Early life
Kidman was born in
Honolulu, Hawaii. Since her parents were in the United States on educational
visas, Kidman could claim both U.S. and Australian citizenship.[7] Her father,
Dr. Antony David Kidman, is a biochemist, clinical psychologist, and author,
with an office in Lane Cove, Sydney, Australia.[8][9] Her mother, Janelle Ann
(née Glenny), is a nursing instructor who edits her husband's books and was a
member of the Women's Electoral Lobby. Kidman's ancestry includes Scottish and
Irish.[10] At the time of Kidman's birth in 1967, her father was a graduate
student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He soon after became a visiting
fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health of the United States. Opposed
to the War in Vietnam, which was causing social unrest in both Australia and the
United States, Kidman's parents participated in anti-war protests while they
were living in Washington, DC.[11] The family returned to Australia when Kidman
was four and her parents now live on Sydney's North Shore. Kidman has a younger
sister, Antonia Kidman, a journalist and TV presenter.
Kidman attended Lane
Cove Public School and North Sydney Girls' High School. She was enrolled in
ballet at three and showed her natural talent for acting in her primary and high
school years.[12] Kidman revealed she was timid as a child, saying, "I am very
shy – really shy – I even had a stutter as a kid, which I slowly got over, but I
still regress into that shyness. So I don’t like walking into a crowded
restaurant by myself; I don’t like going to a party by myself".[13] In 1984, her
mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, which caused Kidman to temporarily halt
her education and help provide for the family by working as a massage therapist
at age 17.[12] She studied at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne,
and at the Phillip Street Theatre in Sydney, with actress and friend Naomi Watts
who had attended the same high school as she did.[12][14] This was followed by
attending the Australian Theatre for Young People.[12] Here she took up drama,
mime and performing in her teens, finding acting to be a refuge. Due to her fair
skin and naturally red hair, the Australian sun forced the young Kidman to
rehearse in halls of the theatre. A regular at the Phillip Street Theatre, she
received both encouragement and praise to pursue acting full-time.[15]
Career
1983-1994
In 1983, aged 16,
Kidman made her film debut in the Australian holiday season favourite, Bush
Christmas.[15] By the end of 1983, she had a supporting role in the television
series Five Mile Creek and began gaining popularity in the mid-1980s after
appearing in several film roles, including BMX Bandits, Watch the Shadows Dance,
and the romantic comedy Windrider (1986), which earned Kidman attention due to
her racy scenes. Also during the decade, she appeared in several Australian
productions, including the soap opera A Country Practice and the miniseries
Vietnam (1986). She also made guest appearances on Australian television
programs and TV movies. She also appeared in Sesame Street.
In 1988, Kidman
appeared in Emerald City, based on the play of the same name. The Australian
film earned her an Australian Film Institute for Best Supporting Actress. After
appearing in the Australian miniseries Bangkok Hilton, Kidman starred in Dead
Calm (1989) as Rae Ingram, playing the wife of a naval officer. The thriller
garnered strong reviews and brought Kidman to international recognition; Variety
commented: "Throughout the film, Kidman is excellent. She gives the character of
Rae real tenacity and energy."[16] Meanwhile, critic Roger Ebert noted the
excellent chemistry between the leads, stating, "Kidman and Zane do generate
real, palpable hatred in their scenes together."[17] She moved on to star
alongside her then-boyfriend and future husband, Tom Cruise, in the 1990 auto
racing film Days of Thunder, playing a young doctor who falls in love with a
NASCAR driver. This was Kidman's American debut and was among the
highest-grossing films of the year.[18]
In 1991, she co-starred
with former classmate and friend Naomi Watts and Thandie Newton in the
independent film Flirting. Kidman and Watts portrayed two high school girls in
this coming of age story, which won the Australian Film Institute Award for Best
Film.[19] That same year, her work in the film Billy Bathgate earned Kidman her
first Golden Globe Award nomination, for Best Supporting Actress. The New York
Times, in its film review, called her "a beauty with, it seems, a sense of
humor".[20] The following year, she and Cruise re-teamed for Ron Howard's Irish
epic Far and Away (1992), which was a modest critical[21][22] and commercial[23]
success. In 1993, she starred in My Life opposite Michael Keaton and the
thriller, Malice opposite Alec Baldwin.
1995–2003
In 1995, Kidman
appeared in her highest-grossing live-action film as of 2011,[24] playing Dr.
Chase Meridian, the damsel in distress, in the superhero film Batman Forever,
opposite Val Kilmer as the film's title character. That same year Kidman
appeared in Gus Van Sant's critically acclaimed To Die For, earning praise for
her portrayal of murderous newscaster Suzanne Stone Maretto.[25][26]
Kidman next appeared in
The Portrait of a Lady (1996), based on the novel the same name, alongside,
Barbara Hershey, John Malkovich and Mary-Louise Parker. The following year she
appeared in the action-thriller The Peacemaker (1997) as White House nuclear
expert Dr. Julia Kelly, opposite George Clooney. The film received mixed reviews
but grossed some $110,000,000 worldwide.[27][28] That same year she appeared
opposite Sandra Bullock in the poorly received fantasy Practical Magic as a
modern-day witch.[29] Kidman returned to her work on stage the same year in the
David Hare play The Blue Room, which opened in London.
In 1999, Kidman
reunited with then husband, Tom Cruise, to portray a married couple in Eyes Wide
Shut, the final film of Stanley Kubrick. The film opened to generally positive
reviews but was subject to censorship controversies due to the explicit nature
of its sex scenes.[30] The film received further attention following Kubrick's
death shortly before its release. After brief hiatus and a highly publicized
divorce from Cruise,[31] Kidman returned to the screen to play a mail-order
bride in the British-American drama Birthday Girl.
In 2001, Kidman
appeared in two of her most critically and commercially successful films. In the
first she played the cabaret actress and courtesan Satine in Baz Luhrmann's
musical Moulin Rouge!, opposite Ewan McGregor. In her first singing role,
Kidman's musical numbers and performance earned her critical praise.[citation
needed] Subsequently, Kidman received her second Golden Globe Award, for Best
Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, as well as other acting awards.
She also received her first Academy Award nomination, for Best Actress. Also in
2001, she had a well-received starring role in Alejandro Amenábar's Spanish
horror film The Others as Grace Stewart. Grossing over $210,947,037 worldwide,
the film also earned several Goya Awards award nominations, including a Best
Actress nomination for Kidman. Additionally she received her second BAFTA and
fifth Golden Globe nominations.[citation needed]
In 2003, Kidman won
critical praise for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf in Stephen Daldry's The
Hours, which also featured Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore. Kidman wore
prosthetics that were applied to her nose making her almost unrecognisable
playing the author during her time in 1920s England, and her bouts with
depression and mental illness while trying to write her novel, Mrs. Dalloway.
The film earned positive notices and several nominations, including for an
Academy Award for Best Picture. The New York Times wrote that, "Kidman tunnels
like a ferret into the soul of a woman besieged by excruciating bouts of mental
illness. As you watch her wrestle with the demon of depression, it is as if its
torment has never been shown on the screen before. Directing her desperate,
furious stare into the void, her eyes not really focusing, Ms. Kidman, in a
performance of astounding bravery, evokes the savage inner war waged by a
brilliant mind against a system of faulty wiring that transmits a searing, crazy
static into her brain".[32] Kidman won numerous critics' awards, including her
first BAFTA, third Golden Globe, and the Academy Award for Best Actress. As the
first Australian actress to win an Academy Award, Kidman made a teary acceptance
speech about the importance of art, even during times of war, saying, "Why do
you come to the Academy Awards when the world is in such turmoil? Because art is
important. And because you believe in what you do and you want to honour that,
and it is a tradition that needs to be upheld."[33]
Following her Oscar
win, Kidman appeared in three very different films in 2003. The first, a leading
role in Dogville, by Danish director Lars von Trier, was an experimental film
set on a bare soundstage. The second was an adaptation of Philip Roth's novel
The Human Stain, opposite Anthony Hopkins. Her third film, Anthony Minghella's
war drama Cold Mountain, was a critical and commercial success. Kidman appeared
opposite Jude Law and Renée Zellweger, playing Southerner Ada Monroe, who is in
love with Law's character and separated by the Civil War. TIME magazine wrote,
"Kidman takes strength from Ada's plight and grows steadily, literally luminous.
Her sculptural pallor gives way to warm radiance in the firelight".[34] The film
garnered several award nominations and wins for its actors; Kidman received her
sixth Golden Globe nomination at the 61st Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress.
2004–2008
In 2004 she appeared in
the film, Birth, which received controversy over a scene in which Kidman shares
a bath with her co-star, 10-year old Cameron Bright. At a press conference at
the Venice Film Festival, Kidman addressed the controversy saying, "It wasn't
that I wanted to make a film where I kiss a 10-year-old boy. I wanted to make a
film where you understand love".[35] Though the film received negative to mixed
reviews, Kidman earned her seventh Golden Globe nomination, for Best Actress –
Motion Picture. That same year she appeared in the black comedy-science-fiction
film The Stepford Wives, a remake of the 1975 film of the same name. Kidman
appeared in the lead role as Joanna Eberhart, a successful producer. The film,
directed by Frank Oz, was critically panned and a commercial failure. The
following year, Kidman appeared opposite Sean Penn in the Sydney Pollack
thriller The Interpreter, playing UN translator Silvia Broome. Also that year
she starred in Bewitched, based on the 1960s TV sitcom of the same name,
opposite Will Ferrell. Both Kidman and Ferrell earned that year's Razzie Award
for "Worst Screen Couple". Neither film fared well in the United States, with
box office sales falling well short of the production costs, but both films
fared well internationally.[36][37]
In conjunction with her
success in the film industry, Kidman became the face of the Chanel No. 5 perfume
brand. She starred in a campaign of television and print ads with Rodrigo
Santoro, directed by Moulin Rouge! director Baz Luhrmann, to promote the
fragrance during the holiday seasons of 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008. The
three-minute commercial produced for Chanel No. 5 made Kidman the record holder
for the most money paid per minute to an actor after she reportedly earned
US$12million for the three-minute advert.[38] During this time, Kidman was also
listed as the 45th Most Powerful Celebrity on the 2005 Forbes Celebrity 100
List. She made a reported US$14.5 million in 2004–2005. On People magazine's
list of 2005's highest paid actresses, Kidman was second behind Julia Roberts,
with US$16–17 million per-film price tag.[39] Nintendo in 2007 announced that
Kidman would be the new face of Nintendo's advertising campaign for the Nintendo
DS game More Brain Training in its European market.[40]
Kidman portrayed
photographer Diane Arbus in the biography Fur (2006), opposite Robert Downey
Jr.. Though the film was released to mixed reviews, both Kidman and Downey Jr.
received praise for their performances. She also lent her voice to the animated
film Happy Feet (2006), which grossed over US$384 million worldwide. In 2007,
she starred in the science-fiction movie The Invasion directed by Oliver
Hirschbiegel, a remake of the 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers that proved a
critical and commercial failure. She also played opposite Jennifer Jason Leigh
and Jack Black in Noah Baumbach's comedy-drama Margot at the Wedding, released
to positive reviews and earning Kidman a Satellite Award nomination for Best
Actress – Musical or Comedy. She then starred in the commercially successful
fantasy-adventure, The Golden Compass (2007), playing the villainous Marisa
Coulter. In 2008, she reunited with Moulin Rouge! director Baz Luhrmann in the
Australian period film Australia, set in the remote Northern Territory during
the Japanese attack on Darwin during World War II. Kidman played opposite Hugh
Jackman as an Englishwoman feeling overwhelmed by the continent. Despite the
film's mixed reviews, the acting was praised and the movie was a box office
success worldwide.[41] Kidman was originally set to star in the post-World War
II German drama, The Reader, working with previous collaborators Sydney Pollack
and Anthony Minghella, but due to her pregnancy prior to filming she had to back
out.[42] The role went to Kate Winslet, who ultimately won the Oscar for Best
Actress, which Kidman presented to her during the 81st Academy Awards.

nominations, and earned Kidman a third Screen Actors Guild Award nomination, as
part of the Outstanding Cast. Also in 2009, Kidman was the face of an
international Schweppes advertisement.[43] In 2010, she starred with Aaron

Kidman has been married
twice, first to actor Tom Cruise, and then to singer Keith Urban. She has an

Urban.
She met Cruise in
December 1989 on the set of their 1990 movie Days of Thunder. Kidman and Cruise
were married on Christmas Eve 1990 in Telluride, Colorado. The couple adopted a

said she had an ectopic pregnancy early in their marriage.[67] In the June 2006
Ladies' Home Journal, she said she still loved Cruise: "He was huge; still is.
To me, he was just Tom, but to everybody else, he is huge. But he was lovely to
me and I loved him. I still love him." In addition, she has expressed shock
about their divorce.[68]
Prior to marrying
Cruise, Kidman had a relationship with fellow Australian Marcus Graham in the
1980s.[69] The 2003 film Cold Mountain brought rumours that an affair between
Kidman and co-star Jude Law was responsible for the break-up of his marriage.

orphanage in the town where the movie was filmed.[71] Robbie Williams confirmed
they had a short romance on her yacht in summer 2004. She met musician Lenny

daughter and her third daughter, Faith Margaret Kidman Urban, via gestational
carrier[80] at Nashville's Centennial Women's Hospital. The child is
biologically Kidman and Urban's. Faith's middle name is after Kidman's late
grandmother.[81][82]

views

Roman Catholic.[83] She attended Mary Mackillop Chapel in North Sydney.
Following criticism of The Golden Compass by Catholic leaders[84] as
anti-Catholic,[85] Kidman told Entertainment Weekly that "the Catholic Church is
part of her 'essence'", and that her religious beliefs would prevent her from
taking a role in a film she perceives at anti-Catholic.[86]

divorce.[88]

battle with breast cancer in 1984.[93]
On Australia Day 2006,
Kidman received Australia's highest civilian honor when she was made a Companion
of the Order of Australia. The citation acknowledged Kidman's service to the
performing arts as an acclaimed motion picture performer, to health care through
contributions to improve medical treatment for women and children and advocacy
for cancer research, to youth as a principal supporter of young performing
artists, and to humanitarian causes in Australia and internationally.[94]
Kidman was appointed
goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) in
2006.[2] In this capacity, Kidman has addressed international audiences at UN
events, raised awareness through the media and testified before the United
States House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs to support the
International Violence against Women Act. Kidman visited Kosovo in 2006 to learn

character.[97] On 8 January 2010, Kidman, alongside Nancy Pelosi, Joan Chen and

Awards
In 2003, Kidman
received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition to her 2003 Academy
Award for Best Actress, Kidman has received Best Actress awards from the
following critics' groups or award-granting organisations: the Hollywood Foreign
Press (Golden Globes), the Australian Film Institute, Blockbuster Entertainment
Awards, Empire Awards, Golden Satellite Awards, Hollywood Film Festival, London
Critics Circle, Russian Guild of Film Critics, and the Southeastern Film Critics
Association. In 2003, Kidman was given the American Cinematheque Award. She also
received recognition from the National Association of Theatre Owners at the
ShoWest Convention in 1992 as the Female Star of Tomorrow and in 2002 for a
Distinguished Decade of Achievement in Film.
Government honours
In 2006, Kidman was
made a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC), Australia's highest civilian
honour, for "service to the performing arts as an acclaimed motion picture
performer, to health care through contributions to improve medical treatment for
women and children and advocacy for cancer research, to youth as a principal
supporter of young performing artists, and to humanitarian causes in Australia
and internationally."[106] However, due to film commitments and her wedding to
Urban, it was 13 April 2007 that she was presented with the honour.[107] It was
presented by Governor-General of Australia, Major General Michael Jeffery in a
ceremony at Government House, Canberra.[108]
