As Sex and the City’s Miranda, she was one of TV’s most recognizable red heads. But Cynthia Nixon unveiled a stark new look on “Live With Kelly” this morning. The actress, 45, surprised viewers with a bald head after shaving her locks off for her role in the Manhattan Theatre Club production of Wit. She plays cancer stricken poetry professor Vivian Bearing in the play, which opens on January 26 at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
She follows the footsteps of Who’s the Boss actress Judith Light, who also shaved her hair for the same role a decade ago.
Of course, it is a role close to Nixon’s heart – she herself discovered she had the early stages of breast cancer during a routine mammogram in 2006.
She had a lumpectomy and radiation – but no chemotherapy – and continues to take the drug Tamoxifen, which blocks the actions of estrogen and is used to treat and prevent some types of breast cancer.
