Cynthia Nixon played Miranda Hobbes on Sex and the City The series ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2004 Nixon revealed what she "hated" about the show in a new interview with GraziaSex and the City will forever be a cultural phenomenon, but that doesn't mean there aren't a few things Cynthia Nixon wouldn't change about it. In a conversation with Grazia published on Monday, May 26, the actress, 59, who played Miranda Hobbes on the beloved series, opened up about what she would change about Sex and the City. She told the outlet that while she felt that 90% of the show, which ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2004, was "still pretty great," she felt like "certain things have really not aged well."

When we would raise it, we were told this is Candace Bushnell's [the writer of the newspaper column and 1996 book on which the show is based] world and it's a very white world. 'I'm like, OK…,' " she said. Nixon, who is married to wife Christine Marinoni, also said that "some of the trans stuff, some of the gay stuff was a little cringy to look at." The show, however, will always feel "revolutionary" for Nixon regardless of its misses, as she told Grazia that it is "a feminist show – it's always been a feminist show." "What you have to remember is that we were in our thirties and forties. Of course, I look at the show now, we look like babies, but being single at that age, at that time, still had a kind of stigma," said Davis. "Its central message was unheard of: 'You can be a woman, you can have a lot of sex with a lot of different people. It didn't make you a slut and it didn't mean you were using sex to get something. You were having sex – because you enjoyed having sex!' " she said.

Kristin Davis candidly admits Alec Baldwin's massive Hamptons home made her reconsider breakup
Kristin Davis has shared the 'embarrassing' reason she was torn over breaking up with Alec Baldwin in the early 2000s. The Sex and the City alum appeared on Rob Lowe 's Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast on Thursday where she discussed her relationship with the 30 Rock star. 'This is the thing. Alec Baldwin was so rich by the time I dated Alec Baldwin, OK? Can I just say that straight out,' Davis told Lowe. 'Like one of the best things about Alec Baldwin when I dated him is that he had the most incredible house in Amagansett.' She recalled her hesitancy about breaking up with Baldwin because of the Hamptons property, despite her reservations about their relationship. 'I remember I was at work and I was like, 'Sarah Jessica [Parker], I just don't know if it's going to work out with Alec and I, but I just really love that house,' the And Just Like That… actor said. 'Which is literally one of the only times I have felt that way, do you know? When I'm like, 'I don't want to break up with this person because I like his house.' It's so embarrassing to say that out loud, but it's true.' Baldwin went on to marry his current wife Hilaria in 2012 after his previous marriage to Kim Basinger. While Davis has never married, she did adopt two children: her daughter Gemma in 2011 and her son Wilson in 2018. Davis also told Lowe that the 30 Rock alum was not the actor who ghosted her after she loaned them $5,000. 'I never would have had to lend Alec $5,000, my God,' she said. During an episode of her podcast, Are You A Charlotte?, last month, Davis revealed that an actor she once dated, who is now 'very successful,' 'ghosted' her after she lent them money. 'A long time ago I was ghosted. I don't know exactly. It's hard to define the term 'ghosting.' I think it was when there were cellphones,' she said. 'I did one time date this out-of-work actor. I think this was before Sex and the City. He's now very successful. He's very talented. But at the time, I had money because I had been working,' she continued. 'And I was at his house and he had all of these like, 'Your electricity is going to be turned off' notices that you get when you can't pay your bills.' 'I was like, 'Can I lend you some money?'' Davis remembered asking him. 'Horrible mistake. Anyone listening, do not lend anyone money that you are dating. It doesn't end well. It really irked me.'
