‘Excited To Celebrate': Nicole Kidman Shares Clip Of Her Acting At 14 Ahead Of AFI Lifetime Achievement Award
Nicole Kidman’s Big Little Lies co-stars, Meryl Streep, Naomi Watts, and Reese Witherspoon, along with Morgan Freeman are among the presenters at the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute.
As Hollywood actor Nicole Kidman marks her 41st year in the industry as an actor, she takes a look back at where it all started, her debut film at 14. The Oscar-winning actor is set to win the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award on April 27 and become the first Australian ever to receive the honor.
Taking to Instagram, Kidman shared a clip from the 1983 Australian Christmas drama film Bush Christmas which was her first film. She was only a 14-year-old in this remake of the 1947 film of the same name directed by Henri Safran.
“This 14 year old girl could have never predicted all the talented people she would get to work with and the many different characters she would get to play 😱” she wrote in the caption.
Kidman added, “So excited to celebrate with so many friends and peers on Saturday with the @AmericanFilmInstitute xx #BushChristmas”

Kidman’s Big Little Lies co-stars, Meryl Streep, Naomi Watts, and Reese Witherspoon, along with Morgan Freeman are among the presenters at the tribute.
“Both a powerhouse performer, spellbinding movie star, and accomplished producer, Nicole Kidman has captured the imaginations of audiences throughout her prolific career, delivering complex and versatile performances onscreen,” wrote AFI.
