NICOLE KIDMAN MIGHT HAVE HAD HER EYES WIDE SHUT BUT HER LEGS WERE WIDE OPEN Natural redhead Nicole Kidman, known as one of Hollywood's top Australian imports, was actually born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Australian parents Anthony (a biochemist and clinical psychologist) and Janelle (a nursing instructor) Kidman. Kidman broke into movies at age 16, landing a role in the Australian holiday favorite Bush Christmas (1983). That appearance touched off a flurry of film and TV offers, including a lead in BMX Bandits (1983) and a turn as a schoolgirl-turned-protester in the miniseries "Vietnam" (1987) (for which she won her first Australian Film Institute Award). She eventually made her US debut opposite Sam Neill in the at-sea thriller Dead Calm (1989) and has gone from strength to strength since then. Kidman and her then husband Tom Cruise appear nude and sexually raunchy in the movie “Eyes Wide Shut”. The 1999 film was directed, produced and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, and was his last film. The story, set in and around New York City, follows the sexually charged adventures of Dr. Bill Harford, who is shocked when his wife, Alice, reveals that she had contemplated an affair a year earlier. He embarks on a night-long, eventful sexual adventure, during which he infiltrates a massive masked orgy of an underground cult. Nicole, as Alice, is smoking hot. In later times, the birth of a baby is meant to be a time of joy and celebration.but the arrival of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's second child in early 2011 has been greeted with a bundle of nastiness - the couple's second daughter was born through a "gestational carrier" (a surrogate mother to those not scientifically minded). So Keith’s sperm, Nicole’s egg and some other woman’s womb. Add that to her recent years transition from cute Aussie redhead into a peroxide porcelain princess who never seems to age, and some may see why Kidman can be considered irritating.
