OK, I'll admit it: When I first sit down with Sarah Jessica Parker on a Saturday afternoon at a cozy Italian restaurant in New York City, I can't help thinking, hello, I am having brunch with Carrie Bradshaw. After all, it's tempting to go into Sex and the City mode when you're sitting across from a woman who orders her eggs with "absolutely no parsley," just like Carrie would have, and is dressed Carrie-style, too-flowy brown top, cute cords and giant Gucci sunglasses.
But it's been two years since SATC ended, and Parker's moved on. And when she starts to talk, I realize the actress is, in fact, more interesting than the character she played to perfection: She's well-versed in politics, passionately committed to her family, husband Matthew Broderick and son James Wilkie, 3, and devoted to her work. What's more, Parker is refreshingly honest about subjects that make most stars squirm (check out her candid comments on Botox and reproductive rights). And look what she's accomplished lately: She landed major roles in films like The Family Stone (for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe) and Failure to Launch with Matthew McConaughey, out now; produced her first film, Spinning into Butter, due out in December; and launched a perfume, Lovely. Busy woman!
