From Bush Christmas to Hollywood A-List: A Throwback Look at Nicole Kidmans Early Career
As we celebrate Nicole Kidman's birthday today, we take a trip down memory lane to look at some of her most iconic moments from her early days in Hollywood. From her debut in the small-town drama Bush Christmas to her breakout role in Dead Calm, Kidman has been a fixture in the industry for over four decades.
In the early 1980s, the then-unknown Australian teenager made her screen debut with a fresh face and bouncy curls in Bush Christmas. Over the next six years, she landed a flurry of minor roles, but it wasn't until Dead Calm that she truly broke through into the stratosphere. From there, she raced into Days of Thunder, the NASCAR movie that introduced her to future husband Tom Cruise. They married soon after, and Kidman entered the A-list, going on to conquer the industry with performances in films like To Die For, The Portrait of a Lady, Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge!, The Others, and The Hours.
