    Nicole Kidman says off-screen privacy is key

    PASADENA, California (AP) — Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen play writers Martha Gellhorn and Ernest Hemingway in a new HBO film, but they'd prefer to keep their own lives off-screen.

    At a news conference Friday promoting "Hemingway & Gellhorn," Kidman said she likes her privacy and protects it "quite diligently." She and husband Keith Urban live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their two daughters.

    Kidman's British co-star shares her viewpoint. Of a Clive Owen biopic, he said, "I wouldn't want to see it."

    "Hemingway & Gellhorn" is set to air in May. It's about the passionate, short-lived relationship of Gellhorn, a daring war correspondent, and the great novelist.

    Kidman says she enjoys portraying inspirational women "who defy the odds and that burn bright," as Gellhorn did.

      Saw her upclose at a resort in Hawaii last year. She gave me a knowing smile, as if to say hello, and I quietly walked by her, thrilled by this. Wouldn't have thought of bothering her, and it was so nice of her to smile like a kind, nice person., A lot of stars would have simply looked away.

        You didn't bother to even say hello?

        I'm so glad that she's away from Tom Cruise and living a normal life.

      She is now and has been for a long time, a VERY classy lady. From all appearances she and Keith Urban have been good for each other--a solid matchup. She appears to be as solid as a rock.

      Sounds like this will be an interesting film. As for her privacy, why not? She's always been very private and has a right to it. To the haters on here...Get Over Yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I can't wait to watch this. Perhaps she will get an Emmy nomination for this portrayal.

      When you have real talent, you don't have that desire to have constant attention. Just look at the people who can perfom and the people that HAVE to LEAK a sex tape and then go on 'Reality TV'.

      One hopes that privacy maintains for both actors. Everyone needs their own quiet and private times and places in order to keep reality grounded in their lives.

      They live about 10 miles down the road from here. Their place isn't all that special just blends in with all the other big spreads. No one bothers them here as they both do mundane things like the rest of us. Buy gas, shop and Keith plays at some of the country grocery stores that have live music. They both have handgun carry permits.

      There needs to be a law demanding privracy, and protecting these people, as the press, have stalked, distorted, and terrorized these people! sometimes resulting in car accidents, and suicides.

      Don't stoke the curiosity, don't answer questions or give details of your personal lives and ppl will leave you alone.
