Video Entry - Nicole Kidman

To celebrate Nicole Kidman's birthday this June, I highlight three of my favorite Kidman movies which display her range as an actress. First, To Die For (1995), a thriller directed by Gus Van Sant starring Kidman and Matt Dillon, where Nicole portrays an ambitious-and deadly- news reporter. Second, The Others (2001), a gothic horror film that stars Kidman as a mother with two photo-sensitive children trapped in a house she believes is haunted. And third, The Hours, a story of how Virginia Woolf's novel "Mrs. Dalloway" affects the lives of three women, each living in different time periods. Kidman, playing Woolf herself, is outstanding, and won an Oscar.
