Nicole ‘95

In which we remember Nicole Kidman’s white hot ascension in 1995. Nicole Kidman has been “Nicole Kidman” for so long now in the public consciousness that we’ve come to take her extraordinary commitment to screen acting for granted.

The 5’10” American actress has legs from here to eternity and an absolutely gorgeous face that makes us think she truly was one of the most beautiful people in the world during her prime. A little birdie just told … Continue reading There’s Something About a Girl in Glasses… →
