Carrie Bradshaw
Nelsonville has three connections to Hollywood. It is the birthplace of actress Sarah Jessica Parker, who is best known for her portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw on HBO's "Sex and the City". Nelsonville is also the setting of the 1985 film "Mischief" starring Kelly Preston. The Public Square was also filmed in a nationwide commercial in 1986 for the television game show "Wheel of Fortune" where Pat Sajak and Vanna White traveled around the Nelsonville Victorian square in their convertible.
