Born in Hawaii and raised in Australia, she studied dance and drama from childhood and made her film debut in Bush Christmas (1983) at the age of 14. Her performance in the 1985 Australian miniseries "Vietnam" made her a star in that country and won her several awards. Other credits include BMX Bandits (1983), Wills and Burke: The Untold Story (1985), Windrider (1986, as a rock star), Emerald City (1989), and the miniseries "Five Mile Creek" (1985) and "Bangkok Hilton" (1990). Her performance as a snooty upperclasswoman in Flirting (1990) was duly noted when American moviegoers got to see the film in 1992. This tall, redheaded actress garnered excellent notices for her first major film role, as the terrorized but resourceful wife adrift with a homicidal maniac in the Australian sailing thriller Dead Calm (1989). She came to America for Days of Thunder (1990), in which she was conveniently cast as a doctor for leading man Tom Cruise. The highly touted racing saga failed to live up to expectations, but offscreen Kidman won the heart of costar Cruise, whom she subsequently married. Since then, she has played Dutch Schultz's moll in Billy Bathgate (1991), an Irish immigrant in Far and Away (1992, reteamed with Cruise), an American spouse (who's a psychopath in reality), in the overheated Malice and an expectant mother in the tearjerker My Life (both 1993). In 1995, Kidman starred in Batman Forever and To Die For. She then starred in Jane Campion's Drana A Portrait of A Lady (1996) and in the Peacemaker (1997). The next year she starred in the comedy Practical Magic. And then Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (1999) which was filmed for four years. Then Tom Cruise left her and she appeared in Moulin Rouge and The Other's (both 2001) and then in Birthday girl (2002) and The Hours (2002) which she won an Oscar for. She then appeared in other films such as Dogville, Birth & The Interpreter.
