Signatures: Nicole Kidman

Adam of Club Silencio here with a look at my favorite actresses and their distinguishing claims to fame.

Like a sparkling diamond we can't take our eyes off of Nicole Kidman. Let's be honest, she prefers it that way. Nicole likes to place herself at the center of everything - at least on camera.


Even indirectly, be it as a writer whose words and legacy trickle down through the generations, or as a TV weathergirl who uses her husband's funeral for publicity; Nicole has a way of making things revolve completely around her.

Entire townships rely solely on Nicole for their daily chores and sexual favors, and children pretend to be reincarnated just to get with her. Likewise her directors have a way of being utterly entranced by her -- feeding her needs while still maintaining it's all "essential to the story."


The ravishing Aussie beauty insists she's the opposite of her screen-stealing persona, "I'm very exposed in the movies I do, yet I'm incredibly private in my own live." Should we believe that Nicole dislikes all this attention? Well Margot certainly doesn't... Watch her climb a tree! She used to be so good at climbing trees.


Nicole's content with her place in the spotlight for the moment, or so she says. "People used to say, 'Oh she's so cold.' And now they realize, I think, that it's actually misinterpreted. It's actually shyness. I am really, really shy. As a child I would hide under my mother's skirt, and they couldn't get me to come out." But in reality she was just under there planning how to get our attention next.

"Wilting flower? Bright and bubbly? Or smoldering temptress?"
