built 127 days ago
Nicole Kidman has come forward to defend her ex-husband, Tom Cruise. She said that during their marriage, she became pregnant not once but twice. Her first pregnancy was an ectopic pregnancy and had to be terminated because the fetus was growing outside her womb. Her second pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.

Nicole Kidman finally came clean about being pregnant, and most certainly was forced to confirm her pregnancy while major outlets were reporting what she only now admitted: she and her husband, country singer Keith Urban, are expecting their first biological child. She has two adopted children from her marriage to Tom Cruise.

In 1997, DreamWorks turned out its first movie, The Peacemaker, with George Clooney and Nicole Kidman, but it was considered to be far from a success, reaching only $12 million during its opening weekend. But, what followed was a string of much more successful movies: Mouse Hunt (Nathan Lane), Amistad (with Morgan Freeman and Anthony Hopkins), Small Soldiers (with the voice of Tommy Lee Jones), Paulie (with Gena Rowlands, Cheech Marin, and Buddy Hackett), and Deep Impact (with Robert Duvall and Morgan Freeman). Amistad, which came out in 1996, was Spielberg's first directorial project for DreamWorks. On the animated film front, DreamWorks joined with PDI in 1996 to co-produce original computer-generated feature films, including Antz, which was completed in 1998, just weeks ahead of Disney's own insect-themed animation film, A Bug's Life. Katzenberg ... landed for DreamWorks the rights to Chicken Run, a promising Claymation project that was in development by Oscar-winning Aaardman Animations. The film would later become a hit in 2000.

[I]ntroduced to American audiences in Days of Thunder, Australian actress Kidman wed Tom Cruise in 1990. The two starred together in Ron Howard's sweeping historical epic Far and Away, but Kidman branched out on her own, co-starring in 1995's Batman Forever and Gus Van Sant's To Die For. Cruise and Kidman devoted most of 1997 to shooting starring roles in legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's erotic psychological thriller Eyes Wide Shut, which was released in the summer of 1999. Kidman next returned to Australia to team up with Baz Luhrmann for the musical Moulin Rouge. Since her 2001 divorce from Cruise, Kidman has gone on to prove herself again and again, from the ghost story The Others to her critically acclaimed turn in Lars von Trier's controversial drama Dogville. But it was 2002's The Hours that earned Kidman her first Oscar, proving once and for all that this actress is much more than just the former Mrs. Tom Cruise.

In 1999, Kidman starred in one of her most controversial to date, Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. The film, adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's Traumnovelle and cloaked in secrecy from the beginning of its production... stars Cruise as Kidman's physician husband. During the spring and summer of 1999, the media unsurprisingly hyped the couple's onscreen pairing -- and the alleged envelope-pushing sexual content -- as the two major selling points. However, despite an added measure of intrigue from Kubrick's death only weeks after shooting wrapped, Eyes Wide Shut repeated the performance of prior Kubrick efforts by opening to a radically mixed reaction. For the most part, however, the critics (even those who disliked the film) consistently lavished praise onto Kidman's performance. Variety's Todd McCarthy rhapsodized, "Kidman is sensational and luminous as she inhabits her character, who reps a convincing argument for the view that women are far more cognizant and expressive of their emotions than are men."

From All Movie Guide: Once relegated to decorative parts for years and long acknowledged as the wife of Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman spent the latter half of the 1990s and the first decade of the new millennium earning much-deserved critical respect. Standing a willowy 5'11" and sporting one of Hollywood's most distinctive heads of frizzy red hair, the Australian actress first entered the American mindset with her role opposite Cruise in Days of Thunder (1990), but it wasn't until she starred as a homicidal weather girl in Gus Van Sant's 1995 To Die For that she achieved recognition as a thespian of considerable range and talent.
