After Liane Moriarty penned best-selling novel Big Little Lies, it didn't take long for Hollywood heavyweights Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon to set their sights on adapting it for TV.
But on Sunday, the Australian author admitted things almost got off to a shaky start when she agreed to meet Nicole in Sydney four years ago, with the A-list actress intent on securing the TV rights to the book.
Speaking to Channel Nine's 60 Minutes recalled the awkward moment she met the Oscar-winner, 50, for the first time at a coffee shop in Darlinghurst, Sydney four years ago.

Liane explained the Hollywood star wanted to meet with her to snap up the TV rights to the HBO smash hit at a local cafe.
'When I got there, the cafe was closed. So I thought to myself, I wonder if they've closed the cafe just for her,' Liane said, explaining she didn't know what to expect from a celebrity.
'I don't know. Maybe that's the way things are done. And so I walked around the back and I could see the cooking staff.
Liane went on to explain she tried to make eye contact with the staff and get their attention so she could be let in.
'I said, "Are you closed?" and they said, "Yes." So I looked at them and said: ''Are you closed for everyone?"
She continued with a laugh: 'And they said, "Yes, we're closed for everyone.'''
In response, Channel Nine host Liz Hayes exclaimed in jest: 'Get out!'
'When I got there, the cafe was closed. So I thought to myself, I wonder if they've closed the cafe just for her' Liane laughed about how her meeting with Nicole almost went awry
But the situation was quickly resolved when they found nearby open venue to discuss the book.
'Then we finally found another place to meet and she was lovely and warm and very down to earth,' Liane said.
Nicole, who also appeared on the current affairs program on Sunday said she had just come from the set of Big Little Lies season 2 to film the interview.
The acclaimed actress, who won an Emmy and Golden Globe for her performance as an abused wife in the series, said she 'loves' Liane and felt great responsibility to turn the book into a television blockbuster.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
