BIOGRAPHY
At barely 12 years old, Cynthia Nixon began to cut her teeth in the theater. Over the years, she gained experience and performed in numerous Broadway plays. From this period, his work was recognized with a Tony Award nomination for his role in “Indiscretions” and an award at the Los Angeles Drama Critics Awards. At the same time, she appeared in television series such as Nash Bridges or Arabesque .
The 80s marked a turning point in the actress’s career since cinema opened its doors to her. We discovered her on the big screen in Little Darlings (1980) by Ronald F. Maxwell . She then continued with other small roles in front of the cameras of prestigious directors: Sidney Lumet in The Prince of New York (1981), Milos Forman in the cult Amadeus (1984) and Alan J. Pakula in the thriller The Pelican Affair (1984 ). 1993). Despite her various contributions to leading directors, the actress remains unknown to the general public.
It was not until 1998 that Cynthia Nixon completely exploded. The actress landed the role of Miranda Hobbes in the HBO phenomenon series: Sex & the City . From 1998 to 2004, alongside Sarah Jessica Parker , Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis , she played a brilliant, sophisticated and cynical lawyer who does not believe in the virtues of love. This role then propelled her to star in the small window.
After a discreet return to cinema in 2006 in Little Manhattan by Mark Levin , she returned the following year to the role of Miranda in Sex and the City – The Movie , the film adaptation of the series of the same name directed by Michael Patrick King .
