  • Sarah Jessica Parker said the biggest misconception about her is that she is Carrie Bradshaw, the character she has played for 27 years.
  • Parker reflected on her long association with the Sex and the City character and joked about a possible Carrie newsletter title.
  • She said her greatest achievement is the family she created with husband Matthew Broderick.

After playing Carrie Bradshaw for nearly three decades, Sarah Jessica Parker has clarified the misconception she encounters most often: that she is the famous character.

That I am Carrie.

· Sarah Jessica ParkerShe gave this as the biggest misconception people have about her.

Asked by British Vogue about the biggest misconception people have about her, Parker, 61, answered simply, “That I am Carrie.” She did not elaborate on how she differs from the New York columnist who made her famous, but she joked that Carrie’s Substack newsletter would be called “I couldn’t help but wonder,” echoing one of the character’s best-known lines.

Parker first played Carrie in 1998 in Sex and the City, the series that ran until 2004. Two films followed, in 2008 and 2010. More than a decade later, Parker reunited with Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon for And Just Like That..., which ran for three seasons from 2021 to 2025. Kim Cattrall did not return as a regular cast member, though she briefly appeared as Samantha Jones in the second season.

I couldn’t help but wonder.

· Sarah Jessica ParkerShe suggested this title for a hypothetical Carrie Bradshaw Substack newsletter.

After the end of And Just Like That... was announced, Parker described Carrie as a defining part of her professional life. “I think I loved her the most of all,” she wrote. She also acknowledged the mixed reactions the character inspired, saying viewers loved, criticized and supported Carrie, and that those emotions accompanied her throughout the years.

I think I loved her the most of all.

Fashion remains one clear link between Parker and Carrie, especially their shared affection for shoes. Asked which pair she would choose to wear for the rest of her life, Parker named Vivienne Westwood DIY Roman sandals from the Gold Label spring/summer 2009 collection. But when asked about her greatest achievement, she looked away from acting and toward her family with Matthew Broderick. “My three children are good children,” she said. Parker and Broderick married in 1997 and have a 23-year-old son, James, and 17-year-old twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha.

My three children are good children.

· Sarah Jessica ParkerShe described her family as her greatest life achievement.
