Kidman revisits the whirlwind experience of her best actress Oscar win for “The Hours” in 2003.
Donnelly’s cover story paints a picture of Kidman in fine form, coming out of a period that she described to him has having “been in a shell” after her divorce last year from country star Keith Urban. Kidman is known as someone who never stops working, whether it be acting or producing. On her plate for 2026 is the Peacock series “Scarpetta” and the film sequel to 1998’s “Practical Magic,” which will see her reunite with Sandra Bullock. She’s also lensing Season 3 of Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ series “Lioness.”
“I think she’s come to a place where I think she she can really appreciate the luck she’s had and maybe calibrate a different sort of life for herself moving forward. She’s 58, which is a very rare age for women to be as active in Hollywood as she is. In some ways she’s at the top of her craft like she’s never been. she did admit that it was a tough year but she’s ready to emerge. This year has a ton in store for her, not just ‘Scarpetta,’ but also the highly anticipated 30-years-in-the making sequel to ‘Practical Magic,’ which was directed by Susanne Bier and reunites her with Sandra Bullock,” he says.
