Sarah Jessica Parker (born March 25, 1965) is an American film, television, and theater actress and producer. She is best known for her leading role as Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO television series
Sex and the City (1998–2004), for which she won four Golden Globe Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two Emmy Awards. She played the same role in the 2008 feature film based on the show,
Sex and the City: The Movie, and in its sequel,
Sex and the City 2, which opened on May 26, 2010. Parker has also appeared in many other films.
Parker and four siblings appeared in a production of
The Sound of Music at the outdoor Municipal Theatre (Muny) in St. Louis, Missouri. She was selected for a role in the new 1977–81 Broadway musical
Annie: first in the small role of "July" and then succeeding Andrea McArdle and Shelley Bruce in the lead role of the Depression-era orphan, beginning March 1979. Parker held the role for a year.
The script for an HBO
drama/comedy series titled
Sex and the City was sent to Parker. The show's creator, Darren Star
, wanted her for his project. Despite some doubts about being cast in a long-term television series, Parker agreed to star. After five nominations, in 2004, Parker won an Emmy Award
for her lead role. Parker said in 2006 that she "will never do a television show again".
