Lunch Break Videos: Before Sarah Jessica Parker became Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City”

http://redriverautographs.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/sarah-jessica-parker-0085.jpgSarah Jessica Parker is so closely identified with her signature role of Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City that it overshadows her impressive body of work before that HBO series and the follow-up feature films.

Way back in 1977, she landed in the cast of the original Broadway cast of Annie and by 1979, had graduated to the lead which she played for a year.

That stage success was followed by the cult fave sitcom Square Pegs before she moved on the films and roles in Footloose, Striking Distance, Honeymoon in Vegas, Hocus Pocus, Miami Rhapsody, Ed Wood and LA Story, among others.

Sarah also had an eight-year relationship with Robert Downey Jr. and dated John F. Kennedy Jr. before settling down with husband Matthew Broderick.

Here are some videos of her well before she started sipping Cosmos with Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte:


This is adorable! SJP sings I Don’t Need Anything But You from Annie on the 1982 TV Special “Broadway Plays Washington” on Kennedy Center Tonight.”

Steve Martin meets Sarah’s free-spirited character of SanDeE in LA Story.

And finally, here is a charming 1993 visit to David Letterman’s late-night show on NBC. SJP is sick, possibly with strep throat, and tells about the time a doctor told her she might have a fatal disease.
