“The ‘Sex and the City’ family has lost one of its own.
“His multitude of gifts as an actor and person will be missed by everyone.
In this sad, dark moment we are comforted by our memory of his joy and light.”

But as it turns out, their friendship extended beyond the screen.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Willie Garson were actually dear friends in real life.
According toDeadline, Parker and Garson were friends long before “Sex and the City.”

In fact, they met on a blind date.
“Mostly it was just a lot of laughing.
I, inwardly and outwardly, certainly am very different from the character.
So it was a lot of us laughing.
We could barely make it through scenes.”
