Sarah Jessica Parker Says Costar Willie Garson’s Death Is ‘Unbearable’ in Moving Tribute
Sarah Jessica Parker just shared a moving tribute to her Sex and the City costar and friend, Willie Garson.
“It’s been unbearable,” Parker shared on September 24, three days after Garson died at 57 years old. “Sometimes silence is a statement. Of the gravity. The anguish. The magnitude of the loss of a 30 + year friendship. 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.”
She continued, “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.”
In the lengthy Instagram message, which featured a series of moments between Sarah Jessica Parker and Willie Garson on and off the set of their series, the actor shared his last words to her. “Great bangles all round,” he had told her, to which she wrote, “Yes. Godspeed Willie Garson. RIP.”
Following the shocking news of the White Collar star’s death after a battle with pancreatic cancer, many of his Sex and the City costars—some of whom recently reunited with Garson to film the reboot, And Just Like That…—took to social media to pay homage to the prolific actor known for his portrayal of Stanford Blatch.
“So deeply, deeply sad we have lost @WillieGarson,” Cynthia Nixon tweeted. “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.”
“Such sad news and a terribly sad loss to the SATC family,” Kim Cattrall tweeted. “Our condolences and RIP dear Willie xo.” Kristin Davis also posted a lengthy Instagram tribute.
On September 22, Chris Noth shared an image of Parker and Garson to Instagram, simply writing, “Willie.” At the time Parker replied to the post, “Thank you dearest Chris. I’m not ready yet.”
