They Had the Looks, They Had the Fame – But What Happened Next?

Nicole Kidman – Born in 1967

Few actors can shape-shift like Nicole Kidman. From a fearless cabaret singer in ”Moulin Rouge!” to the steely Virginia Woolf in ”The Hours” (which won her an Oscar), she has spent decades proving there’s no role she can’t dominate. While some stars settle into a type, she thrives on unpredictability—playing chilling villains, tragic heroines, and even a hilariously unhinged Lucille Ball in ”Being the Ricardos.”

Nicole delivered another knockout in 2024’s ”Babygirl,” a psychological drama that’s already sparked Oscar buzz. Then, in a move as dramatic as any of her roles, she announced she’s pressing pause on acting in 2025—because even Hollywood royalty deserves a break.
