Cynthia Nixon
Actor
Cynthia Nixon has been performing on stage and screen since her teen years, but it was her role as Miranda Hobbes on TV's Sex and the City (1998-2004) that made her a star. Nixon has worked steadily since her feature film debut in the teen comedy Little Darlings (1980). She has had small roles in movies, including Amadeus (1984), Addams Family Values (1993, with Christina Ricci) and Igby Goes Down (2002, with Claire Danes), and on television -- notably as the teenage daughter in the political satire mini-series Tanner '88. She has also had several roles in Broadway plays, including a Tony-nominated performance in Indiscretions (1995). On Sex and the City (with co-star Sarah Jessica Parker), she played a work-oriented single mother with an on-again, off-again relationship with her child's father, a role that earned her an Emmy in 2004.Blog posts mentioning Cynthia Nixon:
