Abstract/Description |
This article examines Nicole Kidman's articulation of her craft of acting and her remarkable acumen for developing and implementing career strategy. Traditionally, celebrity discourses have marginalised the actress's skill sets, labour, intellect, and business and entrepreneurial flair. Kidman has been subject to continued erasures and some particularly brutal attacks in this regard, despite her extraordinary portfolio and many reflections on her working processes and roles. The article examines the vanishing effects of persistent sexualisation of her performances and renders visible Kidman's meticulous and hard-working commitment to her craft. It considers Kidman's strategic development of her trademark mutability and unpredictability in the selection of her roles, the significance of theatre in her trajectory, and the advancement of her political agendas, very much apparent in her decision to found her own company and take greater control of the business and processes of production. |
