A fascinating biography of the enigmatic actress by one of our very best film writers and author of the acclaimed book The Last Equation, David Thomson

Nicole Kidman, Oscar winner, is more than a movie star. She is the leading female celebrity icon of our age, her face and body appear in the media the world over, and she often commands a salary of over 10 million dollars a picture. However there is something mysterious and not quite settled about her, which is why David Thomson, one of the world’s greatest film critics, knew he had to write about her. Whilst there may (just) be more attractive women on the screen, none has such a talent for transforming herself. This is a biography of a curly-red-haired girl from Australia who has become a world-famous actress. It is a searching treatment of her acting and business career, and a tribute by an admirer to a woman who has it in her to move millions of strangers.
