Sarah Jessica Parker: Women don't flat line at 50 or 60
Sarah Jessica Parker wants to remind the public that 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."

‘Disgrace of a human': Whoopi Goldberg ‘minimises' the struggles of Iranian women
Sky News host Rita Panahi lashes The View host Whoopi Goldberg for "minimising" the struggle of women living under the 'brutal' Iranian regime. 'Let me be clear, the Iranian regime will hang you from a crane in the public square for crimes like blasphemy, witchcraft, homosexuality and of course, if you dare show any dissent, if you challenge the brutal regime. Whoopi thinks that's pretty much how black folk are treated in America,' Ms Panahi said. 'You absolute disgrace of a human being, Whoopi Goldberg, to show absolutely no regard for the Iranian women who risk their lives to challenge the Islamist government, to minimise their struggle and compare it to your fever dreams about oppression in America in 2025.'

Sarah Jessica Parker's shoe collection 'tragedy'
Sarah Jessica Parker's daughters don't have the right size feet to inherit her extensive collection of designer shoes. The Sex and The City star has a famously opulent footwear stash at home after being allowed to keep all the pricey heels she wore in the hit TV show, but she's now admitted she can't pass on her treasures to her 15-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion because they don't fit. During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Sarah Jessica explained: "My shoes don't fit them - it's really a tragedy. I'm actually not kidding, I find it really tragic ... "They can't [fit], one of them can sort of squeeze [in]." However, Sarah Jessica admitted the teenagers aren't that bothered about being able to dip into her fabulous wardrobe. She added: "Their taste is different than mine right now too. Like what I have is not necessarily of interest. They've never seen a [Sex and The City] show. "So they haven't an idea about what is available to them yet. But I do give, I give them stuff on my all the time, all the time." Sarah Jessica also revealed the twins use the money they earn from their summer jobs to buy their own clothes, which are mostly second-hand. She explained: "You know what, so many people rightfully ask that they just don't … they like clothing and I'll get a text a couple times a month asking can they purchase something. "But they mostly buy their clothes used. Almost entirely. Which I think is pretty common now with girls, young women their age, they'll be 16 later this month. "So they're pretty steady. They don't tend to be trend, they don't move toward that. They know they don't have a budget. "They don't have money with the exception of what they've earned. And one of them is a little bit better at earning than another who's pretty, she saves pretty well, they both had jobs last summer." During the podcast, Sarah Jessica also opened up about the contract clause which allowed her to keep all of her Sex and The City pieces. She said: "Previous to Sex and the City, I started working with a new attorney before I even met my husband. So about 35 years ago. And one of the most important things he said to me, outside of the fact that I think he's a terrific businessman and a great and fair attorney, is that from the beginning of our relationship, he said: 'You should always keep your clothing. No matter what it is.' "And he said: 'Some studios are gonna be harder to negotiate with about that because they like to have their own archive and that makes sense.' And he was totally right." She added: "There are studios that really wanna hang onto stuff. So it's a very complicated dance to get your pieces. But, so by the time I was doing Sex and the City, it was just in my contract that I have everything. "I mean, with the exception of something that a designer loaned us that needs to go back or a consignment piece from a vintage shop. But often those same designers would end up saying: 'Just keep it, have it be part of that archive.' So yeah, it's a huge amount."
