Together with the release of Lee Daniel’s The Paperboy and the unleashing of Charlotte Bless upon the world, we take a look back at half a dozen equally extraordinary Kidman performances.
Though we had a plethora of roles to choose from, these six stood head and shoulders above the rest, each sharing a common thread of magic that allowed these complex even unlikeable characters veracity and charm.
Katrina Stanton, Bangkok Hilton (1989)
Although her turn in Dead Calm was the performance that grabbed the attention of the movie going world (and the heart of Tom Cruise), television drama Bangkok Hilton – released the same year – revealed far more range in the emotional vocabulary of the talented auburn newcomer.
Bangkok Hilton, written and produced by Dead Calm’s Terry Hayes, follows Katrina Stanton from the outback estate where she was born and raised to Sydney and across the globe to Europe in...

The Doctor of Thuganomics’ biggest Attitude Adjustment has perhaps been on his own career, as the World Heavyweight, World Wrestling Entertainment, U.S., World Tag Team, WWE Tag Team, Royal Rumble and 2010 Superstar of the Year Slammy Award winner is also a hip-hop musician and movie star. His big-screen breakout came in 2006 with “The Marine,” a role that allowed him to play the stalwart soldier opposite Robert Patrick’s deliciously over-the-top villain who makes the mistake of kidnapping Cena’s feisty wife. Subsequently, he has also starred in “12 Rounds” and “Legendary.”
Choice Quotation:

Van Buren: That’s a matter for law enforcement now.
Triton: Listen. I’ve seen them kill three people. My wife will not be number four.
Van Buren: I can...
