ROME, Oct. 19 (UPI) -- Nicole Kidman's work on the recent
film "Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus," has led the
Australian actress to more introspective thoughts.
The 39-year-old Oscar-winner said in Rome the film about the
famed photographer made her recognize certain parallels in their
lives, People magazine reported.
"Reading Arbus' biography by Patricia Bosworth (on which 'Fur' is
based), I found many things in common with myself," said
Kidman, who was in Italy promoting the film. "I have a passion
for photography. I collect black and white photos by Man Ray and
Lee Miller, also her wish to explore the world -- to not give up on
hopes and dreams and to live life in a brave way."
Kidman said she found similar attributes to Arbus in relation to
the photographer's struggles in the 1960s to maintain a family
and a thriving career.
"Despite the fact that we live in a different era, women are still
torn between having a family and a career," Kidman told
People. "During the time I was divorced, I was able to explore
different roads. Now that I am happily married again, there are
limits."
