Sarah Jessica Parker Shares Willie Garson’s Last Words to Her

Actress Sarah Jessica Parker shared a heartbreaking tribute to Willie Garson today, following his death Tuesday from pancreatic cancer.

Parker, 56, and Garson, 57, played best friends on “Sex and the City” as Carrie Bradshaw and Stanford Blatch, and were in the process of reprising their roles while filming the sequel series “And Just Like That…”

Sarah Jessica is one of the last cast members to publicly honor the star, and she wrote on Instagram, “It’s been unbearable. Sometimes silence is a statement. Of the gravity. The anguish. The magnitude of the loss of a 30 + year friendship.”

She went on, “A real friendship that allowed for secrets, adventure, a shared professional family, truth, concerts, road trips, meals, late night phone calls, a mutual devotion to parenthood and all the heartaches and joy that accompany, triumphs, disappointments, fear, rage and years spent on sets (most especially Carrie’s apartment) and laughing late into the night as both Stanford and Carrie and Willie and SJ.”

Addressing her late friend, she wrote, “Willie. I will miss everything about you. And replay our last moments together. I will re-read every text from your final days and put to pen our last calls. Your absence a crater that I will fill with blessing of these memories and all the ones that are still in recesses yet to surface.”

The star also addressed Willie’s son Nathen, sharing, “My love and deepest sympathies and condolences to you dear Nathen. You were and are the light of Willie’s life and his greatest achievement was being your Papa.”

She shared, “These were his last words to me. ‘Great bangles all around.’ Yes.”

Parker closed with, “Godspeed Willie Garson. RIP.” She included a series of images from their years of friendship. See them here.

Earlier this week, Sarah explained she wasn’t ready to address the loss.

When Chris Noth, who plays Mr. Big, shared a photo of Parker and Garson with the message “Willie❤️💔,” Sarah responded with, “Thank you dearest Chris. I’m not ready yet. Xxx.”

Previous tributes came from “SATC” stars including Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes), who wrote, “So deeply, deeply sad we have lost @WillieGarson. We all loved him and adored working with him.  He was endlessly funny on-screen and and in real life. He was a source of light, friendship and show business lore. He was a consummate professional— always.”

Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) wrote, in part, “He was smarter and funnier than you ever would have imagined. We are bereft without him.”

Kim Cattrall (Samantha Jones) posted, “Such sad news and a terribly sad loss to the SATC family. Our condolences and RIP dear Willie xo.”
