Dust Jacket is in very good condition, without tears or chips or other damage. Deckled edges (rough cut). A fine unread copy.. This book is available and ready to be shipped.. Tall, Australian, one of the striking beauties of the world, Nicole Kidman is that rare modern phenomenon-an authentic movie star who is as happy and as creative throwing a seductive gaze from some magazine cover as she is being Virginia Woolf in The Hours. Here is the story of how this actress began her career, has grown through her roles, taken risks, made good choices and bad, and worried about money, aging, and image. From the brilliant film historian and critic David Thomson, a book that reinvents the star biography in a singularly illuminating portrait of Nicole Kidman-and what it means to be a top actress today. At once life story, love letter, and critical analysis, this is not merely a book about who Kidman is but about what she is-in our culture and in our minds, on- and offscreen. Quantity Available: 1.
