In yet another Sex and the City-related interview (wait, there’s a movie coming out? I had no idea!), Sarah Jessica Parker makes yet another reference to her assistant. Answering a question about the Jennifer Hudson assistant character, SJP said:
I have a very young assistant, and she’s very young. She’s been with me 5 years, and she’s still in her twenties, and she’s exceptional and brilliant and at this point probably, this job is beneath her. But she became an Associate Producer on the movie because people were so taken with her. I feel that kind of relationship; I understand what it means to you. She came to New York with a dream, my assistant, and a lot had to do with the idea of NYC and what this city symbolizes for people.
Wait, does anyone know her assistant’s name? Is there a way we can verify this? Anyone? Bueller?
Update: Readers Rachel and Anna emailed me within seconds of each other. There are two associate producers listed for the movie. One is Melinda Relyea, who was SJP’s assistant for Failure to Launch and The Family Stone. Nice work, ladies.
IMDB. Tiffany Hayzlett Parker, who’s married to SJP’s brother, Timothy, and
Melinda Relyea, who’s SJP’s assistant.
But an AP credit on a feature is no big deal.
