Nicole Kidman almost retired before making some of her most popular projects from recent years, she said in an interview on CBS Sunday Morning. “I think I’m pretty much done now,” she recalled thinking in 2008, just after giving birth to her daughter Sunday, one of two children the actress shares with husband Keith Urban. “I’d moved to Nashville, we were living on a farm, and that’s when my mum actually said, ‘I wouldn’t give up completely. Keep a finger in it,’” Kidman said. Her mother Janelle Kidman died in September at the age of 84. Kidman credited her mom for her continuing her acting career, which led to more award-winning work for the already Oscar-winning actress, like Big Little Lies, Being the Ricardos, Bombshell, and more—including her buzzy new film Babygirl. Kidman said her mother told her, “‘Just listen to me. Keep moving forward,’” she also recalled. “‘Not saying you have to do it to the level you’ve been doing it, but I wouldn’t give it up completely.’”
