Sarah Jessica Parker: A Look Through the Years

Silver-Screen Teen

SJP’s depth and likability in Square Pegs caught the eye of multiple casting directors, jump-starting her transition from the small screen to the big screen. Her two most notable breakout roles put both her acting and dancing talents on display: She had a supporting role alongside Kevin Bacon in the 1984 hit musical drama Footloose, and nabbed her first lead role as the rebellious, dance-obsessed Janey Glenn (pictured) the following year in Girls Just Want to Have Fun, with Helen Hunt.
