| | Information | Born in Honolulu, Nicole Kidman (b. 1967) lived in Washington D.C. until the age of three, when her parents returned to live in their native Australia. She entered drama school at ten, and made her film debut at fourteen in Bush Christmas (1983). After a strong performance in the TV mini-series Vietnam (1987) she starred in Dead Calm (1989). This film brought her to the attention of Tom Cruise, who summoned her to Hollywood to co-star in Days of Thunder (1990). The pair married the following year, and remained together until Cruise filed for divorce in 2001. Although Hollywood initially consigned the 180cm actress to eye-candy roles, including an appearance as Batman's girlfriend in Batman Forever (1995), her performance in To Die For (1995) alerted America to her credentials as a serious actress. She has since won Golden Globes for Moulin Rouge (2000) and The Hours (2002). In 2003, for her performance in The Hours, she became the first Australian to win the Academy Award for Best Actress. |
