Best known for her role as the smart, confident lawyer Miranda Hobbes in HBO’s Sex and the City, Cynthia Nixon has had a long career in film, theatre, and television. From her accomplishments to her challenges, here’s a list of 10 things that are worth knowing about one of our favourite redheads:
10. Child Actor
Cynthia began her acting career at the early age of 12. Her first major break was the film, Little Darlings, where she co-starred alongside Matt Dillon and Tatum O’Neal. When asked about why she wanted to become an actor at a young age, Cynthia said, “I started at 12. When I was growing up in New York, it was a golden age for child actors…so it seemed possible, not some glassed-off world. My mother had been an actress and knew people in the business.”
