Nicole Kidman: Real Life Shouldn't Be Like the Movies

Just in time for the holiday season, Nicole Kidman turned up in Washington, D.C., to encourage peace on earth and good will toward women.
The Oscar-winning actress and Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) said today before a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee that she is through with roles that sell tickets sexually objectify and demean women, while admitting that movie stereotypes "probably" contribute to instances of violence in real life—though Hollywood has also "contributed to solutions."
"I can't be responsible for all of Hollywood but I can certainly be responsible for my own career," said Kidman, who was on Capitol Hill to promote the International Violence Against Women Act and, of course, lobby for more funds for programs that aid the fairer sex around the globe.
"I am far from an expert, I rely on the people I've met to make the case," she continued, adding that crimes like rape and domestic violence recognize "no borders, no race or class."
"In the real world, the laws go unenforced and impunity is the norm. We need the money."
