Nicole Kidman Always Wanted to 'Please' Her Late Mother: 'My Mentor'


Nicole Kidman, who recently announced the death of her mom Janelle, referred to her as “my mentor, my guide and my nurturer” in a past interview

Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald in 2020, Kidman, 57, described her mother glowingly and emphasized the important role Janelle played in shaping her career aspirations. “I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me and she made me.” The statement continued, “I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heart-breaking, and my heart is broken.” “So luckily, last — yesterday, even though [COVID-19 strain] Omicron is raging through this country, we were able to take her into the gallery after hours and show her the Matisse exhibit, which, coming from a mother who’s raised me in the arts was very, very — it was soothing balm.”
