nicole kidman

Nicole Kidman was born in Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, in Hawaii on June 20, 1967.

After appearances in several productions and winning an Australian Film Institute award, Nicole was given a role in a movie with Tom Cruise and was observed with him at the 1990 Academy Awards.  The couple married in 1990.  They separated more than a decade later.

In June 2006, Nicole married country singer Karl Urban.

On April 13, 2007, the Governor General of the Commonwealth of Australia appointed Nicole as a Companion in the General Division of the Order of Australia; "for service to the performing arts as an acclaimed motion picture performer, to health care through contributions to improve medical treatment for women and children and advocacy for cancer research, to youth as a principal supporter of young performing artists, and to humanitarian causes in Australia and internationally."

Nicole has won numerous awards for her professional acting work, including an Academy Award in 2003 for Best Actress in a Leading Role (The Hours).

The Internet Movie Database lists many of Nicole's movies, awards and biographical details.

Nicole has spoken positively about LASIK eye surgery treatment. “I was walking around legally blind. Now I have 20-20 vision,” she told Marie Claire magazine.
