Fresh from the news that Sarah Jessica Parker is to head up US fashion house Halston as their new Creative Director, it seems only fitting to identify the unlikely figure who may have had a hand in her career.
Over in New York in the summer of 1976, author and playwright Harold Pinter was auditioning for the roles of children Miles and Flora in his adaptation of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, when in walked the future fashionista herself. "A minute flaxen-haired doll called Sarah, so small she could hardly read the script, proved to be the most brilliant actress" writes Antonia Fraser, Pinter's widow, in her recently published memoirs. "Years later I was amused to realise that the doll had become famous as Sarah Jessica Parker".
Thank Harold for Carrie Bradshaw...
