Nicole Kidman made her Hollywood debut as a fetching brain surgeon opposite future husband Tom Cruise as a race car driver in Days of Thunder (1990).
Kidman worked regularly in Hollywood with occasional trips home for work in Australian film and TV, such as in the 1990 feature Flirting (the acclaimed sequel to 1987's The Year My Voice Broke).
1995 was a banner year for Kidman. She played the female lead opposite Val Kilmer in the high-profile sequel Batman Forever and starred in To Die For, a much smaller-scale Gus Van Sant-directed comedy thriller that created a sensation at Cannes. In the former, one of that summer's most anticipated movies, Kidman played a glamorous criminal psychologist with the hots for the Caped Crusader and Bruce Wayne. In the latter, she shone opposite Matt Dillon as a TV weathercaster with murderous designs on her husband.
