Nicole Kidman Is Turning 60 With the Busiest Career in Hollywood

Nicole Kidman turns 60 in June, and her schedule says she has no plans to slow down. She’s starring in season three of“Lioness,”filming the thriller“Discretion,”returning to“Nine Perfect Strangers,”and serving as the face of Chanel. If that sounds like a lot, it is, and industry insiders say the demand is only growing.

There’s a bigger story underneath the bookings. Sources say Kidman has been pushing back on how Hollywood measures success for women-led films, especially after“Practical Magic 2”opened at $30 million and got treated as a disappointment while smaller male-led debuts were celebrated. And the receipt she can point to: in 2017 she pledged to work with a female director every 18 months. She’s now collaborated with women directors 67 times. That’s a promise kept on repeat.

Personally, it’s been a tough stretch too. She split from Keith Urban in 2025 after 19 years of marriage, finalized in January, and she has sole custody of daughters Sunday Rose, 18, and Faith Margaret, 15, in Nashville. Add the Adéla song“Nicole Kidman”cracking the Billboard Hot 100 top 10, and it’s clear the culture is fully in her corner. So we have to ask: what’s your favorite Nicole Kidman era?
