Kidman’s father in hospital
May 2, 2008
Nicole Kidman’s father has undergone heart surgery in Australia, according to reports. The actress’ sister Antonia Kidman revealed the news on Monday at a TV prize giving in Sydney. Collecting the Astra Award for Favorite Female Personality, Antonia held back tears as she accepted the honor onstage at the Hordern Pavilion. She said, “It is a sweet end to a sad day because my dad’s in hospital.” She refused to reveal more, but reports suggest the Kidman patriarch, a renowned psychologist, underwent scheduled heart surgery hours before his daughter collected her TV award.
