Nicole Kidman Biography

Elegant redhead Nicole Kidman, known as one of Hollywood`s top Australian imports, was actually born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Anthony (a biochemist and clinical psychologist) and Janelle (a nursing instructor) Kidman. The family moved almost immediately to Washington, DC, where Nicole`s father pursued his research on breast cancer, and then, three years later, made the pilgrimage to her parents` native Sydney. Young Nicole`s first love was ballet, but she eventually took up mime and drama as well (her first stage role was a bleating sheep in an elementary school Christmas pageant). In her adolescent years, acting edged out the other arts and became a kind of refuge -- as her classmates sought out fun in the sun, the fair-skinned Kidman retreated to dark rehearsal halls to practice her craft. She worked regularly at the Philip Street Theater, where she once received a personal letter of praise and encouragement from audience member Jane Campion (then a film student). Kidman eventually dropped out of high school to pursue acting full-time. She broke into movies at age 16, landing a role in the Australian holiday favorite Bush Christmas (1983). That appearance touched off a flurry of film and TV offers, including a lead in BMX Bandits (1983) and a turn as a schoolgirl-turned-protester in the miniseries "Vietnam" (1987) (mini) (for which she won her first Australian Film Institute Award). With the help of an American agent, she eventually made her US debut opposite Sam Neill in the at-sea thriller Dead Calm (1989).

Kidman`s next casting coup scored her more than exposure. While starring as Tom Cruise`s doctor/love interest in the racetrack romance Days of Thunder (1990), she won over the Hollywood hunk hook, line, and sinker. After a whirlwind courtship (and decent box office returns), the couple wed on December 24, 1990. Determined not to let her new marital status overshadow her fledgling career, the actress pressed on. She appeared as a catty high school senior in the Australian film Flirting (1991), then as Dustin Hoffman`s moll in the gangster flick Billy Bathgate (1991). She reunited with Cruise for Far and Away (1992), the story of young Irish lovers who flee to America in the late 1800s, and starred opposite Michael Keaton in the tear-tugger My Life (1993/I). Despite her steady employment, critics and moviegoers still hadn`t quite warmed to Kidman as a leading lady. She tried to spice up her image by seducing Val Kilmer in Batman Forever (1995), but achieved her real breakthrough with Gus Van Sant`s To Die For (1995). As a fame-crazed housewife determined to eliminate any obstacle in her path, Kidman proved that she had an impressive range and deadly comic timing. She took home a Golden Globe and several critics` awards for the performance. In 1996, Kidman stepped into a corset to work with her countrywoman and onetime admirer, Jane Campion, on the adaptation of Henry James`s The Portrait of a Lady (1996). A few months later, she tore across the screen as a nuclear weapons expert in The Peacemaker (1997), adding "action star" to her professional repertoire.

She and Cruise then disappeared into a notoriously long, secretive shoot for Stanley Kubrick`s sexual thriller Eyes Wide Shut (1999). The couple`s on-screen shenanigans prompted an increase in public speculation about their sex life (rumors had long been circulating that their marriage was a cover-up for Cruise`s homosexuality); tired of denying tabloid attacks, they

Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • "My Mum was there with me for the birth but my Dad hasn`t met her and Keith`s mum and dad are coming down,"
    Love [2008]
  • "She`s got a little bit of hair. … It has a bit of a reddish tinge."
    Love (the colour of her daughters hair) [2008]
  • "She looks like Keith,"
    Love (about her daughter Sunday Rose) [2008]
  • For an actor, facial expressions and emotions are really important. That`s why I`ll never have Botox. I`ve always been against that and seeing Botox on TV with all the swelling and pain put me off it anyway. The directors always allow actors with Botox but I just say. "No way, not for me". Drinking lots of water, eating fruit and doing yoga is what keeps me looking young naturally. I swear by it. I also use creams with natural ingredients to make wrinkles less visible. Everybody should try these things rather than going the plastic route, which I just hate.
  • I love acting, but it`s much more fun taking the kids to the zoo.
  • I love working with people who are inspired and obsessive.
  • If I packaged toothpaste and told you you were gonna get half the toothpaste in the tube, you probably wouldn`t buy it.
  • It would be far easier to go, "Oh, I wish I loved women," but I don`t. I love the way a man thinks. I love the way a man smells. I love the way men look. And I`m hooked on the male physique - hooked on it.
  • I`m a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me.
  • You don`t have to be naked to be sexy.
  • Having gone through all of this, I feel in some ways calmer now. It`s strange, but sad. I think I`ll always be sad.
  • Even from a very early age, I knew I didn`t want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.
  • I believe that as much as you take, you have to give back. It`s important not to focus on yourself too much
  • I love acting but I don`t like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are perceiving you.
  • I never knew I`d be in a musical, let alone win an award for one.
  • It`s a very brave thing to fall in love. You have to be willing to trust somebody else with your whole being, and that`s very difficult, really difficult and very brave.
  • I`d like to be wise. You have to go through a lot to get there, but I`m willing to go through a lot.
  • Since I have fair skin, I have to stay out of the sun. I can`t stand the sun. I dyed my hair red for a while during the 1990s but I`m actually a natural blonde.
  • What`s the point of doing something good if nobody`s watching?
  • When I was a child, I was a natural towhead. Now my hair is naturally a darker shade of blonde.
  • By the time I was a teenager, I had developed skills as a writer, and my father encouraged me to think about a career in journalism. I began keeping a diary, which I maintain to this day. I used to fill whole notebooks with my writings.
  • Do you know I`m always scared that one day I`ll look back and say "God they were the best years of my life and now what?" There are moments when you feel as if you have been blessed for a while, moments when you think this is perfect, moments when you start to believe that even for an hour, even for a year, it might all happen. So I`m determined to keep making it get better and better.
  • I think actors are getting so much more power these days, but I`m not. I stay very much away from the decisions, the way in which things are orchestrated, what`s been changed. I just try to stay completely in the role as the actor and as the character.
  • I think someone said my career defies all logic [laughs]. Because I choose the sort of strange little films, and somehow they`re the things that make my career.
  • It was very natural for me to want to disappear into dark theater, I am really very shy. That is something that people never seem to fully grasp because, when you are an actor, you are meant to be an exhibitionist.
  • I`m at a time of my life now where, for me to want to go back and work, it`d have to be something that I really feel passionately about.
  • My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination, but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn`t be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men, so I thought I would be a writer instead.
  • Regrets are ridiculous, so I don`t regret, no.
  • So if you talk about a box-office career, then I`m a disaster. But somehow, you know, I still manage to find my way to work.
  • To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That`s why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised--they don`t see you behind closed doors.
  • Cinema is a director`s medium, so you`re saying, "What do you want?" Being an actor is about adapting - physically and emotionally. If that means you have to look great for it and they can make you look great, then thank you. And if you have to have everything washed away, then I`m willing to do that too.
  • Even from a very early age I knew I didn`t want to miss out on anything life had to offer just because it might be considered dangerous.
  • I have a boy`s body. I would prefer to have more curves because I think that`s more beautiful. I would much rather have J. Lo`s [Jennifer Lopez] body than mine.
  • I have moments where I`ve said, "Don`t tread on that crack in the pavement, don`t have a black cat walk in front of you." Deep down am I superstitious? No. Do I believe in trying to be as kind as possible and as compassionate as possible because ultimately you`re alone with yourself and your own conscience, and you want that to be as clear as possible? That`s not superstition. You have to just try and stay pure and know what you value.
  • I think it`s important that we don`t all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything`s fine.
  • I would love to have boobs and a butt like Jennifer Lopez but I`m not having surgery so there it is.
  • It`s so bizarre, I`m not scared of snakes or spiders. But I`m scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird!
  • Stanley Kubrick taught me to believe in myself artistically. I spent my 20s raising my children, and wanting to, and being married. That was my driving force. And then he said to me, "No, you have to respect your talent, and give it some space, and give it some time." Which was a lovely thing to be given. And my children were a little older then.
  • These different people that I play become the loves of my life.
  • You look at somebody`s work as an actor and you can see their emotional life being fed into it and you can kind of feel them through it. That`s far more interesting than anything I could say about where I`m at or who I`m with. It`s good to have a little distance. If you discuss your love too much, it just damages it.
