  • She emphasized there is not a single path to becoming an educated adult and urged her children to pursue the forms of learning that fulfill them
  • Her eldest son, James Wilkie Broderick, 22, made his acting debut this year on CBS’s Elsbeth in a guest role alongside his father, Matthew Broderick
  • Parker noted she hopes twins Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta Elwell, 15, feel empowered to make their own choices and follow interests that excite them
  • Despite a combined $200 million net worth, the family keeps a low profile in New York City and prioritizes grounding their children amidst their celebrity lives
