For all the praise that Sex and the City gets, and it was a fabulous, hilarious and revolutionary shows, we can all readily admit that it had its flaws, as did the movies that followed.
Cynthia Nixon, who played Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City and is in the spotlight again after announcing she’s running for Governor of New York, recently spoke about a scene in the first Sex and the City movie that left her “a little devastated.”
The scene in question is when Mr Big (Chris North) presents Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) with an enormous new wardrobe, and at a screening Nixon attended, the audience applauded the moment. The wardrobe also provides the setting for the dramatic finale in which Carrie and Big are reunited after a long feud.
Speaking on the Wendy Williams show (via The Independent), Nixon said: "It seemed to me that the show was so much about female empowerment and about women making their own choices and women standing up for what they wanted and supporting themselves.
"So, to me, to have this [scene] be a climax of the film, that your very wealthy husband built you a nice closet for your clothes, I thought, 'Wow, that's not really what you love about the show, is it? Cause that's not what we were making it for.'"
Nixon also spoke of how she was inspired to run for Governor after Donald Trump’s election. She explains: "If we don't like the direction our government is going in, we have to step up and we have to get involved like never before, so that's what I'm doing." She also shared some of her political views on the shows, including her support for the legalisation of marijuana, and gun control.
