I can see why SJP was such a big deal in her prime

I don't think she is, actually, aside from her hands, especially considering she's thin and smokes.

She's resisting Botox/fillers/plastic surgery. She looks her age, which is in sharp contrast to most women in Hollywood. She's not aging poorly, she's just aging normally.

Hocus pocus she was quite pretty

Eh. She's 52. If she were 35 that would be terrible aging.

Does anyone remember her from Square Pegs? She's been around a long time. She's not conventionally attractive, but she is attractive nonetheless.

+1. I think she is aging very gracefully. She looks 1000 times better than some filler-stuffed Real Housewife.

I've never heard this--can you share more info. / sources? Wikipedia says she had a pretty normal (preschool teacher / truck driver) family, and early training in dance & theatre (Broadway at 11), which doesn't exactly scream welfare.


I remember reading it long ago. Maybe I'm mistaken. I'll google around.


http://www.nytimes.com/2000/07/30/business/talking-money-with-sarah-jessica-parker-start-welfare-riches-city.html

Here's one article.


''We were on welfare,'' recalled Ms. Parker, the curly-haired, slinky star and producer of H.B.O.'s ''Sex and the City.''

''I knew I was different from the kids who pay for lunch or bring their lunch from home. It was a stigma thing. I was not the only person receiving a free lunch, but you are aware.''

''I remember my childhood as Dickensian,'' she added. ''I remember being poor. There was no great way to hide it. We didn't have electricity sometimes. We didn't have Christmases sometimes, or we didn't have birthdays sometimes, or the bill collectors came, or the phone company would call and say, 'We're shutting your phones off.' And we were all old enough to either get the calls, or watch my mother's reactions or watch my parents shuffling the money around.''

I think I actually saw an interview with her a long time ago where she talked about it.



I'm surprised you haven't heard about it PP. It's a big part of who she is. Here is another more recent article about them packing all their belongings into a VW bus and moving to NY while her mother was pregnant with her 7th child (and then getting there and the subsidized housing apartment wasn't ready!)

I remember her from Square Pegs. How about Annie? She was one of the original Annies on Broadway. Girl can sing.

Yes! And I remember seeing her in Annie when I was a kid!! I distinctly remember that day-waited so long to see Annie-tix must have been hard to get. And I remember that the original Annie, Andrea McCartle had just left the show and I was a little annoyed that I only got to see the "second" Annie! Also, it may have been the first time I realized that someone could use two whole first names as their name. I remember wondering if people called her "Sarah" or if they said the whole "Sarah Jessica" name and I thought that was weird. My mom told me that sometimes actors use their middle name because someone else in the actors' union may have the same first and last names- and they have to be original. I was probably 10 years old-I remember the whole day! The show was awesome and Sarah Jessica Parker looked really small to me but she could really sing (according to 10 year old me!).

At least she's aging - unlike the other plastics in Hollywood.

I admire that.

agree she's always had a rocking bod - But she also had a surrogate for her twins.

Because she has no fat on that "bangin' bod." See also Madonna.
