Nicole Kidman would probably rather forget all about 2001. In the last nine months the red-haired beauty has seen her apparently idyllic life come crashing down around her.
First there was the collapse of her marriage to Tom Cruise, then the news that she had miscarried their baby. She's also had to contend with an alleged stalker who bombarded her home with letters and, just days after her 'quickie' divorce, her superstar-ex proudly displayed his new love actress Penelope Cruz at a film premiere.
A lesser soul might have been crushed but the fragile-looking star has proved she's got more mettle than people give her credit for. Far from being broken she's upbeat, positive and still believes in love and marriage.
"I refuse to let what happened to me make me bitter," she says defiantly. "I still completely believe in love and I'm open to anything that will happen to me."
The Australian star couldn't have made that more apparent than when she was pictured yelling jubilantly on a Los Angeles street after signing divorce papers which ended her 10 year marriage. But while she is obviously embracing her new-found freedom she's remaining tight-lipped about just what went wrong in their relationship.
"I'm a woman, a mother, a daughter, a sister. I'm a real person operating in the world. For me to discuss the most private thing feels wrong. It feels like I'm betraying myself and my children," she reasons.
The couple adopted two children, Isabella eight, and Connor, six, during their marriage. Nicole, 34, says becoming a single mother is scary but she is determined to make it work. "I'm going to take care of them and myself," she says. "I'd give up anything for them."
But thankfully for her many fans she has no intention of abandoning the acting profession and insists that she's more committed to her work than ever.
"You get to work with some of the most brilliant people in the world and you help to facilitate extraordinary ideas," she enthuses. "I consider myself incredibly fortunate and I get to reach out to a lot of people."
Nicole was born in Hawaii because her Australian father, a biochemist, was studying there....
