Sarah Jessica Parker also sometimes referred to by her initials SJP, 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, for which she won four Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and two Emmy Awards.

Sex and the City:
The script for an HBO drama/comedy series titled Sex and the City was sent to Parker. The show's creator, Darren Star, was determined that she be cast in his project. Despite some early doubts about being cast in a long-term television series, Parker agreed to star.

The show proved to be an instant success, raising Parker's profile considerably. It is credited with turning Parker from simply an actress into a star and icon. Despite the show's increasingly risqué storylines, Parker retained the strict no-nudity clause in her contract throughout the show's six-season run. Parker became a producer for the show starting with its third season. In 2004, Parker won an Emmy Award for her lead role (after five consecutive losses). Parker stated in 2006 that she "will never do a television show again".

After Sex and the City ended in 2004, rumors of a film version circulated and it was revealed that a script had been completed for such a project. However, at the time, Parker stated that it would likely never be made. Two years later, however, preparations were resumed, and the film was released on May 30, 2008.
