Cynthia always wanted to be an actress like her mother. She made her television debut in the series “The Seven Wishes of a Rich Kid” (1979) and the appeared on the big screen in “Little Darlings” (1980). Meanwhile, she was working on the stage of Broadway, too. However, she had to work for some time before she attracted the attention of critics.

In 1995, she was nominated for the Tony Award for her successful appearance in the play “Indiscretions” (1994). Soon, she was invited to take one of the lead roles in the sitcom “Sex and the City” (1998-2004) created by Darren Star and it was definitely the right decision. The sitcom was criticised because of the influence it has on teenagers, though audiences adored the series and every season had outstandingly high ratings. More, the series were nominated for more than 50 Emmy and 24 Golden Globe Awards, and Nixon won an Emmy and two Screen Actors Guild Awards for the role of Miranda Hobbes.
Due to the popularity of the franchise, feature films “Sex and the City: The Movie” (2008) and “Sex and the City 2” (2010) were released.

She was nominated for Emmy and Satellite Awards for the above mentioned role. In addition to this, Nixon won a Tony award for her role in the play “Rabbit Hole” (2006).
Cynthia was been diagnosed with cancer in 2006. Since 2008, she has been an activist for breast cancer research and awareness, and talks about it openly. More, Nixon is the Ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
