Nicole Kidman has been playing a supporting role for many years, mainly because she is famous for playing Tom Cruise's wife in real life. She spent the second half of 1990 and finally won the respect she deserved. The Australian actress is 5 feet 1 1 inch tall and has the most distinctive red hair in Hollywood. She first caught the attention of American audiences by playing opposite Cruise in Thunder (1990), but it was not until she died for it in gus van sant's film 1995.
Although many people think Kidman is Australian, she was actually born in Honolulu, Hawaii on June 20th, 1967. Her family lived on the island because Kidman's father, a biochemist, participated in a research project and then moved to Washington, D.C. in the next three years. After her father's project was completed, Kidman and her family-including her mother, nurse/educator and a younger sister-moved to her parents' native Australia. She grew up in an upper-middle class family in the suburb of Longueville, Sydney, and loved art, especially dance and drama. Kidman began ballet training at the age of three and made his debut in a nativity play at the age of six. At the age of ten, she studied acting at drama school, and then received training at St Martin's Youth Theatre in Melbourne and Philip Street Theatre in Sydney.
Shelanded played her first professional role at the age of 14, when she starred in Christmas in Bush (1983). Today, Kidman is a rising star in Ran Ran, and has begun to gain recognition from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. 1999, Kidman starred in stanley kubrick's Eye-opener, her most watched film to date. The film was kept secret from the beginning of production, and Cruise also played Kidman's doctor husband. The pairing of the couple on the screen was promoted as one of the main selling points of the project. However, although Kubrick's death added some conspiracy after the filming, Eyes Wide shut caused a completely different reaction. For Kidman, she played a boring, sexually adventurous Manhattan housewife in this movie and got some best reviews. In the following year, she has been busy with some projects, including Jez Butterworth's birthday girl, in which she played a Russian mail-order bride, and Moulin Rouge in baz luhrmann, who asked her to play a prostitute in Paris in the19th century. After the success of Moulin Rouge, Kidman got more positive attention because he played a cold mother looking for dark secrets in Alejandro Amenabar's thriller The Others. When the 59th Golden Globe Awards were about to be held, Kidman found himself nominated for his unforgettable performances in two films. Although her fragile emotional performance in The Others lost to the performance of Sis Peisker in Todd Field's In the Bedroom, Kidman's optimistic performance in the vivid Moulin Rouge earned this versatile actress the Golden Globe Award for Best Musical/Comedy Actress and the Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Although this is a far cry from her gorgeous turn in Moulin Rouge, Kidman's almost unknown role as Virginia Woolf in The Hours the following year earned the acclaimed actress Oscar and Golden Globe nominations. With the Golden Globe Award she won in 2003, it laid the foundation for the 75th Academy Awards. When the blonde won the elusive Best Actress Oscar the previous year, fans cheered.
After winning the Oscar, Kidman continued to undertake challenging work for excellent directors. She played the leading role in Lars von Trier's Dogwell, although she refused to continue in the trilogy about her role in the film. In 2003, she was again shortlisted for the Oscar for her role as the heroine in Cold Mountain, but the golden statuette was won by co-star Renee Zellweger that year. When she was born, she did solid work for Jonathan Glazer, but in the eyes of many people, she failed because of two comedies, Stepford's Wife and Bewitching, and her skills could not be saved. In 2005, she collaborated with sean penn on the political thriller The Translator. After Nicole married country singer keith urban in 2006, her personal life began to improve. Professionally, she is busy starring in three different works, including the role of photographer Diane Arbus in the biopic Fur.
