by

As a dedicated admirer and observer of Nicole Kidman‘s life journey, I have been deeply moved by her heartfelt tributes to her late mother, Janelle Ann Kidman. Her words echo the profound impact a parent can have on their child’s life, serving as a mentor, guide, and source of inspiration.

Nicole Kidman still pays tribute to her mother following her passing in September. In a recent conversation, the actress expressed deep admiration for her mom, referring to her as a guiding influence throughout her life.

In her conversation with Extra, the actress from Special Ops: Lioness shared that her mother has been an undeniably significant influence in shaping her life’s journey, serving as her guiding star for all decisions she made.

In a 2020 interview, actress Kidman shared how her mother had a profound influence on her during her early years. She stated that her mother’s encouragement was responsible for igniting the passion within her to become an actress. This inspiration, she said, was like a gift bestowed upon her by her mom, who blazed her own trail and wanted her daughters to have the same opportunities to follow their dreams as well.

Janelle Ann Kidman, who recently passed away at the age of 84, played a substantial role in shaping Nicole Kidman’s style. In an interview with People magazine in November 2023, Nicole revealed that her mother was deeply involved in choosing outfits for important industry events. She explained that her mom and grandmother had a passion for exquisite clothing, were proficient in embroidery and knitting, and this artistic flair sparked Nicole’s own love for fashion.

On September 7th, I received the heart-wrenching news about my mother’s demise, while I was immersed in the grandeur of the Venice Film Festival. With a heavy heart, I chose to prioritize being with my family over the prestigious event, and made an immediate departure.

At a recent festival, Nicole Kidman won the Best Actress award for her performance in Babygirl. In the event that she would have spoken during her acceptance speech, director Halina Reijin read out a statement from Kidman instead. In this message, Kidman shared her surprise over the passing of her mother and dedicated the prize to her memory.

After hearing about the news, Kidman’s family received numerous messages of condolence from fans and well-wishers. As a result, actress Nicole Kidman and her sister, Antonia Kidman, expressed their gratitude in a joint Instagram post on September 12. The post included a series of photos showcasing their cherished memories with their late mother and family.

This week, I’ve been overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of affection and goodwill showered upon my family and me, and I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you from the bottom of ours. My sister, our loved ones, and I are truly grateful for this emotional outpouring.
