Kristin Davis, known for her role in Sex and the City, announced on November 18 the passing of her father, Tom Atkinson, after a prolonged struggle with Parkinson’s disease. The actress shared this news via an emotional Instagram post.

Kristin honored Tom's legacy as a notable researcher and educator. "He was born in a cabin by a river in North Carolina and later delivered speeches worldwide about psychology research," she shared. "Teaching was his calling, and he loved it deeply. He was brilliant, radiant, and endeared himself to many."

She expressed deep gratitude for her mother, Dorothy Davis, and Tom’s dedicated medical staff. "I remember the devotion my mother showed while caring for him, along with his nurses and caregivers," Kristin noted. "I’m incredibly thankful for their support during his challenging journey."
