On this day in 1967, Nicole Kidman was born to Australian parents in Honolulu, Hawaii. After making her acting debut as a sheep in her school's nativity play, and her film debut as a frizzy-haired teenager in BMX Bandits, the actress went on to become one of Hollywood's most talented Aussie imports. Ahead, let's look back on the Birthday Girl's (ding!) career and decide once and for all -- or at last until her next Oscar-winning role -- what's Nicole Kidman's finest onscreen moment?
There are so many great films to choose from -- like Cold Mountain, Birth, The Others, Eyes Wide Shut, Rabbit Hole, and The Hours, for which she won her Academy Award.
Since it doesn't seem right to end the birthday festivities on such a serious scene, here is a slightly more upbeat favorite Kidman moment of Movieline's, from Moulin Rouge!
