Sex and the City, a frank television show about modern urban women and sex, was a ground-breaking hit from the moment it premiered. The key to its success wass its smart and sexy star, Sarah Jessica Parker. Marc Shapiro’s riveting biography charts Parker’s rise to fame, from her poverty-stricken roots in Nelsonville, Ohio to overnight stardom on Broadway in Annie. Sarah Jessica Parker includes insight into her Hollywood success in the television series Square Pegs and breakout movie role in Footloose; her tragic romance with drug addict Robert Downey Jr. and subsequent high-profile relationships with John F. Kennedy Jr. and Nicholas Cage; her marriage with the man of her dreams, Matthew Broderick; and why she refuses to appear nude in movies and photo shoots.

This review is from: Sarah Jessica Parker (Paperback)
Written more like a report, Shapiros' book will surely frustrate Sarah Jessica Parker fans looking for more than a broad overview of her early life and rise to Sex and the City fame. Gathered from a variety of media sources, the book contains only a superficial disclosure of its subject, with none of the real-life conversations and detail necessary to connect and entertain readers. I came across the book in search of information about Parker's early childhood and was disappointed to find a general summary of part of the life of a popular actress, rather than authentic stories and engaging detail about a real person.
