The rise to superstardom of one of the movie world’s most dazzling screen idols
On both personal and professional levels, Nicole Kidman’s story is a fascinating one. Now thirty-five and arguably the most famous actress in the world. she has a string of successful films behind her. an Oscar nomination for Moulin Rouge and a clutch of movies in 2002 – her career could not be starrier. But. bruised from her divorce from Tom Cruise. she finds herself suddenly single with two adopted children to care for. And yet she has blossomed as she has emerged from being Mrs Tom Cruise.
From her comfortable Australian background in a highly political family. through a youthful obsession with ballet to personal encouragement from award-winning film director Jane Campion and an early career in television Kidman was bent on an acting career. And. when she met Cruise on Days of Thunder. a new Hollywood romance was born.
Tim Ewbank and Stafford Hildred reveal how Kidmans initial shyness caused by her leggy height and unruly red curls led her to acting. where she could lose herself as someone else. They travelled to Australia to draw on her early years in television and film there. talked to friends and colleagues and. of course. looked behind the headlines at her opulent life with Cruise as the taller half of America’s glitziest couple. The riveting result is the first full biography of the most talked-about woman in Hollywood.
