“To have Ryan [Murphy] go back and look at this period and reinsert us into the history...and really talk honestly...on all the many trials and tribulations and obstacles and persecutions that we underwent is really, really important,' Nixon said.
Actress Cynthia Nixon, best known for her role in the hit HBO hit show “Sex and the City,” is set to play the sapphic love interest of the title character in the Netflix series “Ratched,” starring Sarah Paulson.
The series, by “American Horror Story” and “Glee” co-creator Ryan Murphy, is the origin story of Nurse Mildred Ratched, the infamous psychiatric ward tyrant from Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and the 1975 Academy Award-winning film of the same name. Nixon’s character, Gwendolyn Briggs, is the dapper press secretary for the California governor in a post-World War II America.
. “I ask her out, but I also think that the mental hospital that she works at could be the centerpiece of the governor’s re-election campaign as so many soldiers are coming back with PTSD, and so I try to … merge these two things,” she said, referring to post-traumatic stress disorder.Sign Up
