Nicole Kidman is mourning the loss of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, who passed away shortly before the Venice Film Festival where Nicole was awarded Best Actress for her role in 'Babygirl.' Upon arriving in Venice, Kidman was informed of her mother's death and chose to leave immediately to be with her family, expressing her shock and dedicating the award to her mother in a statement read by the film's director, Halina Reijn. Kidman described her mother as a guiding force in her life and career, stating, 'She shaped me, she guided me, and she made me.' Kidman had previously shared her mother's health struggles and the profound influence she had on her professional journey. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time, and condolences have been shared by fellow filmmakers at the festival.
