The Australian actress was thrilled that the AFI honor was “beyond my wildest dreams” when she was announced as a recipient last weekend.
“Receiving this award fills me with overwhelming gratitude,” she wrote at the time. “To be the first Australian to be honored in this way leaves me speechless.
Kidman added: “I grew up as a suburban Sydney girl who just wanted to act; having built a career doing what I love is a blessing beyond my dreams. I thank the AFI for this wonderful honor.”
