So let me get this straight....


She was called back to audition for Eyes Wide Shut, but decided against it when she was going to have to do the scene topless.

Instead, she showed her rack in Dexter several times ?

What does this woman have in her brains ? beans ?

reply

Kidman's career wasn't defined by EWS. She had a career before it and she had a career after it, it probably had no impact whatsoever.

reply

Thank you! A voice of reason in a sea of confused thought.

She hadn’t had her b**b job yet?

reply

Maybe over the course of 8 years she changed her mind.

Or she believed Dexter was a better project than EWS, and more worth it.

And maybe she heard stories about what it was like working for Kubrick, and how he had treated some of his previous actresses, and she decided that she wanted nothing to do with him.

How had Kubrick treated previous actresses?

reply

He practically tortured Shelly Duval when filming The Shinning. A lot has been said and written about it. Some even suspect that it's a big part of the mental illness she suffers from today.

reply

Huh. I never saw this documentary by Kubrick's daughter. Sad about Duvall. She was a very promising actor.
