    The Sex and the City star's striking new look wasn't an arbitrary style decision.

Nixon herself battled breast cancer in 2006, and now serves as an ambassador or Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

        Being bald by choice is so very different from losing your hair to chemo. That is not a choice, it is another terrifying part of the cancer And if your hair comes back half as nice as before you lost it is another story.

      Shaving your head is such a liberating move. She may never want hair again.

      First, blessings on all cancer survivors (been there). And great job to Cynthia for being such a wonderful actor to get into that role so much to do this.

      Being bald brings out a woman (or man's) beautiful features.

      Emma Thompson was AWESOME in the film! A real good film and definitely a tear jerker.

      I hope there is no sex in the city reunion. The way the those women went down hil they could call it "desperate for sex in the city". Not to make fun of breast cancer.

      Hard to beat Emma's performance. Hats off to Miranda for giving it a go.
