The comments kept rolling in as one fan wrote, “You look around 45, tops!” and “Hope u have a lovely day! [red heart emoji].”

Known for her signature role as the ever-stylish Carrie Bradshaw, Parker has remained a pop culture staple since “Sex and the City” first hit HBO screens in 1998. But long before she became a New York fashionista with a laptop and an enviable shoe collection, Parker had already established herself as a stage and screen talent.

The Ohio-born star began acting at the age of 11, appearing in the play “The Innocents” in 1976. By 1979, she had landed the lead role in the Broadway production of “Annie,” marking her as a child star on the rise.

Hollywood quickly took notice. Parker went on to star in notable 1980s films like “Footloose” and Firstborn,” then continued building an eclectic filmography with standout roles in “L.A. Story,” “Honeymoon in Vegas,” “Hocus Pocus,” “Ed Wood,” and “Mars Attacks!”

Then came her “Sex and the City” breakthrough.

From 1998 to 2004, Parker captivated viewers as Carrie Bradshaw, a character that earned her four Golden Globe Awards, two Emmys, and a place in television history. She later reprised the role in two feature films and again in 2021 for HBO Max’s revival series “And Just Like That…”

Her film work hasn’t slowed either.

From “The Family Stone” and “Failure to Launch” to “New Year’s Eve,” Parker has proven her staying power in both comedy and drama.

Her most recent revival was her role in “Hocus Pocus 2,” which came out in 2022.

“The most important thing was trying to figure out a story that everybody was excited about and that was familiar enough in tone to make sense, nod to the past, and pay tribute to a [the first film’s] whimsy, ridiculousness, evilness, and wickedness,” she told EW of the sequel. “The script was the hardest part.”

Kathy Najimy chimed in, “They sent us story ideas, then Sarah, Bette, and I would have phone meetings with lots of snacks, and we’d talk over narratives and character arcs. We were able to give them our two cents, and what the writer and studio came up with was difficult, because you can’t take something that was so successful and stray too far from it.”

She continued, “The first one had something delicious about it, but you also want to make something new. With a little bit of our input, the writer’s input, and Disney’s, we came up with something that’s current and fun.”

In a candid conversation on an episode of “Ruthie’s Table 4,” hosted by acclaimed River Café chef Ruthie Rogers, the then 59-year-old actress opened up about why she doesn’t restrict her children’s diets, despite growing up in a household where sugar was off-limits.

“When I was growing up, we weren’t allowed sugar in the house, and we weren’t allowed cookies, and we weren’t allowed chocolate,” Parker recalled at the time. “And of course, all we did, the minute we moved out, was buy Entenmann’s cakes and cookies.”

Now a mom of three, Parker explained how her own childhood experience influenced the kind of food culture she wanted to create in her own home.

“So in our house, we have cookies, we have cake. We have everything,” she shared. “And I think as a result, you kind of have a healthier relationship.”
