An interview with Sarah Jessica Parker...
Sarah Jessica Parker, successful actress, style icon and the woman we all associate with Carrie Bradshaw, talks to JESSICA YOUNG about family Christmases, working mother guilt and plans for Sex And The City 3...
For an A-list actress who’s great at her job, there’s only one problem – everybody thinks she’s the character she plays. And since 1998, Sarah Jessica Parker (or SJP to her legions of adoring
fans) has regularly been mistaken for Carrie Bradshaw – the funny, kooky, fashion-obsessed commitmentphobe of Sex And The City fame. Admittedly, there are similarities – they both live in Manhattan, they both look great in designer clothes, and they both come over as that warm and funny someone you’d like to hang out with. But beyond that, as is increasingly clear, SJP, 46, is not Carrie Bradshaw. She’s not even Kate Reddy, the much more grown-up Manhattanite she
recently played in I Don’t Know How She Does It, juggling children and a high-powered career rather than fashion and friends, but still managing to emanate the trademark SJP charm. The actress behind these creations, however, is a lot more stable than Carrie and not quite so frantic as Kate, despite maintaining a stellar career, a 14-year marriage to actor Matthew Broderick and three children – nine-year-old James Wilkie and twins Marion Loretta and Tabitha, two, born via a surrogate. “Kate reminded me of so many mothers,” says SJP, “who are doing it with far less support than I have and don’t have the liberty to dip in and out of work the way I do, or the kind of childcare I have that gives me enormous amounts of comfort when I shoot a movie. The small hardships that I face are far less than millions of working mothers all across the globe,” she adds firmly.
