Have long thought that Kidman should be credited as *the* A-list actor who navigated the last 30 years of industry earthquakes the most deftly. She’s always followed her oddball taste (even in cash-grab stuff) and really defined the careful maneuvering btwn studio, indie, and TV
During her AFI Life Achievement speech, Nicole Kidman thanked all the directors she has worked with enumerating them in entirety:
Philip Noyce, Robert Benton, Ron Howard, Gus van Sant, Stephen Daldry, Lars von Trier, Alejando Amenábar, Jonathan Glazer, Noah Baumbach, Mimi Leder, John Cameron Mitchell, Rob Marshall, Lee Daniels, Jonathan Levine, Philip Kaufman, Park Chan-wook, Paul King, Werner Herzog, Garth Davis, Susanne Bier, Yorgos Lanthimos, Sofia Coppola, Karyn Kusama, Jay Roach, Billy Ray, Harold Becker, Ryan Murphy, Richard LaGravanese, Aaron Sorkin, Robert Eggers, Lulu Wang, Mimi Cave, Halina Reijn, George Miller, Jane Campion, Baz Luhrmann, Tony Scott, Joel Schumacher, Sydney Pollack, Anthony Minghella, Nora Ephron, Jean-Marc Vallée, and Stanley Kubrick.
The combination of directors above is so varied and unpredictable which easily makes her one of the most exciting actresses we have -- maybe even of all time.
