Sarah Jessica Parker: Women don't flat line at 50 or 60
The 60-year-old actress has reprised the role of Carrie Bradshaw to star in the latest season of 'And Just Like That...', the 'Sex and the City' revival series, and Sarah is determined to spread an inspiring message through the TV show.
She told Sky News: "You don't flat line at 50 or 60.
"People are living pretty colourful, interesting, exciting lives and they have influence and authority. They're trying new things. They're leaving marriages. They're saying goodbye to kids. They're starting new jobs, they're leaving jobs, and they're getting married, they are widows, there's just endless amounts to talk about and it should be."
Kristin Davis, her co-star, also hopes to challenge certain taboos and stereotypes for women in their 50s and 60s.
The 60-year-old actress actually thinks there should be more shows like 'And Just Like That...' on TV.
She said: "It is insane that there aren't more shows like us, you know? I'm hoping that there will be.
"It's very interesting that somehow women, especially at a certain age, you're just supposed to just vanish. I don't know where we're supposed to be and that just makes no sense."
Meanwhile, Kristin recently confessed that she hates to be "out of sync" with Sarah.
The actress has learned some important life lessons from her 'Sex and the City' co-star, explaining that she always has to "check in" with the actress before a red-carpet event.
During an episode of her 'Are You a Charlotte?' podcast, Kristin explained: "I need to know what Sarah Jessica's gonna wear to our different events, because she might be wearing something that is, like, way dressier than what I pictured in my mind, and I hate to be out of sync with her."
Kristin - who plays Charlotte York in 'And Just Like That...' - actually loves getting "dressed up" for work.
She explained: "There's a part of me always, like, 'Oh my gosh, why do I have to dress up so much all the time?' But on the other hand, it's fun to dress up.
"And in life, I really don't dress up at all. So when we haven't worked for a while, then we go back to work and we get to get in all the clothes, I love it so much, because I don't do it that much."

‘Silent killer': Taxpayer media finds ‘burning wood' a threat to your health
Sky News host Paul Murray discusses how taxpayer-funded media has found wood heater pollution as a "silent killer" in Australia. 'Today, taxpayer media have finally found the big killer, the big danger, the thing we must do to save lives here at home and change the climate globally, and it is the fireplace at your joint,' Mr Murray said. 'Yes, I am talking to you, right now if you are currently warming in an Australian winter with wood, either behind the glass, in the heater or in a beautiful fireplace where you can hear the crackle, well, guess what, my friends, you are part of the problem.'

‘Too woke': Star rages after being cut from ‘And Just Like That'
Bobby Lee thinks wokeness is to blame for his exit from And Just Like That, the New York Post reports. The comedian, 53, spoke to Entertainment Weekly at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend about why he wasn't asked to reprise his role as Jackie Nee, Carrie's (Sarah Jessica Parker) podcast co-host, on the third season of the show. 'Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that,' Lee stated. 'I think Sara [Ramirez] didn't come back and some other people,' he added. 'They tried to put minorities in, and — I don't know. I never saw the show.' Lee departed AJLT between Seasons 2 and 3, as did Ramirez, who played Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) non-binary love interest Che Díaz, and Karen Pittman, who played Dr. Nya Wallace. Season 2 wrapped up Carrie's podcast storyline, which allowed the show to write off Lee and Ramirez. 'Number one, I don't even know why they asked,' Lee told EW about being cast in the HBO Max series. 'And I was super scared to do it. Because it wasn't my brand, really. You know what I mean? But I did it. I walked through the fear.' Lee added that getting to work with Parker, 60, was a highlight of the experience. 'Sarah Jessica Parker is the nicest person I've ever met. She made me feel so at ease,' he shared. 'I like everyone on there. It was fun. I never have bad blood with anybody. You know what I mean? I am nice. I show up on time.' Lee previously revealed that working on the Sex and the City reboot pushed him to get sober. 'I was in Hawaii and I was blackout drunk and my agent called and said, 'They need you in New York,'' he recalled on Rachel Bilson's Broad Ideas podcast in 2023. 'This is one of the reasons why I'm sober … On the plane, I thought, 'I'm just gonna get sh*t faced,' so I was in a blackout when we landed in New York.' Lee said that he learned he was expected to film AJLT that day when he realised that his driver wasn't taking him to his hotel. 'I remember going and being so high and drunk,' Lee revealed. 'When I was reading the script, I couldn't even understand what the f*ck it was even saying. It was a nightmare. I remember thinking, 'This is never going to happen again — I have to get sober.'' New episodes of And Just Like That stream Thursdays at 11am AEST on HBO Max.
