Nicole Kidman was born on 20 June, 1967 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, but moved shortly afterwards to Australia. Her father, Antony, is an author who lectures over psychology and biochemistry and her mother, Janelle is a nurse and educator who edits her husband's books. Nicole stared out her performing arts career as a ballet dancer and shortly afterwards at the age of 10 she convinced her parents to enroll her in a drama school. Nicole has always had an amazing physique and was 5'9'' at the age of 13!

It is said that she is a descendant one of Australia's most famous families, Sir Sydney Kidman, who is a cattle baron who had a vast holdings of land and livestock in Australia. How ever her fame has developed on her merits, starting with a performance at the age of 14 in Bush Christmas. She continued on in BMX Bandits and as a rock singer in Windrider.

She also appeared as "a little roughie who herded sheep" in a Disney Channel mini-series, Five Mile Creek. Nicoles big break came when she became an overnight sensation for her work in Kennedy Miller's mini-series Vietnam. At the young age of seventeen, the Australian public voted her the Best Actress of the year, and she received several other awards for her critically acclaimed performance, which brought her into the international stage, captivating film-makers from around the world. Batman Forever, though not her best performance, still probably stands out as her first 'mega-movie' and was only a stepping stone for the many more movies that followed.

Nicole has two children, Conor and Isabella whose father is Tom Cruise who she is still happily married to. Even now after her countless movies and continuous spot light with the media her lively attitude towards life is still forever present. The best example of this was when in 1995 in the Entertainment Weekly she stated "We don't feel comfortable discussing what we do in bed at midnight--even though it is pretty damn good." when she was confronted about Tom and her self's love life.
