Cynthia Nixon: The Gilded Age and the Emancipation of Miranda Hobbes
Cynthia Nixon is an American actress and activist who made her Broadway debut in The Philadelphia Story in 1980. She is best known for her role as Miranda Hobbes in the HBO series Sex and the City, for which she won two Emmy Awards and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
In recent years, Nixon has been active in politics, running for Governor of New York in 2018. She is also a vocal advocate for LGBTQ rights and reproductive rights.
In her new role as Marian Brook in HBO's The Gilded Age, Nixon plays a woman who is struggling to find her place in a rapidly changing world. The show is set in New York City in the 1880s, a time of great social and economic upheaval.
Nixon says that she was drawn to the role of Marian because she is a complex and relatable character. "She's a woman who is trying to find her way in the world, and she's not always sure how to do that," Nixon says. "But she's also a strong and independent woman, and she's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in."
Nixon says that she hopes that The Gilded Age will help viewers to understand the challenges that women faced in the 19th century and the progress that has been made since then.
"I think it's important to remember that the women who came before us fought hard for the rights that we have today," Nixon says. "And we need to continue to fight for those rights, because they are not always guaranteed."
