Image Credit: Splash Pictures; Howard Sochurek/Time Life Pictures/Getty Images Nicole Kidman has stepped into the shoes of writers Martha Gellhorn ( Hemingway & Gellhorn ),Virginia Woolf ( The Hours ) and photographer Diane Arbus( Fur ) for previous roles, but if the latest pictures from the set of the upcoming biopic Grace of Monaco are any indication, her role as actress-turned-princess Grace Kelly might be her best historical figure transformation yet. Earlier pictures from the set showed Kidman in vintage day wear and a chic gold gown, giving some indication of how costume designer Gigi Lepage would help morph her into the glamorous icon. But when the actress stepped on the Monte Carlo set October 30 to film scenes with Tim Roth, who plays her on-screen husband Prince Rainier III, there was no denying she looked every bit a princess.

October 30th, 2012 | 4:15 pm by Halle Kiefer ( @hallekiefer ) Watch your ever-dwindling back, Matthew McConaughey ! Nicole Kidman wants to steal the Academys hearts and minds next year, and shes attempting to do it without losing sixty to eighty pounds to do it. Maybe shell slap on a blond fall and a little cheekbone highlighter, but thats it! Currently filming her Grace Kelly biopic Grace of Monaco in Monaco, Kidman stepped out in a winter coat and ballgown yesterday looking like a dead ringer for the famous actress-turned-royalty. Then again, Kidman has always been a biopic hound. Whether its playing Martha Gellhorn in Hemingway & Gellhorn , photographer Diane Arbus ! in Fur above Or author Virginia Woolf in The Hours , the womans never met a wig or false eyelashes she hasnt liked. Nicole was also great as herself in Eyes Wide Shut (you cant fool us, Stanley Kubrick !), but that probably doesnt count. All her famous roles considered, you have to admit Kidman most clos...

(Warner Bros./Kobal Collection) It's long been believed that Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman 's marriage was on the rocks when they played a troubled couple in Stanley Kubrick's 1999 sexual psycho-drama "Eyes Wide Shut," but in an essay for The Hollywood Reporter , Kidman sets the record straight. "People thought that making the film was the beginning of the end of my marriage, but I don't really think it was," Kidman wrote. "Tom and I were close then, and it was very much the three of us. Onscreen, the husband and wife are at odds, and Stanley wanted to use our marriage as a supposed reality." "That was Stanley: He used the movie as provocation, pretending it was our sex life - which we weren't oblivious to, but obviously it wasn't us. We both decided to dedicate ourselves to a great filmmaker and artist," she said. Kidman admitted that she had to get over her inhibitions about some of the movie's love scenes. "Sta...

BY Eli Epstein | October 25 2012 11:28 AM When epochal director Stanley Kubricks last film, Eyes Wide Shut, debuted after his death in 1999, it baffled many. Were the movies stars -- portrayed by real life lovers Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman -- struggling with marital hardships both in the film and in reality? Minds wandered, and Kubrick, historically secretive about the messages of and motivations for his work, remained tight-lipped. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter , Kidman -- now divorced from Cruise and married to Aussie singer and American Idol judge Keith Urban -- says that Eyes Wide Shut did not lead to the dissolution of her marriage with Cruise, as many have speculated after watching the film.
