Sarah Jessica Parker moving across from Mr. Big?

OMG-- I just saw an item that Sarah Jessica Parker and Mathew Broderick, who have been hunting for a new house for a long time, have apparently bought a 19th century townhouse on East 10th Street next door to where I once lived! And...wait for it....directly across the street from Chris Noth's apt. in the Brevoort East Apartment Building on University Place near NYU in Greenwich Village!!

Sarah and Mathew have lived in the Village for years over on Charles Street...Mathew grew up in the Village at nearby 27 Washington Square North (same building as my acting teacher, the late great Uta Hagen) and their Charles Street home is, by coincidence, right around the corner from the location used on SEX AND THE CITY as "Carrie Bradshaw's apt."...66 Perry Street.
Funny how these things happen!
In my mind's eye I still remember Sarah and her Mom and family...we all worked together in the Alvin Theatre back when a young teenage Sarah was the third "Annie" on Broadway, promoted from her role as "July" in the orphan chorus. I'm sure she doesn't remember me at all, even though I used to hang out in her dressing room with her brother Toby and his friend Robert Klein. As a teenager in acting school, I sold souvenirs and Annie dolls in the lobby for Ray Fanning and lived in a cold-water flat on nearby Ninth Avenue. I also helped Sarah & her Mom and Brooke & Teri Shields empty out her dressing room and load the car on Sarah's last day as Annie (she was growing up too quickly) but I'm sure nobody remembers me. Now I'm one of New York's best guides with wonderful memories and stories. I worked as an extra on Sex and the City several times, even though I begged my old friend Camille Hickman (Sex and the City co-casting director) several times to give me a small part---and Sarah Jessica looked at me on the set as if she remembered me, but it wasn't the time or place to go into "old time remembrances from our childhood." She was the "star"...I was the "extra."

SHHHH---All About the NEW Sex & The City MOVIE!!

SEX and the CITY Movie Spoiler alert! (Courtesy of the NY Post and other combined sources from around town)….Continuing to read this will tell you far more about the new movie than has been told anywhere else. "Everything is bigger," says an insider. "There's more extras, more locations and the locations are more fabulous. No one shoots inside St. Patrick’s Cathedral or New York Public Library but Sex and the City shot in both places…as well as a LOT of places off limits to other productions. Last year, the production requested shooting permits for no fewer than 45 separate locations between August and December.
According to the Mayor’s Office of Film, Sex & the City filming locations ranged from hidden, out of the way spots to Lenox Hill Hospital, the offices of Vogue, Junior's in Brooklyn, Bemelman’s Bar in The Carlyle Hotel, Bryant Park, the Duke-Semans Mansion on Fifth Ave. across from the Met, trendy restaurants like Lumi and Buddakhan in the Meatpacking District, various glamorous locations in midtown and the Upper Eastside, Flatiron District, Times Square, Rock Center, the Village, SoHo and TriBeca. Also a clifftop villa in Mexico is used in one important scene where Carrie tosses her bejeweled cellphone off the cliff into the ocean.
Fashion used includes: Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, Versace, YSL, Ferragamo, Zac Posen, Dior, Cynthia Rowley, Marc Jacobs, etc.) LOTS of bling (every day the girls wore real jewels estimated at $2.5 million, from deals made with Tiffany, H. Stern and other top jewelers).
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other famous New York faces have cameos—Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson, plays Louise, Carrie's assistant, who is a “label queen” and looking for love.
The plot: Carrie and Big (Chris Noth), get engaged, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) has moved to a Malibu beach house(which makes for lots of fun sex in the sand shots), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Harry (Evan Handler) get pregnant, and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Steve (David Eigenberg) grapple with infidelity. The movie starts with Fashion Week (with a re-built tent in Bryant Park), and gets “bigger” from there. Mr. Big’s full name, we discover, is John James Preston.
One of the new characters is Dante, a sexy young LA stud in his 30s who lives next door to Samantha, distracting her from her movie-star boyfriend Smith (Jason Lewis), whose career is now hot. Dante, apparently is the male version of Samantha…watch out!
Carrie’s wedding goes up in smoke and sources say that Carrie makes bitterly funny comments about her wedding gown to her friends….she calls it the perfect thing to be "jilted" in. Perhaps, she says, people have seen her in Vogue, where they may be able to touch up "pores" but not "pain."
Carrie’s failed wedding, Samantha’s sex with the neighbor, Charlotte's pregnancy and Miranda's marital woes provide key dramatic plot points.
Also, Carrie tells Samantha at one point she's completely revamping her life, right down to her cellphone area code. She's now "347," she complains (referring to the new, additional cellphone area code). Samantha tries to comfort her with a reminder that 347 is "the new New York."
In one scene, the four friends sit drinking Cosmopolitans. Charlotte remarks on how delicious they are. Miranda then wonders why they ever stopped drinking them in the first place. Carrie responds sharply, they had to after the rest of the world started.
Miranda catches Steve in marital infidelity, prompting her to move back to Manhattan from their Brooklyn home in Park Slope. One particularly moving scene is when Miranda breaks the news of her marital issues with Steve to his dementia-stricken mother. When she tries to explain the situation, his mother (Anne Meara) asks, "Who's Steve?" Carrie then does a classic, irony-drenched "SATC" voice-over, quipping that her friend is starting to see the positive side of Alzheimer's.
As Samantha and the girls leave a Fashion Week tent, a PETA activist jumps out of nowhere, spraying her with red paint. "God," Samantha wryly says after a beat, "I miss New York!"
