Kidman raising breast cancer awareness

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman has visited Madame Tussauds to launch a breast cancer awareness campaign. The Hollywood star stopped traffic as she posed outside the London attraction. Wearing a pink ribbon - symbol of the campaign - she urged women to be more aware of the disease.

Kidman, 39, is the face of Cancer Research UK's campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And she has personal experience of the disease. Her mother Janelle was diagnosed with breast cancer when Kidman was 17 and went on to beat the disease.
