Nicole Kidman's Teenage Singing Sensation


NICOLE KIDMAN was no novice when it came to singing in MOULIN ROUGE (2001) - she was in a band as a teenager in Australia. The redheaded actress stars in the musical movie as courtesan SATINE, and has been widely praised for her excellent voice. And she's certainly had plenty of practise, explaining,

"I sang when I was 17 in Australia but we didn't do very well obviously - well, we didn't become famous. But my mother started me singing around the piano when I was a little girl and she always wanted me to do a musical. This is the first time I've ever sung on film and now I've done it, I'd love to do it on stage as well. " (BRC/NW/KW)
