Life imitates art for cowgirl Kidman
Jul 12, 2008, 8:44 GMT
Sydney - Playing aristocratic cattle rancher Lady Sarah Ashley in the soon-to-be released romantic feature film Australia has gone to local girl Nicole Kidman's head, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Saturday.
The Hollywood actor, who last week gave birth to Sunday Rose, her first child with country crooner Keith Urban, has bought a 6.5-million-Australian-dollar (6-million-US-dollar) cattle ranch 150 kilometres south-west of Sydney.
The 1878 two-storey residence was just the sort of place that Lady Sarah inherited in the storyline of the Baz Luhrmann-directed romance in which she stars alongside Hugh Jackman, who plays the rugged cowboy that sweeps her off her feet.
The 45-hectare spread in Sutton Forest has as its centrepiece a Georgian mansion with wraparound verandahs and 10 marble fireplaces.
Kidman, 41, recently sold her Sydney Harbour mansion but still has a massive apartment on a jetty almost beneath the famous bridge.
Friends of the couple say they are building a palatial family home in Nashville, Tennessee. They also recently bought a house in Los Angeles.
