Nicole began ballet lessons at age three, mime classes at age eight and acting at ten in street theater. Young Nicole's first love was ballet, but she eventually took up mime and drama as well. Her first stage role was a bleating sheep in an elementary school Christmas pageant. She worked regularly at the Philip Street Theater. Kidman eventually dropped out of high school to pursue acting full-time.

First Break:She broke into movies at age 16, landing a role in the Australian holiday favorite Bush Christmas At fourteen, she landed her first professional role, as Petra in the TV movie Bush Christmas, an uplifting story of three dauntless kids who join with an aborigine to hunt the thieves who stole their horse.
It was shortly followed by a role in BMX Bandits, an adventure where three young BMX bikers find a trove of two-way radios that belong to bank robbers. The chief robber sends two of his bumbling cohorts out to get the radios.
In the 1983 ABC TV-series Winners, Nicole played a track star in high school who meets a new girl who is considered a bad influence and makes Nicole change her mind about making track the only thing she cares about. The episode was called "Room to Move."
At seventeen she accepted a role in the Disney production, Five Mile Creek, which ran for 7 months.

With the help of an American agent, she eventually made her US debut opposite Sam Neill in the at-sea thriller Dead Calm (1989).

"I had my first kiss on-stage; I had to yell, 'Beat me! Harder! Harder! Harder!' every night," she says of her professional stage debut, in Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening, about sexual repression in the late 1800s.

Nicole earned $6,000,000 for Practical Magic (1998) and for Moulin Rouge (2001) she earned $7,000,000

Family life has always been a priority for Nicole. When her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, 17-year-old Nicole stopped working and took a massage course so that she could provide physical therapy (her mom eventually beat the cancer).

Nicole is left handed, she is scared of butterflies. Her favorite colour is blue and she is short sighted. Nicole is also allergic to bee stings.
