NICOLE   KIDMAN

 

Nicole Mary Kidman (born June 20, 1967) is an Academy Award winning Australian actress, producer, and singer. She was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Dr Antony David Kidman and Janelle Ann (nee MacNeille). At the time, her father was a cancer research specialist in Washington, D.C. The family returned to Australia when Nicole was four years old, when Tony Kidman took on a lectureship at the University of Technology, Sydney

For the longest time, Nicole Kidman was pretty much famous for being "that actress married to Tom Cruise." Sure she had a few decent hit movies like "Days of Thunder," "Far and Away" and "To Die For." But it wasn't until Hollywood's hottest couple started calling it quits that her career really took off. That's when she stepped up her career a few notches with "Moulin Rouge," "The Others," "The Hours" and "Cold Mountain." Heck, she even won her first Oscar just two years after dumping the Cruisester.
