Nicole Kidman worked hard to give an accurate portrayal of Virginia Woolf in the movie The Hours. The left-handed Kidman learned how to write with her right hand. You might think that it was a lot of needless work, but Kidman disagrees. She said, “I learned to write with my right hand for it. People look at me, like, that’s crazy, and I’m like, no, it was necessary.”

All of her hard work paid off. Her authenticity and lack of a hand double resulted in a lot of recognition, including the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2003. Who says the details aren’t important?

“…Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!”—Matthew 25:21.
