Early life and education
Nixon was born in Manhattan, the only child of Walter Elmer Nixon Jr., a radio journalist from Texas,[5][6][7] and Anne Elizabeth (née Knoll),[8] an actress originally from Chicago.[9][10] She credits her mother with "indoctrinating" her into theatre.[11] She is of English and German descent.[12][13] Her grandparents were Adolph Knoll, Etta Elizabeth Williams, Walter E. Nixon, and Grace Truman McCormack.[14][15][16] Nixon's parents divorced when she was six years old.[9] According to Nixon, her father was often unemployed[9] and her mother was the household's main breadwinner:[10] Nixon's mother worked on the game show To Tell the Truth, coaching the "impostors" who claimed to be the person described by the host.
Nixon was an actress all through her years at Hunter College Elementary School and Hunter College High School (class of 1984), often taking time away from school to perform in film and on stage.[17][18] Nixon also acted in order to pay her way through Barnard College, where she received a B.A.[19] in English Literature.[20] Nixon was also a student in the Semester at Sea Program in the Spring of 1986.[21]
Career
1979–1997: Early roles and theatre work
Nixon's first onscreen appearance was as an imposter on To Tell the Truth, where her mother worked, at 8, pretending to be a junior horse riding champion.
In 1984, while a freshman at Barnard College, Nixon made theatrical history by simultaneously appearing in two hit Broadway plays directed by

2012–2019: Return to Broadway
In 2012, Nixon starred as Professor Vivian Bearing in the Broadway debut of Margaret Edson's Pulitzer Prize–winning play
In 2015, Nixon appeared in two films which premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival: Stockholm, Pennsylvania and James White. She received critical acclaim for both performances, especially for the latter, which some[according to whom?] considered as "Oscar-worthy".[43][44][45][46]
Nixon played the leading role of reclusive American poet Emily Dickinson in the biographical film A Quiet Passion directed and written by Terence Davies.[47] The film premiered in February 2016 at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival. In May 2016, it was announced that Nixon would play Nancy Reagan in the upcoming television film adaptation of Killing Reagan.[48] The film aired in October 2016.[48]
Nixon appeared on Broadway in the revival of The Little Foxes, officially opening on April 19, 2017, at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. She alternated the roles of Regina and Birdie with Laura Linney, winning her second Tony Award for her performance as Birdie.[49]

.Political activism
Nixon is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Nixon is a long-time advocate for public education. She is a spokesperson for New York's Alliance for Quality Education, a public education fairness advocacy organization.[1][51][52] Nixon also has a history of advocacy in support of women's health.[1]
She endorsed
In the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries, Nixon endorsed Bernie Sanders before campaigning for him in early February 2020 in Las Vegas. She stated, "In the same terrifying and muscular way that Trump is a force for so much of what is bad in this country, in this world, Bernie has that same kind of muscularity of vision but for good. A candidate who is too beholden to big money and the establishment and just basically doesn't want to rock the boat is never going to be a powerful enough counterbalance to what Donald Trump has to offer. You need someone as vigorous and who is wanting to turn the system upside down."[54]
In 2023, Nixon signed an open letter expressing "serious concerns about editorial bias" in reporting by the
2018 New York gubernatorial election
On March 19, 2018, Nixon announced her
In 2018, it was reported that Nixon was preparing a progressive challenge to the incumbent governor of New York,
Nixon was expected to secure the nomination of the Working Families Party of New York during its annual convention in April 2018, thus guaranteeing her a spot on the general election ballot.[64] On April 15, Nixon won 91.5 percent of the vote at the Party's statewide committee meeting after Cuomo withdrew himself from consideration at the last minute. Nixon stated that in the event that she did not also secure the Democratic nomination, she would "confer with the Working Families Party and we will make the decision we think is best".[65]
The endorsement caused a schism in the party, as labor unions, including the Service Employees International Union, and Communications Workers of America, indicated they would not support the party in the election. The withdrawal, it was believed, would significantly hurt the party's finances which, in 2018, were at a level of $1.7 million and supported a statewide staff of about 15 people. The battle received considerable attention since there were concerns that Nixon might drain enough votes from Cuomo in the general election to allow a Republican to be elected (though Cuomo was comfortably leading the polls at the time). Cuomo had vigorously campaigned to get the nomination before withdrawing when it was clear he would not get it.[66][67]
In contrast to Cuomo, Nixon supported the
On June 22, 2018, during a campaign event in New York City, Nixon referred to the
On May 23, 2018, Nixon and other potential Democratic challengers to Cuomo were eliminated from the Democratic party endorsement at the state Democratic Convention after failing to meet the 25% state delegate threshold needed to appear on the ballot.[78] Nixon filed a petition with 65,000 signatures, more than four times the 15,000 required, to force a primary election.[79] The primary was held on September 13.[80] With 93% of precincts reporting, Cuomo received 65% of votes and Nixon got 35%.[81]
On October 5, 2018, the Working Families Party removed Nixon's name from their ticket after deciding to endorse Cuomo and Hochul, thus ensuring that Nixon would not appear on the general election ballot.[82]
In August 2021, Cuomo was forced to resign as governor following allegations of sexual harassment by women who worked in his office.[83] As a result of the scandal, he was stripped of the honorary Emmy given to him for his televised Covid briefings in 2020.[84] After he left office, Nixon tweeted on August 24, 2021: "The difference between me and Andrew Cuomo? Neither of us is governor, but I still have my Emmy(s)."[85]
Israel-Gaza War
Cynthia Nixon supports South Africa's Genocide Convention against Israel. She contributed to a video series, published by the Palestine Festival of Literature, in support of South Africa's motion, accusing Israel of genocide in its war against civilians in Gaza. The ICJ ruled it was plausible that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.[86]
Personal life
From 1988 to 2003, Nixon was in a relationship with educator Danny Mozes.[87] They have two children together. In June 2018, Nixon revealed that her older child is transgender.[88][89]
In 2004, Nixon began dating education activist Christine Marinoni. Nixon and Marinoni became engaged in April 2009,[90] and married in New York City on May 27, 2012, with Nixon wearing a custom-made, pale green dress by Carolina Herrera.[87][91] Marinoni gave birth to a son in 2011.[92]
Regarding her
In October 2006, Nixon was diagnosed with breast cancer during a routine mammography.[97] She initially decided not to go public with her illness because she feared it might hurt her career,[98] but in April 2008, she announced her battle with the disease in an interview with Good Morning America.[97] Since then, Nixon has become a breast cancer activist. She convinced the head of NBC to air her breast cancer special in a prime time program,[98] and became an ambassador for Susan G. Komen for the Cure.[99]
She and Marinoni live in the NoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.[100][101] Nixon and her family attend Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, an LGBT synagogue.[102][103][104]
