@emilyinparis creator Darren Star has been making buzzy shows since the days of 'Beverly Hills, 90210.' But while Star—who also helped make 'Sex and the City'—knows how to draw us in with high fashion and high drama, it’s the sometimes messy realness of his characters that he credits for his success. “I don’t think a viewer is engaging with a show for years if they’re not finding it meaningful to them in some way," says Star. "‘90210’ still means something to them. ‘Sex and the City’ means something to them.” At the link in bio, #DarrenStar retraces his career, from breaking boundaries with an openly gay character on ‘Melrose Place’ to writing flawed but likeable characters like Carrie Bradshaw and Emily Cooper.
