Sarah Jessica Parker became a household name as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, a role that defined her career and celebrated New York's fashion and relationships. After the series ended in 2004 and its two film adaptations concluded, Parker stepped back from Hollywood, focusing on her family and business ventures. In 2021, she returned triumphantly with And Just Like That..., the revival of Sex and the City, which introduced Carrie to a new generation while exploring more mature themes for longtime fans. Her return highlighted her enduring charm and ability to reinvent herself.
