Sarah Jessica Parker is an award-winning actor, producer, and businesswoman who has garnered four Golden Globe Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two Emmy Awards.
Parker next stars in the highly anticipated third season of HBO's television series And Just Like That. The show is a sequel to the critically acclaimed television series Sex and the City (1998-2004), in which Parker starred and served as an executive producer. Parker reprised her role as Carrie Bradshaw and served as a producer for the screen adaptation of the hit series with the theatrical release of Sex and the City and Sex and the City 2.
Parker’s film, television, and theatre credits number close to 100, with memorable turns in Hocus Pocus and its sequel, The Family Stone, Failure to Launch, Square Pegs, and Annie on Broadway, among many others.
Parker was most recently seen on stage opposite her husband, Matthew Broderick, in the revival of Neil Simon‘s play Plaza Suite, the third-highest-grossing play revival in Broadway history. The play made its West End debut at the Savoy Theatre in London, where Parker’s performance earned her a nomination for Best Actress at the 2024 Olivier Awards.
She launched Pretty Matches Productions, the award-winning production company, in 2005. She executive produced the documentary The Librarians, which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. In 2023 she launched SJP Lit, her imprint in partnership with independent publisher Zando.
She is an advocate for public libraries and the arts, an award-winning wine producer (Invivo X, SJP), and the creator of a globally recognized fragrance line.
