Is Nicole Kidman the hardest working person in Hollywood? It’s more than four decades since the Australian-American started acting, aged 16, yet she shows no sign of slowing down. As well as developing and producing projects through her own company, Blossom Films, Kidman has barely been off TV screens in recent months, starring in dramas such as Expats, The Perfect Couple, Lioness and A Family Affair. Next she takes the lead role in Halina Reijn’s much-anticipated erotic thriller Babygirl. Kidman picked up the best actress prize at the Venice Film Festival for her portrayal of a high-powered executive who has an affair with a much younger intern – and she is also attracting significant Oscar buzz.
Kidman always wanted to act. Born in Hawaii, she moved to Sydney aged four with her father, an author and clinical psychologist, and mother, a nursing instructor. The 1989 thriller Dead Calm was her breakthrough film. Over the years since then she has appeared in countless diverse roles, from Virginia Woolf in The Hours to Lucille Ball in Being The Ricardos.
Next month the Observer New Review will run a You Ask The Questions interview with Kidman before the release of Babygirl. Here’s your chance to quiz her on anything from her love of gardening to what drives her on when she already has an Academy Award, two Emmys, six Golden Globes, one Screen Actors Guild award and a Bafta. Does she find fame oppressive? How important is it to her to create opportunities for women in film? And does she ever get sick of people asking her about Tom Cruise?
