on meeting nicole kidman


one of naomi watts' best friends is fellow actress nicole kidman, who also hails from sydney. "the first audition i ever went on was where i met nicole. somebody had set me up with an agent, and i came home from school one day and had a message saying, 'can you get to this place, blah, blah, blah.' i was 15. and it wasn't like i was used to calling cabs and getting myself to this destination. my mom wasn't home. i remember i kind of pulled it together and i went in my school uniform. i didn't even know that i should get into an outfit. i got there and they said, 'we need to see what you look like in a swimsuit and we need to take a photograph.' nicole was there and we just chitchatted for about an hour. we had friends in common because i was working at a deli on the weekends and i knew that she knew the people i worked with. so we chatted about that and we shared a taxi home since we both lived on the north side."
