Nicole Kidman was born in Honolulu on June 20, 1967 to a father who was a biochemist and psychologist and a mother who taught in a nursing school. She was four years old when her whole family returned to live in Sydney, Australia, where her Irish ancestors settled in the mid-19th century. At a very young age, Nicole Kidman developed a passion for the arts: classical dance, theater, literature, photography… A true pillar of the family, Janelle Kidman, a committed feminist, encouraged her daughters to follow in her footsteps and took them with her to the Women’s Electoral Lobby, an Australian feminist organization. At the age of 17, the teenager’s life is turned upside down when she learns that her beloved mother is suffering from breast cancer. With her sister, Antonia, she takes turns looking after her. The same year she dropped out of school, chose to pursue one of her passions, drama, and enrolled at the Phillip Street Theatre in Sydney.
In 1983, she made her debut in front of the camera in Bush Christmas. She landed her first role in 1989 in Calm White, but it was the following year with Thunder Day, alongside Tom Cruise, that she was first noticed. In 1995, she distinguished herself in Batman Forever and Prête à tout. She has twice toured with Tom Cruise, her partner on screen and in the city; Distant Horizons and Eyes Wide Shut. In the early 2000s, while the actress was going through a painful period in her personal life, her career reached new heights. The actress confirmed her status as an international star and went on to achieve a string of successes: Moulin Rouge, Les Autres and The Hours. The role of the writer Virginia Woolf, for which she became famous, allowed her to accumulate trophies, Oscar, Golden Globe and Bafta for best actress in 2003.
Very eclectic, the actress embarks on different adventures, makes bold choices (Dogville, Birth) and alternates with more commercial films (My Beloved Witch, Australia, Nine). She does not hesitate to break her image in Paperboy in 2012 and appears on the screen as a nymphomaniac Barbie doll. Nicole Kidman multiplies the projects and leads in parallel a career as a producer (In the Cut, Rabbit Hole, Monte-Carlo). In 2014, she plays Grace Kelly in Olivier Dahan’s biopic, Grace de Monaco, presented at the opening of the Cannes Film Festival. On May 28, 2017, she receives the 70th Anniversary Award of the Cannes Film Festival.
