Ari Parker brings an energy that stays true to the show’s spirit
Photo: Cheryl Fox Before we even meet Nicole Ari Parker’s new character on Sex and the City’s highly anticipated reemergence, And Just Like That …, she’s introduced as a set of initials — LTW. She’s Lisa Todd Wexley, also known as LTW to Charlotte and the other moms on the parent school board. “She’s just so cool,” Charlotte says to her two besties over lunch. Lisa is a documentarian, humanitarian, and on top of that, a line on the International Vogue Best Dressed list, boasts Charlotte.
She’s dressed in her own version of the uptown New York uniform: a sleek updo, a dark peacoat, fitted jeans, and boots. Maybe it’s the confidence in her posture, or maybe it’s the buoyancy of the SATC excitement, but even in her rushed state, she commands attention. She’s immediately amused by the fact that there are already fries on the table when she arrives. “It’s like you knew,” she says, like it’s an inside joke she can’t wait for everyone else to be in on.
Before this, Nicole Ari Parker was booked and busy. She’s been acting nonstop in film, television, and even a role on Broadway since the early ’90s, with credentials like Soul Food, Murder in the First, and Empire. With her new role, Parker is inheriting a position in one of pop culture’s most iconic fan communities. And that comes with certain pressure.
“I think that all the friendships that happen on the show in this new iteration are natural,” she says. For her, this series continues the spirit of what the original show was about: “heartbreak or job changes or big choices. If you had a group of girlfriends, you could hash it out with, and now you have this new batch of friends and you’re seeing that same dynamic, which I think is what I think we need right now in terms of female friendship, female empowerment.
