"She’ll often say to me a foreign film I’ve absolutely ever heard of, like, y’all,” Witherspoon said. “And she’s like, 'But do you see that director? It’s incredible. Reese, we must get her. We must.‘ ”

"And I'm like, 'Yeah, OK. You call her first. And I'll just be on the phone,'" she continued, as the cameras pan to reactions from Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban.

The special event, honoring Kidman, occurred on April 27, 2024, and will air on Monday, June 17 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on TNT and on Turner Classic Movies on June 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
