About Me

**HI, I'M NOT NICOLE, JUST A HUGE FAN OF HERS!!**It's a mark of Australia's cultural strength that they've provided so many of today's top-line cinematic greats. Aside from the obvious Mel Gibson and Cate Blanchett, there's also the less well-known yet hugely talented likes of Judy Davis and Naomi Watts as well as a couple of New Zealanders who made it in Aussie productions. Step forward, Sam Neill and Russell Crowe. And, of course, there's the woman who, Gibson aside, is the hottest of the lot, the ex-Mrs Cruise but a fine actress and Oscar-winner in her own right - Nicole Kidman.Strangely, given what most people know of her, Nicole is not a fair dinkum Aussie at all, actually being born on Honolulu, Hawaii (on the 20th of June, 1967), and holding dual US and Australian citizenship. Her father, Anthony, a biochemist and clinical psychologist, had moved to the island with his wife Janelle to work on a research project. Almost as soon as Nicole appeared (she'd be closely followed by sister, Antonia), Anthony's work with breast cancer took the family to Washington DC for three years. It was only then that the girl who would be known as one of Australia's prime exports began life on Antipodean soil, when the Kidmans moved back to the posh Longueville district of Sydney (coincidentally, one of Nicole's most renowned relatives was also named Sydney - he was a cattle baron).Nicole was an active, artistic child, and focused from an absurdly young age. She began taking ballet lessons at 3, moving onto mime at 8 and drama at 10. Her first public role was at 6, as a loud sheep in her elementary school's Christmas pageant. She grew up fast. Janelle was an active feminist and Anthony a labour advocate, both of them discussing the issues of the day with their kids over dinner and having them hand out pamphlets on the street.

Heroes:

Mom UNIFEM In January 2006 Nicole was announced as the new goodwill ambassador for UNIFEM, a branch of the UN specialising in the welfare and rights of women and children. Nicole's mother introduced her to the work of UNIFEM, with Nicole saying her mother was listening to a BBC radio report in 2005 about UNIFEM's work in Cambodia to help rural women create economic alternatives and "she calls me up and says, 'You've got to hear this'". Nicole then called UNIFEM executive director Noeleen Heyzer. She says that the research she did to play abused Faunia in The Human Stain opened her eyes to finding ways to help women. Nicole says she hopes that she "can act as a conduit, that I can be the person who tells some of these stories." Some of the places she may visit as a goodwill ambassador are Sudan, Congo, Liberia, Afghanistan and Cambodia. Nicole hopes this will be a "lifelong commitment". www.unifem.org/
