Elegant Nicole Kidman, known as one of Hollywoods top Australian imports, was actually born in Honolulu, Hawaii, while her Australian parents were there on educational visas. Kidman is the daughter of Janelle Ann (Glenny), a nursing instructor, and Antony David Kidman, a biochemist and clinical psychologist. She is of English, Irish, and Scottish descent. Shortly after her birth, the family moved to Washington, D.C., where Nicoles father pursued his research on breast cancer, and then, three years later, made the pilgrimage back to her parents native Sydney in Australia, where Nicole was raised. Young Nicoles 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).
