Fans go crazy for Cynthia Nixon on Sex and the City set

Flame-haired actress the real draw as SATC cameras start rolling again

Ask any woman which Sex and the City character she's most like, and we guarantee Miranda's name would be bottom of the list, however, it seems the woman who plays her, Cynthia Nixon, is far more popular.

Unpredictably, the lesbian actress is proving the most popular draw on the Sex and the City movie set in New York City this week, with extra security needed to keep the 'hysterial' crowds at bay every time she appears to film a scene.

'People were screaming and trying to push past guards,' an onlooker told ContactMusic.com. 'The fans were just too much. Security looked legitimately concerned for her safety.'

Mind you, that doesn't mean they're not interested in the other stars appearing in the film.

'At one point, teenage girls were practically trampling each other trying to get to Sarah Jessica as she was walking back to her trailer,' adds the spy, 'but her security team was shoving everyone out of the way.'
