Growing Up: A Dickensian Childhood
Sarah Jessica Parker, now 58, remembers her childhood as something straight out of a Charles Dickens novel. “We didn’t have electricity sometimes,” she recalls. “We didn’t always have Christmases, and the phone company would call and say, ‘We’re shutting your phones off.’” Despite the hardships, Sarah Jessica’s childhood was filled with love and access to the arts. “We went to the theater, the ballet, and the opera because all of that was free,” she shares. It’s no wonder she developed such a deep appreciation for the arts, which has shaped her career in countless ways.
Her Dance Dreams: The Ballerina She Almost Became
Even though Sarah Jessica made the right choices for her career, she still dreams of becoming a ballet dancer. “I still wish that I could have become a ballet dancer,” she says with a nostalgic smile. She studied at the prestigious School of American Ballet in New York City, and while she doesn’t have any regrets, she wishes she had kept it up. “It’s still my favorite thing,” she confesses. Ballet was a passion that never faded, even as her career took off in other directions.
