Kidman seeks state of Grace

Poor old Nicole Kidman desperately needs a hit

Poor old Nicole Kidman desperately needs a hit. A glance at her recent list of disasters – The Stepford Wives, Trespass, Bewitched – must cause even the suspiciously taut Kidman brow to furrow just a tiny bit. Could the late Grace Kelly help her out? The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Ms Kidman is set to play the actor and princess in a true-life drama entitled Grace of Monaco. Olivier Dahan, director of La Vie en Rose, is at the helm for a story dealing with disputes between General de Gaulle and the Monacan court in the early 1960s. We wish Ms Kidman’s current face all the best.
