'Hocus Pocus 2': Sarah Jessica Parker has a surprising (and spooky) connection to her 'Hocus Pocus' role

But if you're unfamiliar with SJP's Ohio roots, continue below to read about her time in the Buckeye State, specifically Cincinnati.

Sarah Jessica Parker was born in Nelsonville

Sarah Jessica Parker was born on March 25, 1965, in Nelsonville, Ohio, to Barbra Forste (nee Keck), a nursery school teacher, and Stephen Parker, a journalist.

According to the Daily Mail, Parker's parents divorced when she was three. Her mother then remarried Paul Giffin Forste, a truck driver and account executive. Parker remained in the Southeast Ohio town until the age of four when her family relocated to Cincinnati.

Parker's mother is a native Cincinnatian

Forste, Parker's mother, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 2, 1938, and is of German descent. Parker admitted she didn't know much about her mother's Cincinnati German roots during her appearance on NBC's genealogy series, "Who Do You Think You Are?"

The star returned to Cincinnati for the show to retrace her German roots, and even took a walk down Ludlow Avenue. She also met with genealogist Natalie Cottrill at the Cincinnati Public Library's Clifton branch and UCLA history professor Stephen Aron at the Cincinnati Museum Center.
