It was the filming of Hollywood filmmakers that made her rich and world-famous, an actress whose talent are admired by tens of millions of viewers.

The work disappointed her, and upon completion of the contract she returned home. The best friend of Naomi Watts over the years is Nicole Kidman, with whom they met in Australia in her youth.
At the age of 14 she nearly drowned while swimming, when a powerful current carried her away from the shore. Then her brother saved her. For the first time she starred in a movie at the age of 18, playing a small role in the film “Just for Love”. The actress has repeatedly said that she believes in the afterlife. She does not like horror movies, which did not prevent her from acting in a very frightening “Bell” and “Shining”. She herself said that this is not a horror, but only thrillers.
