What a windrider! Nicole goes full circle in 22 years


Nicole started in an Aussie film, and twenty two years later is back in an Aussie film. The first real movie for Nicole was 1986's "Windrider" starring then boyfriend Tom Burlinson. "Windrider" was so bad it was good, if you know what I mean. Some might say Nicole's career started with an Aussie film and will end with an Aussie film, based on poor test screenings for "Australia". You might wonder why I didn't put Windrider in the Poll on the right of this blog. Well , it is sort of a guilty pleasure, and Tom Burlinson was a hot babe in it. Even Nicole, with her clown red hair, was considered a 'star in the making'. This film remains unavailable on DVD, and I don't know why (maybe Nicole has rights to it).

I miss the other photo of NK up top. That photo on her birthday has always been my favorite.

I might put it back up then. There are three shots from her birthday, I assume you don't mean the one shown in the post 'Everybody has photos they wish were never taken'.

Yeah, the one where her ravishing *cough* beauty was so evident. LOL

You had it up top before. I think it's much more realistic of what she really looks like.

It's your choice, I was being snarky. ;)

You will be pleased to see a shot from the 39th birthday sessions back at the top of this blog. A little different to the original one I had. I think this one better captures her beauty - don't you think?

WOW choice, thanks. I think LOL. I wish everything I ask for was granted so quickly. Great Job!

It's often overlooked that Tom Burlinson, her boyfriend at the time, was 11 years her senior. It makes you wonder about how precocious Nicole Kidman was as a teenager to not have dated a guy her own age. Then again, an ambitious actress desperate to get ahead will always have her eye on what can help her career... When I was 18 most of my friends (and myself included) wouldn't have been interested in somebody almost 30! When you are 18, 30 year olds seem old.

Well I think we all know that Nicole goes for the guys that will boost her career. I am sure that was her thinking with Keith too as he was extremely popular in America before she came along. I am not sure though that their union has helped either of their careers. The country music loving public prefer their stars to marry other country singers, don't they? Go Faith and Tim. By the way, Tim is a bit of a hottie.
