Sarah Jessica Parker threw a family dinner party to celebrate her mother’s 75th birthday on Wednesday (07.24.13).
The ‘Sex and the City’ actress marked mom Barbara’s milestone birthday by gathering more than 30 family members – including her actor husband Matthew Broderick, son James, 10, and four-year-old twin daughters Marion and Tabitha – for a fun family evening at trendy French eatery, Le Charlot, in New York City’s Upper East Side.
The 48-year-old star hired a private space at the restaurant and treated the birthday girl and family members to a lavish dinner, which consisted of several courses.
A source told the New York Post newspaper the generational gathering – which saw Barbara’s 11 grandchildren, who are aged between 12 and just two weeks old – was "full of joy".
As well as her famous daughter, Barbara – a teacher and former actress herself – has seven other children from two marriages.
The matriarch split from Sarah’s father, journalist Stephen Parker, while she was a child and later married truck driver Paul Forste.
The birthday dinner is just the latest display of affection from family-focused Sarah.
Although she could stop acting and live off the lucrative royalties she receives from syndication of her hit show – which ran between 1998 and 2004 – the actress is insistent on continuing to work in order to provide for her family.
She said: "I’ve been financially responsible for so many people for such a long time – my family – that it’s not enough to have money for myself. And it’s not about luxury. It’s about my mom’s house payments."
