Naomi Watts is a multiple Oscar nominee and founder of Stripes Beauty, which sells personal health products targeted to women in perimenopause and menopause.

Nicole Kidman is a multiple Oscar nominee and Oscar winner, who’s an investor and “strategic business partner” for skincare marketer Ser, Labs, global brand ambassador for another skincare brand, Clé de Peau Beauté,and an investor and advocate for Vegamour haircare products.

Now the two actors have lent their names and fame to healthcare industry players.

Watts has teamed with Johnson & Johnson (J&J)  for a social campaign and press outreach starting this month that will encourage eye exams for women over 40. 

“As we age and go through menopause,” Watts stated in a press release, “changes in our eyesight are common, yet eye health is still missing from the conversation."

Indeed, the J&J campaign ties in with the Stripes Beauty mission of serving women in perimenopause and menopause.

“Watts will help bring greater attention to the impact of hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause and how these shifts can affect vision,” stated J&J. “Through this initiative, she aims to raise awareness of the connection between menopause, aging, and eye health, encouraging individuals to prioritize regular eye exams as part of a holistic approach to well-being and longevity.”

Kidman, meanwhile, is appearing in a TV commercial and social campaign for breast cancer research on behalf of Vanderbilt Health.

In a commercial co-starring Vandana Abramson, MD, co-leader of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center’s Breast Cancer Research Program, Kidman explains how her experience dealing with her mother’s breast cancer led to her commitment to the cause.

Here's a :45 version of the fund-raising video.

Kidman and her husband whom she’s in the process of divorcing -- country singer Keith Urban -- have been longtime residents of Nashville, where Vanderbilit Health is located.

In 2023, the Cancer Center announced that the couple had made a “generous financial gift… in support of clinical trials for new and better therapies for breast cancer.”
