Sarah Jessica Parker: My childhood was tough

Actress didn't have it easy and was teased about her looks

Saturday, 19 July 2008

Sarah Jessica Parker says she was starved of attention and teased over her looks as a child.

The Sex And The City star, 43, was the butt of endless jokes about her frizzy hair and big nose.

‘There were some non-terribly-veiled conversations. Anything from as silly as plucking my eyebrows to getting my nose fixed,’ she says.

Growing up in a poor coalmining town in Ohio, Jessica felt ignored by her parents.



‘As a child I was lucky to get any attention, let alone be spoiled,’ she tells the Sunday Mirror.

‘My father was a poet. My mom was busy with eight children and my step-dad was a truck driver. But I’m grateful for all that now. It gave me a good work ethic.’
