Sarah Jessica Parker’s ‘Hocus Pocus’ Casting Was Spookily Spot-On
Sarah Jessica Parker brought the Salem witch Sarah Sanderson to life in 1993's Hocus Pocus and its recent revival with her whimsical, scatty, and often coquettish portrayal, alongside her witchy sisters Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy. However, the And Just Like That... star was completely unaware during her first portrayal of the mischievous witch that she had incredible personal ties to the Salem resident.
Who Was Sarah Jessica Parker's Salem Ancestor? Visiting the Massachusetts Historical Society during the first episode of Who Do You Think You Are? USA, Parker learns about a distant relative, Esther Elwell, who had married into the original Elwell family which had emigrated from England to America, and who had evidently been involved in the trials.
Luckily, Esther was accused of witchcraft near the end of the trials, and as a result, the court was dissolved before Esther could be tried or convicted. Being set free, she reportedly lived to the great age of 82. Sadly, there were many others who weren't so fortunate, during what proved to be one of the darkest periods of American history.
In the 'Hocus Pocus' Movies, Does Art Imitate Life? Sarah Jessica Parker may be relieved that her colonial-era relative was an innocent accused, but the same can't be said for her gleefully evil character Sarah Sanderson. During an interview with ET, she spoke about how her character was scarily "seductive," luring children to their demise whereby their lives would be sucked out of them, and is "covertly scary," due to being "fundamentally evil.
