 Cynthia Nixon
Spotlight By: Andrea Tuccillo Cynthia Nixon spent six years playing Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City, a smart, self-assured, accomplished woman that sounds a lot like Nixon herself. Nixon always appears poised. She’s fashionable, but not obsessed with fashion, and seems comfortable in her own skin. So when it came time to slip back into Miranda-mode for the hotly anticipated Sex and the City movie, the transition was almost effortless. “I feel like we really know these characters very well and [director] Michael Patrick [King], who is writing it, he knows them very well and you put on the clothes, you dye your hair, you get back with these women; it’s not too hard,” she says. And if you think she’s disappointed that Miranda doesn’t get to be as glamorous as pals Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Samantha (Kim Cattrall), think again. “She might have less of a glamour quotient then the other girls, but she is very, very based in reality and has a storyline in the movie that so many women can relate to,” Nixon says.

But despite all that, Nixon does truly believe that these people would be friends in real life. “I find the people I gravitate towards are the people that have something that I wish that I had and I don’t and I kind of want to hang out with them to learn how they got to be that way and maybe take some of that from them,” she says. “But I also feel like one important thing to remember about the four of them is they’re all friends through Carrie. And people say all different things about the three of us like we’re really the brain, the heart and the libido of Carrie—that we’re three ... |
