Stage or screen. Comedy or drama. SARAH JESSICA PARKER is one of the most versatile talents in the business. Having played the title role in the original Broadway run of "Annie," then gaining national exposure as a teenybopper on the CBS sitcom "Square Pegs" (1982) and parlaying that into a film career, the Ohio native has had a blast working her way up the Hollywood food chain, charming the likes of STEVE MARTIN, HUGH GRANT and ANTONIO BANDERAS, among other leading men.

Staying busy is a Parker hallmark, and she does that by dividing her time between television and motion picture parts. Among her early movies was 'Footloose,' in which she kicked up her heels with KEVIN BACON; and 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' (1985) alongside another rising star named HELEN HUNT. During the late '80s, Sarah segued back into TV land again, starring in the series, "A Year in the Life," and in a myriad of TV movies such as "Dadah is Death," "Twist of Fate," "The Ryan White Story" and "Equal Justice." Then in 1991, Parker was thrust into the big-screen limelight when she stole Steve Martin's heart as "SanDeE*" (with a capital "E"!) in 'L.A. Story.'
