This is what it means to age gracefully.
On Nov. 9, Cynthia Nixon posted a sweet message about the legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave for being the ultimate role model to her and Sarah Jessica Parker.
"Sarah Jessica Parker (@sarahjessicaparker) and I learned from the incomparable Vanessa Redgrave. We speak of her often—her talent but also her kindness to us little girls. All these decades later we are still doing our best to ‘walk and talk' in her footsteps," she wrote on Instagram.
In the first pic, Cynthia and Sarah walk closely together on the set of HBO Max's And Just Like That. The second image is a flashback still from the 1982 film My Body, My Child, which starred all three women.
"Amazingly we are older now than she was then," Cynthia continued, "and feel so lucky to have aged in this business and met up again with Carrie and Miranda in their mid-fifties, as we are in ours."
Cynthia goes on to proudly state on Instagram, "Amazingly we are older now than she was then and feel so lucky to have aged in this business and met up again with Carrie and Miranda in their mid-fifties, as we are in ours."
The post comes on the heels of recent backlash about the new series. When SATC premiered in 1998, characters Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbs and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) were in their 30s. Accordingly, they are now in their 50s.
In an interview for Vogue's December cover story, Sarah Jessica spoke openly about the "misogynist chatter" she's heard about the stars.
"'Gray hair gray hair gray hair. Does she have gray hair?'" she said about the comments. "I'm sitting with Andy Cohen and he has a full head of gray hair, and he's exquisite. Why is it okay for him? I don't know what to tell you people! Especially on social media. Everyone has something to say. ‘She has too many wrinkles, she doesn't have enough wrinkles.'"
Going on she emphasized, "What am I going to do about it? Stop aging? Disappear?"
Certainly, not!
And Just Like That will premiere on HBO Max in December.
