Janelle Kidman died in September, with her death announced as Kidman arrived in Italy to accept the Venice International Film Festival award for Best Actress.

“I am in shock and I have to go to my family but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me, and she made me,” Kidman said in a letter read by Babygirl director Halina Reijn at the award ceremony.

Janelle is understood to have experienced health issues since at least 2022.
