29m
American-Australian actress and producer Nicole Kidman sits down for a conversation at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum before a screening of her 2003 film, “Cold Mountain.” This program, moderated by Lauren Thelen and presented in partnership with the Nashville Film Festival, was recorded on September 21, 2025.
During the program, Kidman talks about growing up in Australia, moving to the United States to pursue a career in acting, and how Nashville has become her home and one of her favorite places. She shares stories about how Nashville has evolved and what it’s like living and raising children in such a creative city.
Kidman also offers insight into her “Cold Mountain” character, Ada Monroe. The 2003 film—which also stars Jude Law and Renee Zellweger—is based on a 1997 historical fiction novel by author Charles Frazier and follows the story of a soldier who deserts the Confederate army near the end of the American Civil War and returns home to Cold Mountain, North Carolina.
