Nicole Kidman revealed the last words she heard from her mother, Janelle, before she died in September.

During her guest appearance on CBS Sunday Morning in the US over the weekend, the Babygirl star opened up about the last advice her late mother gave her before breathing her last.

"Take care of yourself, Nicky!" A Family Affair actress shared, recalling, "The final words my mama said to me, I was gonna get on a plane, and she said 'Maybe wait a minute, because you just need to take care of yourself, Nicky.'"

The 57-year-old actress not only took her mother’s last advice to heart but also forwarded it to others.

"I'm doing that more, and I say that to other people in the world. Particularly women. I think we tend not to care for ourselves," she continued. "We take care of everybody else, but the last person is here."

"My grandmother left me with 'Be happy,' and my mother said, 'Take care of yourself,'" The Perfect Couple actress remembered, noting that her mother wasn't the only one who left her words of wisdom. her grandmother did the same.

It is pertinent to note that Janelle passed away at the age of 84, just hours before Kidman was awarded the Best Actress gong for her role in Babygirl at the Venice Film Festival.
