The following is from an article in the Ohio University Post on the Ohio Valley Summer Theatre from last year...

"Also, some current Hollywood actors got their first taste of acting in OVST.

"Sarah Jessica Parker was a little girl in ooDark of the Moonoo in 1968," Evarts said. "Her mother was very active in OVST."

Other performers such as Richard Dean Anderson, who played the title role in the TV series ooMacGyveroo and Louise Fletcher, who won an Academy Award for her part as the nurse in ooOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestoo also acted in OVST productions."

I can't find the documentation, but here's what I believe to be true:

Sarah Jessica Parker grew up in Athens, Ohio, the home of Ohio University where either one or both of her parents were/are on the faculty. I have never seen anything to indicate that she attended O.U. or was in any Greek Organization. I think, as has been mentioned above, that she went for acting and dance lessons insead of college.

Before another thread begins, Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly) did receive her college degree with honors from the Ohio University Theatre Department -- but was not in any O.U. sorority chapter.
