Cynthia Nixon Looks Back on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent"

[JamesG]

On the "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" episode 'Icarus', Cynthia Nixon plays an ego-mad Broadway director who is overseeing one of the greatest disasters in Broadway history.

Viewers saw clear parallels between the fiasco of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark and likened Nixon's character, Amanda Reese, to Spider-Man director Julie Taymor.



However, Nixon has never met Taymor and has been advised to never make the link herself between the role and the real director.

"But it was fun playing an artist," she adds. "Certainly the clothes were great. I have a lot of them still. And I am now a director myself."



Nixon makes a habit of keeping clothes from some of her more fashionable characters (Miranda in particular), but she often still wears her wardrobe from this guest star gig.

"It's great stuff," she says. "Other than workout wear, I never buy any clothes, because I have so many clothes, certainly from Sex and the City, and from other things too."
