In 1984-85, while still in her teens and still a high school student, Nixon appeared in two different Broadway plays simultaneously: Tom Stoppards The Real Thing" and David Rabes "Hurlyburly." This was possible because " "Hurlyburly" is a much longer play than "The Real Thing," and also because her character in "Hurlyburly," Donna, only appears in the very beginning and the very end of the play while her character in "The Real Thing," Debbie, is only in one scene during act 2. Both of these productions had the same director, Mike Nichols. In 2014, Nixon appeared in another Broadway production of "The Real Thing"--this time as Charlotte, Debbies mother.

Married people are the enemy, they either pity you or they envy you.

Marriage is something that can take you off your path.
