An awkward, gawky teenager who was teased relentlessly
because of her height, Nicole Kidman took refuge
in the theatre, and she landed her first professional
role at the age of 14, when she starred in Bush
Christmas (1983), a TV movie about a group of
kids who band together with an Aborigine to find
their stolen horse. This was followed by a role
in another adventure film, BMX Bandits (1983),
and a number of TV movies.
Kidman's first breakthrough came when she was
asked to star in Vietnam, a miniseries directed
by John Duigan; the actress won positive notices
for her portrayal of an awkward 1960s schoolgirl
who matures into an idealistic 24-year-old Vietnam
war protester. She also won an American agent,
something that opened quite a few doors of opportunity.
