Sarah Jessica Parker

That is, in the theater, on television and in the cinema. Because although it is true that the six seasons of the “subidita” television series Sex in New York represent the Everest of her career, this petite woman with a long, angular body and face has managed to find her place in those other artistic fields. Sarah Jessica Parker is not a brilliant star of the first order, but she is an actress who does not go unnoticed, whose direct naturalness goes down well at the first opportunity and who also has such a wide and expansive smile that it is very difficult to forget .

Born in Nelsonville (Ohio) on March 25, 1965, Sarah Jessica Parker is the fourth of eight children. Her initial years were spent in Cincinnati, where she began taking her first steps on stage thanks to ballet, and even at the tender age of eight she already appeared on a local television show. When the future actress was twelve years old, the family moved to New Jersey, and there Sarah she entered the American Ballet Theater to continue her dance studies. She participated in several theatrical performances, including “The Nutcracker” or “The Innocents”, the latter directed by the Nobel Prize winner for literature Harold Pinter .. And so until in 1979 she got her first leading role in the play “Annie”. It seemed that the theater was going to be her future, but it was soon seen that the blonde, green-eyed actress wanted something different. And it is that in that same year of 1979, when she was 14 years old, she was asked to participate in a modest film entitled Rich Children , and although her scenes were eliminated from the final cut, that experience helped her to make her way behind the cameras. The following year she participated in some chapters of the series 3-2-1 Contact and in 1982 she made the leap to a larger role in the sober and estimable television movie My Body, My Child, with the issue of abortion at the forefront. She later drew critical attention for her role as Patty Greene on the sitcom Square Pegs , although the series only lasted one season. A year later, coinciding with her coming of age, she obtained her first leading role for the cinema thanks to the fantastic drama Somewhere, Tomorrow , by director Robert Wiemer.

Everything pointed to the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker’s career was going to reach a high point, because interesting scripts were beginning to arrive. Thus, in 1984 she worked on two relevant films of that time: Footloose , a musical drama by Herbert Ross , with a cast that included Sean Penn , Kevin Bacon and Dianne Wiest ; and A Stranger in the House , a drama by Michael Apted , with Peter Weller and Robert Downey Jr. At the age of twenty she felt like a fish in water in the comedy Girls Only Think About Having Fun , where she co-starred with Helen Hunt. But she returned to drama in a handful of proper TV movies, such as The Room Upstairs (1987), with Joan Allen and Sam Waterson; Dadah is Death (1988), with Julie Christie and Hugo Weaving ; Life Under Water (1989), with Keanu Reeves ; and The Ryan White Story (1989), with Lukas Hass.

However, in the nineties the actress changed course and began a new path towards another style of interpretation, more casual and fun. Thus came a wide range of humorous products that would ultimately give rise to the creation of the television character that has exalted her, such as Three women for a cheek (1991), Honeymoon for three (1992), The return of the witches (1993), Miami (1995) or The First Wives Club(nineteen ninety six). Meanwhile, the actress had not forgotten the theater either, and she combined the cinema with the interpretation of works on Broadway, such as “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and “Once Upon a Mattress”, among others. But above all, her exploration of her comedy led her to work with one of today’s most original directors: Tim Burton . Her interventions in Ed Wood (1994) and in Mars Attacks! (1996) undoubtedly raised the cachet of the actress, who seemed to be stagnating dangerously. That new air was blowing was confirmed the following year, since the actress married Matthew Broderick, with whom he has a son. And it was shortly after, in 1998, when she got into the skin of the most famous sex columnist in cinema. Together with her friends Kim Cattrall , Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon , she formed the foul-mouthed female quartet of Sex and the City , the daring series that has enjoyed six seasons and has seen how it has managed to overcome the television format to adapt to the big screen. For her role as Carrie, the actress has received, among many other awards, two Emmys and four Golden Globes, which is said soon. Otherwise, her film career has returned to where it was expected, with light and well-meaning comedies such as Back in School ,The jewel of the family or Bride by contract . And right now she has to premiere the attractive Smart People , along with Ellen Page .
