradshaw.

Parker began her career in a revival stage production of The Sound of Music in 1979, where she played the leading role. Her forays into the world of the silver screen started just a few years later with her roles in Footloose, Firstborn and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

Throughout the early ’90’s Parker appeared in a number of Hollywood productions, including L.A. Story, Honeymoon In Vegas, Ed Wood, Mars Attaks!, and The First Wives Club. In 1997 she received the script for a series called Sex and the City, and her destiny was born.

Despite doubts about being cast in a long running television series, Parker agreed to star in the up-and-coming series, which proved to be an instant success. Sex and the city went on to run for six acclaimed series, hitting the nail on the head as far as the female following was concerned, showcasing an enviable State-side lifestyle, coupled with brash female humour and innuendos.

In 2004 Parker won an Emmy for her role in the series, following five consecutive nominations. Sex and the City ended in 2004 and in 2005 Parker returned to the big screen with an appearance in The Family Stone, for which she received a Golden Globe for ‘Best Actress – Comedy’.

With the third series of Sex and the City, Parker took to the producer’s chair alongside starring as the main character and since then has pursued this role with the independent film Spinning Into Butter.

Alongside her career in celluloid, Parker has appeared in numerous advertising campaigns, brought out two fragrances and started her own line in discount clothing.

In 1997 she married Matthew Broderick, the couple have one child and live in New York City.
