Nicole Kidman Biography
A statuesque Australian redhead with creamy alabaster skin and blue eyes that cast a slightly mischievous air, Nicole Kidman had become established in her native land as a rising talent before she ventured to the USA where she met her future husband Tom Cruise during the filming of 1990’s “Days of Thunder”. Born in Hawaii to a biochemist and psychologist father and an activist nursing instructor mother, Kidman spent her first years living in the Washington, DC, area. By the time she was three, she and her parents had returned to Australia and settled in conservative, upper-middle-class suburb of Sydney. As a toddler, she was enrolled in ballet classes and at age four got a taste of theatrical life by stealing her school’s Christmas pageant, garnering laughs as a sheep who upstaged the Nativity scene.
