Cynthia Nixon: Life in pictures
Cynthia cant stay out of the hospital
After her award-winning stint in Sex wrapped in 2004, Cynthia was all about the hospital shows. She appeared on ER and House in 2005. (Ricardo DeAratanha / Los Angeles Times)
Cynthias secret
Then in 2004, it came out that Cynthia had been involved in a year-long relationship with someone other than Danny Mozes -- oh yeah -- and that someone happened to be a woman.
At least thats how Cynthia described it to New York Magazine: I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me around that woke up or that came out of the closet; there wasnt a struggle, there wasnt an attempt to suppress. I met this woman, I fell in love with her and Im a public figure.

No more running
When the news about her new girlfriend came out, Cynthia accomplished the impossible: she persuaded the press that there was nothing worth reporting.
I feel like there was an enormous temperature spike, where I was on the front page of two daily papers, Cynthia told New York Magazine. They almost put me on the cover of People magazine. And then it died. Because there wasnt really anything to say. I cant remember in what context they tell people this, but if someone is chasing you, stop running. And then theyll stop chasing you.

Cynthia the activist
Cynthia is involved with a group focused on improving the public school system. As she told Education Update Online: With the middle-class movement away from the public schools, funding has dropped significantly. I think that needs to be addressed. (Tractenberg & Co. / Associated Press)
‘Sex’ on the silver screen
Sex and the City fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief: The movie comes out in 2008.
All of the main female characters are back and the men have signed on too. Break a leg, Cynthia! (James Devaney / WireImage)
