Love her or hate her, Nicole Kidman is no longer Mrs. Tom Cruise. 1999's
Eyes Wide Shut may have been abysmal, but it showed how far Kidman has
come since Days Of Thunder and Far And Away. Flirting showed her talent,
but her part in the world's most famous marriage damaged her
credibility. Fascinating films like Malice and To Die For are offset by
turkeys such as Batman Forever and Practical Magic. She stripped on
stage in The Blue Room, but her star as Australia's Sexiest Red-Head
looks set to be eclipsed by Cate Blanchett.
