Sex And The City star joins Obamas’ arts panel
Sarah Jessica Parker, Forest Whitaker and agent Bryan Lourd were selected for President Barack Obama’s Committee on Arts and the Humanities.
The Hollywood-flavoured government panel will address questions to do with arts and humanities education, cultural diplomacy and how the arts and special events can revive the economy.
Other high-profile players to sit on the panel will be Anna Wintour, Yo-Yo Ma, Edward Norton, Kerry Washington, Alfre Woodard, director George Wolfe, independent filmmaker Liz Manne and publicist Andy Spahn.
Adding some intellectual clout and glamour will be First Lady Michelle Obama, who is the panel’s honorary chairwoman. Co-chairs were named as film producer George Stevens Jr and theatre producer Margo Lion.
