girl-woman who is destined never to grow up (think Sandra Dee without the curves).
See "Dead Calm" and see how red-blooded the redhead can be... and this was in '89! A major talent, already, at that age in a rather mundane thriller, though with two damn good other actors.
Eyes Wide Shut: a crappy movie but... she had me quite interested, especially in those scenes where she walked around in her skivvies.
But the fuckability index ain't what a female actress should be rated, talent-wise, on... is it?
Where would Bette Davis be, then? Or Keaton, Streep, Davis (Judy and Geena), and many others?
Kidman often plays strong women and, to some men, that's a "problem."
Of course, there are plenty of Ang Jolies and other candy for those guys...

        ... and presumably money and a contract was part of the agreement.
        I still find it hard to comprehend how in this day and age someone like Cruise has to put up a pretense of being heterosexual.

        ..everything will be ok, like Monty Clift & Tony Curtis.
        Only they were better actors, of course.

      ... I'll say it again. I think her best suited role was Bewitched. To me she has a natural look for that role (witchy, not in a good way). As for her other movies:
      -Moulin Rouge. Both my wife and I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes. I VERY rarely don't watch any movie through. This one I could not.
      -The others. Enjoyed it, but somewhat forgetable.
      -Dogville. Never seen it.
      -Eyes Wide Shut. Also turned it off. Crap (to me).
      -Dead calm. Barely remember it, too long ago. Remember enjoying it somewhat.
      -The one she recently made with Sean Penn. A bit disjointed I thought (the movie).
      I don't remember her acting being anything memorable in anything I've seen.
