More details on Nicole Kidman’s feature on Time’s Women of the Year 2025 list

Kidman was featured alongside 12 other distinguished women on the coveted list due to her impactful contributions to the movie industry and her resolve to work with at least one female director every 18 months to create more jobs for women in Hollywood. According to Time magazine:

"In the eight years since she has produced or acted with 19 in film and TV."

It continues:

"Because her participation can move a project to greenlight, she literally creates jobs. Hollywood’s status quo can change, she says, “but it can only be changed by actually being in the films of women.”

In an interview with Eliana Dockterman of Time magazine published on February 20, 2025, the actress talked about her journey in the acting industry and how she contemplated quitting at some point due to criticism, bullying, low self-esteem, and grief, citing how she got through her lowest points because she loved her work.

The actress also shared how she learned a lesson about bravery from the first role offered to her as an actress. Kidman added that she enjoyed working with female directors as her way of opening doors for women.
