Who's Afraid Of Nicole Kidman
By:Deborah Weingrod
A tall elegant redhead, Nicole Kidman, who has appeared often as a blonde or a brunette is the films she has graced with her incredibly subtle performances. While she tries to choose good scripts, her fans nevertheless will watch anything she's in and walk away satisfied with much disregard to story or other performances.
It did not come as a surprise when she was finally nominated for her work in Moulin Rouge. She was working on Dogville when she received word of the nomination. How this woman can juggle her success with raising two children is beyond belief for some, but Kidman is known for her firm discipline in work as well as in life.
While her last films did not complement her talent, they did enjoy a decent amount of box office success. Interestingly it seems that she chooses what films to do based on the same genres. Recently, she has played mostly quirky characters in a group of comedies (Stepford Wives, Bewitched) while many have confused her more dramatic roles in tragedo-dramas (Birth, Dogville, The Human Stain).
Kidman has worked with the most prolific actors ranging from Stanley Kubrick to Sidney Pollack to Gus Van Sant and Lans Van Trier and she has a lot of more work coming up soon.
These days, whatever project enters the casting process, Kidman's name always seems to be the first to come up. For a while she was rumored to have been involved with the highly secretive JFK script Machiavelli Hangman - http://www.hangmanmovie.com (directed by Shervin Youssefian - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1352346/), to be produced by then hubby Tom Cruise. Her involvement with the hangman is still not completely certain but a possible cameo may surprise audiences at the film's release, in late December.
Kidman is also involved with seven other projects that will be soon in theatres everywhere. These include Wedding Season, American Darlings, Emma's War, The Lady From Shanghai, Invasion, Happy Feet and Fur.
In the Tony Scott directed Emma's War, Kidman plays with co-star Taylor Handley. This movie is said to bring her a second Oscar win for her role as an aid worker in the Sudan who marries a warlord who wants to take over the country.
Kidman's range as an actress has attracted many filmmakers but interestingly enough, she has never worked with either Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese who are two of the most important American directors of the time.
With so much work on her plate, one would wonder how she makes the time to devote 100% to each project and always come out brilliant. Not a lot of people could deal with so much pressure and that is the precise reason why there is only one Nicole Kidman on the charts.
