NIXON CREDITS SEX MOVIE WITH COMING OUT OF CLOSET
Actress CYNTHIA NIXON credits her role in SEX AND THE CITY with giving her the confidence to come out as a lesbian.
Nixon, 42, who plays workaholic, red-headed lawyer Miranda Hobbes on the hit series-turned-feature film, opened up about her relationship with longtime partner Christine Marioni in 2004, after the pair had been dating for over a year.
And, although the actress laughed off reports she is to wed Marioni just last week (16May08), she admits her outspoken role on the hit show is responsible for much of her relationship success.
She says, "(My character has) given me more permission to speak up for myself than I used to." Nixon has previously hailed her relationship with Marioni for helping her successfully beat breast cancer, after she revealed her struggle with the disease during a U.S. TV interview earlier this year (15Apr08).
Nixon ended her 15-year relationship to husband Danny Mozes in 2002, with whom she has two children.
