Happy Birthday, Sarah Jessica Parker! The original Carrie Bradshaw is fabulous and 47 years old today.

The actress, fashion icon and mom of three is well aware that she's getting older…

"I don't know what I can do about the aging," she told Elle Magazine. "Yes, I am aging. Oh my God, I'm aging all the time. It's like those flowers that wilt in front of you in time-lapse films. But what can I possibly do? Look like a lunatic?'

But the Sex and the City vet isn't worried. "I kept thinking that this age was the one to be worried about," she told Vogue last year. "I assumed that at this point in my life I would be feeling frustrated, left behind, or marginalized, playing parts I was reluctant to. But I've been so busy, I'm not so sure that I see this fallow period yet. I'm not saying it's not coming and that it won't hit me like a ton of bricks, but I do find work that I'm excited about and interested in with people that I want to work with."

We have a feeling we'll be seeing SJP on screen for many years to come!
