I'll start out by saying my name Nicole Mary Kidman. My nick name is Nic so you can call me that. I'm about 5' 10 in. tall. I was born in Honolulu. Then me and my family moved to Washington D.C almost as fast as a snap of finger. At first I loved ballet, then I took up mime and drama. In my adolescent years, acting edged out the other arts and became a kind of refuge--as my classmates sought out fun in the sun, the I retreated to dark rehearsal halls to practice my craft. I worked regularly at the Philip Street Theater, where I once received a personal letter of praise and encouragement from audience member Jane Campion. I eventually dropped out of high school to pursue acting full-time. I broke into movies at age 16, landing a role in the Australian holiday favorite Bush Christmas. That appearance touched off a flurry of film and TV offers, including a lead in BMX Bandits and a turn as a schoolgirl-turned- protester in the miniseries institute. Then after all my childhood years past I became a hollywood actress.
