Actress for Hier
Earlier this year, while already at work on a documentary about Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal, Marvin Hier got a call most filmmakers would give their right arms for: It was screen star Nicole Kidman asking if there’s room for her in his latest project. As The Jerusalem Post reported last week, Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said there sure was.
The film, titled “I Have Never Forgotten You,” had its premiere in Israel last week, with narration provided in Kidman’s sweet, Australian-accented voice.
