She was the girl next door - quite literally. Peter Overton's childhood friend, his neighbour for 20 years. Even back then, she was a little star. And Peter was a little terror - he really did give her a hard time. That little star grew up to be Nicole Kidman. And just recently Peter found himself waiting in a Los Angeles hotel suite, wondering what she'd be like after all this time, after all that's happened in her life. Marriage to Tom Cruise, a family, divorce, a string of hit movies, an Academy Award. And just a bit worried too, obviously, now none of their childhood secrets would be safe anymore.
