[About
Tom Cruise] "I wouldn't want to be married
to me, but luckily he does."
|
|
She
attended St. Martin's Youth Theater in Melbourne,
Australia. At 14 years of age she starred in her
first film role as Helen in the Australian TV Movie
Bush Christmas. Later she starred in several other
Australian TV Movies, most notably Vietnam and Bangkok
Hilton which earned her Best Actress awards from
the Australian Film Institute. But, it was her role
in the 1989 thriller, Dead Calm with a disturbing
rape scene where she was first noticed by Hollywood
audiences. She played the role of Rae Ingram in
the thriller and it kick-started her career. She
then starred in her first Hollywood film Days of
Thunder along side Tom Cruise. Tom reportedly said
"My first reaction to meeting Nic was pure lust..."
Shortly after Dead Calm she took the female lead
in Days of Thunder and at the age of 23 Nicole became
the second wife of Tom Cruise at a secret ceremony
on the 24th December in Colorado, USA. Even though
Nicole is unable to procreate due to a minor genetic
quirk, her versatility, personality and skill has
transcended this Hollywood biological barrier.
She did
three films during her first year of marriage to
Tom. Nicole worked with actors like Dustin Hoffman
(in Billy Bathgate), Alec Baldwin (in Malice), Michael
Keaton (in My Life) and of course Tom Cruise (in
Far and Away). In 1995 Nicole took the world by
storm by first appearing in Batman Forever as Dr.
Chase Meridian along side Val Kilmer; And then taking
the leading role in the black comedy To Die For.
Although Nicole and Tom have not had any children
they have adopted 2, Isabella Jane and Connor Anthony.
It's really sad to see the couple part, but the
chemistry in their film, Eyes Wide Shut was very
off and I believe their trouble started way back
then. There was no genuine affection in those roles. |
