Nicole Kidman Biography
Nicole Mary Kidman was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to father Anthony, a clinical psychologist and biochemist, of Scottish descent, and mother Janelle, a nursing instructor, of Irish descent. Shortly after Kidman’s birth, the family moved to Washington D.C. in order for her father to pursue his research on breast cancer. When Kidman was only three-years-old, the family moved again, this time to her parents’ native Sydney, Australia.
Beginning with ballet lesions at age four, Kidman went on to study at the Australian Theatre for Young People in Sydney (of which she is now a patron). Here she took up drama and mime and in her teens, found acting to be a refuge. With her fair skin and naturally red hair, the Australian sunshine proved too much for the young Kidman and she sought solace in the cool, dark rehearsal halls of her beloved theatre. Working regularly at the Philip Street Theatre, she received both encouragement and praise, giving her the drive to pursue acting full-time.
In 1983, aged 16, Kidman dropped out of high school and made her film debut in the Australian holiday season favourite, “Bush Christmas” (1983). This lead to a number of both television and film offers in Australia, throughout the rest of the 1980s. Her film roles include the lead in “BMX Bandits” (1983), “Windrider” (1986), “Watch the Shadows Dance” (1987), and “Emerald City” (1988), a drama with fellow Australian actor, John Hargreaves. Her stints in television series include “Five Mile Creek” (1983-1985), “Winners” (1985), “Vietnam” (1987) in which she played a schoolgirl-turned-protester and for which she won her first Australian Film Institute Award, and “Bangkok Hilton” (1989). She was also in made-for-television movies such as “Skin Deep” (1983), “Chase Through the Night” (1983), “Matthew and Son” (1984), “Room to Move” (1987) and “An Australian in Rome” (1987).
Determined to break into the US market, and with the help of an American agent, Kidman made her US debut, opposite Sam Neil and Billy Zane, in the at-sea thriller “Dead Calm” (1989). It certainly was a turning point in her life, both professionally and personally, as the following year, she starred in the racetrack romance “Days of Thunder” (1990), opposite Tom Cruise, the man who would become her husband.
After a whirlwind courtship, they enjoyed a romantic marriage on Christmas Eve in 1990. Next up for Kidman was another Australian film “Flirting” (1991) in which she played a bitchy high school senior, followed by starring opposite Dustin Hoffman in the gangster movie “Billy Bathgate” (1991). She starred with Cruise in Ron Howard’s “Far and Away” (1992), a story of young Irish lovers who flee to America in the late 1880s, and with Michael Keaton in “My Life” (1993). Cruise and Kidman adopted two children, Isabella Jane (born 22nd December 1993) and Connor Anthony (born 17th January 1995).
