Nicole Kidman is a popular American and Australian actress who has built a brilliant career and continues to confidently expand her filmography.

Today, she is one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood, as she has six Golden Globe Awards, two Emmy Awards, an Oscar, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Most viewers are familiar with the artist for her roles in such well-known films as «The Hours,» «The Others,» «Cold Mountain,» «The Interpreter,» «Grace of Monaco,» «The Peacemaker,» where she starred alongside George Clooney and popular Russian actor Alexander Baluyev, and many others.

The future actress was born in Australia, into the family of a well-known scholar — a specialist in clinical psychology, Antony David Kidman, and his wife Janelle, who worked as a medical nurse.

Nicole didn’t intend to follow in her parents’ footsteps.

From the age of four, the girl studied ballet, then entered an art college, and made her film debut at the age of fourteen.

It was a small role in the film «Christmas in the Woods.» Kidman’s first fame came after starring in the crime drama «Bicycling Bandits,» but the pivotal year for the actress was 1990.

At that time, Nicole had already moved to America with the sole dream of conquering Hollywood.

And she didn’t miss her chance. Starring alongside Tom Cruise in the action film «Days of Thunder,» Nicole gained fame. By the way, she got the role of a young doctor, Claire, who falls in love with a race car driver.

The film became one of the highest-grossing movies of 1990, grossing $157 million at the box office.

The accomplished actress Nicole Kidman didn’t intend to stop. Successive films like «Flirting,» «My Life,» «Ready to Wear,» blockbuster «Batman Forever,» drama «To Die For,» for which Nicole received a Golden Globe, followed one after another. One cannot overlook her role as the English writer Virginia Woolf in the film «The Hours» directed by Stephen Daldry, where Nicole starred alongside Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep, and Toni Collette. Also noteworthy is her portrayal of a life-battered alcoholic in the film «Dead Calm.»

It’s quite intriguing how Nicole works on set:

«I never ask the director to show me what we’ve shot; I never look at the monitor, I don’t watch the footage at the end of the working day. I feel I can’t truly do my job as an actress if I’m controlling how I look, how I walk… It is what it is!»

Alongside her film successes, Nicole also found success in advertising. It’s no secret that she became the face of the perfume brand Chanel № 5.

Currently, the actress is involved in two comedies: «Come to Me, Baby» and «Family Matters.»

As for Kidman’s personal life, she had two loves. Her first husband needs no introduction — the popular actor and film director, Tom Cruise.

The couple lived under one roof for just over ten years and adopted two children, Connor and Isabella.

After divorcing Tom, the actress sparked a romance with an Australian singer named Keith Urban, and in 2006, the couple tied the knot.

In their happy marriage, they welcomed daughters: Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret. Today, Nicole is 55. She looks stunning, works a lot, and spends a huge portion of her earnings on charity.
