Sarah Jessica Parker Still Believes in Brilliance of 'Sex And the City' Despite Show Creator's Previous Comments
On her way to premiere a new show on HBO after more than a decade of being Carrie Bradshaw in the TV series "Sex and the City," Sarah Jessica Parker opened up about her previous role and how she respects show creator Darren Star's comments about the famed series, Yahoo! reports.
The highly controversial comment made by "Sex and the City" creator Star recently in a Kindle Singles interview prompted several news outlets to get the view of Parker, who played the lead role in the series.
When Yahoo! got a hold of the actress, Parker revealed just how much she thinks the ending of the series and ultimately how her character and Mr. Big's played by Chris Noth was the perfect ending to the story in the series.
"I don't think of it as someone diminishing herself by letting a man marry her -- it always felt that she had arrived at that on her own," Parker said of her character and Mr. Big getting married in the end as quoted by the publication.
"But the beauty is we can all have lots and lots of opinions about lots of choices Carrie made that we object to or that we stand by. If that's Darren's feeling, I think it's interesting!" she said of Star's comments previously.
The controversy kicked off when Star was asked about the series and how he responded saying that the ending "betrayed" the meaning of the series about women being independent of needing men in order to be fulfilled, Kindle Singles reports.
"The show ultimately betrayed what it was about, which was that women don't ultimately find happiness from marriage. Not that they can't. But the show initially was going off script from the romantic comedies that had come before it. That's what had made women so attached," Star said as quoted by the publication.
Meanwhile, People reports that the series, which ran for 10 years in six seasons concluded in two films that had 50-year-old Parker's character, Carrie marry Mr. Big, Noth's character in the end. Although, their marriage spoke of something that women can look up to in choosing what they wanted, not just because they had to, Parker said as quoted by Yahoo!
Parker will soon star in HBO's upcoming original series "Divorced," another highly anticipated TV debut of the actress which is written by Sharon Horgan, People adds. Although there is no official premiere date, the comedy series is expected to premiere this year.
