Parker confirmed the sad news in an Instagram post she shared two days later, on Friday, September 30.
"Godspeed. RIP Strong like a bull. Til the end. At home and among all those who loved you dearly, you will be missed always," she captioned a picture of her stepfather, along with his name, birth and death years. "We will take good care of Mommy, who you worshipped for 54 years.X, SJ."
Her SATC costar Cynthia Nixon later told reporters that Parker was having a "really tough" time, during an interview at PaleyFest New York on Monday, October 10.
Added Nixon, "It’s not just tough for her own loss, but certainly for her mom [Barbra Forste]."
