Actress: Nicole Kidman
Age: 43
Role: Becca Corbett in The Rabbit Hole
Synopsis: Becca and Howie Corbett (Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart) are returning to their everyday existence in the wake of a shocking, sudden loss.
Just eight months ago, they were a happy suburban family with everything they wanted. Now, they are caught in a maze of memory, longing, guilt, recrimination, sarcasm and tightly controlled rage from which they cannot escape. While Becca finds pain in the familiar, Howie finds comfort.
The shifts come in abrupt, unforeseen moments. Becca hesitantly opens up to her opinionated, loving mother (Dianne Wiest) and secretly reaches out to the teenager involved in the accident that changed everything (Miles Teller); while Howie lashes out and imagines solace with another woman (Sandra Oh).
Yet, as off track as they are, the couple keeps trying to find their way back to a life that still holds the potential for beauty, laughter and happiness.
The resulting journey is an intimate glimpse into two people learning to re-engage with each other and a world that has been tilted off its axis.

Critics: “Kidman and fellow Oscar-winning Wiest could pick up Oscar nominations for this dryly un-sentimental black comedy.” - New York Post
“A quiet, devastating, beautifully acted drama about the devastation of loss and the slow, muted, barely-there return of hope.” - Seattle Times
“With Oscar worthy performances from Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart and Dianne Wiest, this is tough and demanding subject matter, but something that ultimately provides hope.” - Box Office Magazine
