August 29, 2006 (Press Release) --
Nicole Kidman won 2003 Academy Awards for Best Actress for her role as Virginia Woolf in THE HOURS. Kidman's riveting performance also earned her the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama, the BAFTA Award for Best Actress and the Berlin Film Festival Silver Bear Award for Best Actress.
Born in Hawaii and raised in Australia, Kidman studied ballet as a young child and enrolled in drama school at the age of 10. She made her professional debut in the Australian film BUSH CHRISTMAS at the age of 14, but it was her role three years later in the mini-series Vietnam that made her a virtual overnight star in Australia. Her subsequent portrayal of a terrorized wife in the 1989 psychological thriller, DEAD CALM, directed by Phil Noyce, brought her international critical acclaim.
Kidman's range and versatility have won her a reputation for daring performances including, in one year, her role in MOULIN ROUGE for director Baz Luhrman and in THE OTHERS for Alejandro Amenabar. Among other honors, these earned her dual 2002 Golden Globe Nominations as Best Actress in a Musical and Best Actress in a Drama. She won the Golden Globe for her performance in MOULIN ROUGE.
Kidman's true breakout role was 'Suzanne Stone,' a woman obsessed with becoming a TV personality, in Gus Van Sant's widely acclaimed black comedy TO DIE FOR, for which she won her first Golden Globe as Best Actress in 1995. In 1996, Kidman starred in Jane Campion's adaptation of Henry James' PORTRAIT OF A LADY, and in 2003 she teamed creatively with Campion, this time as a producer on IN THE CUT, which starred Meg Ryan.
