Nicole Kidman was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, while her Australian parents were temporarily in the United States on educational visas. Kidman can therefore claim citizenship in Australia and the United States.[11] Her father, Antony David Kidman, is a biochemist, clinical psychologist, and author.[12][13] Her mother, Janelle Ann (née Glenny), is a nursing instructor who edits her husband's books and was a member of the Women's Electoral Lobby. Kidman's ancestry includes Scottish and Irish heritage.[14] Her paternal great-great-great-grandfather was Sir Sidney Kidman (1857–1935), an Australian pastoralist who owned or co-owned huge areas of the Australian outback.[15]
