Nicole Kidman was first encouraged to hone her craft by New Zealand director Jane Campion, back when she was just a teen. ‘[She] was the first great mind to take an interest in me,’ says Nicole. ‘She pulled me off a stage in a local theatre where I was doing Sweet Bird of Youth, playing the princess at 14 – ridiculous!’ It was this formative experience of women supporting women that she now reflects on, at a time when women in the film industry are rising up and speaking out against the once covered-up scourge of sexual harassment and abuse.
Nicole has since become one of the most highly sought-after actors (1999) the courtesan Satine in 2001’s and her Academy Award-winning performance as Virginia Woolf in (2002).
