A look back at Nicole Kidman’s career: From low-budget Australian movies to Hollywood fame

The actress’s latest movie, ‘Babygirl,’ is making waves as she celebrates one of the most successful, prolific, and highest-paid careers in the industry. Here’s how she broke free from Tom Cruise’s shadow to become one of the most esteemed figures in cinema

Nicole Kidman marks 35 years as a major international star with the erotic thriller 'Babygirl,' in which she portrays a successful CEO who embarks on a passionate affair with her young intern (Harris Dickinson) behind the back of her husband, played by Antonio Banderas. In addition to becoming a silent hit at the U.S. box office, the role, which left Kidman feeling "exposed and vulnerable," earned her the prestigious Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival and a Golden Globe nomination, among other accolades. This role adds to an already impressive career, one of the most prolific and remarkable in recent Hollywood history. As a style icon and a role model for women in the industry, Kidman has accumulated more than 120 awards and boasts an estimated fortune of $250 million.
