Julianne Moore
(born Julie Anne Smith on December 3, 1960 in
Fayetteville, North Carolina) is an Emmy Award-winning
American actress. She has been nominated for four
Academy Awards.
Early life: Moore was born to Peter Moore Smith,
a military judge and army colonel, and Anne, a
psychiatrist and social worker who emigrated from
Dunoon, Scotland;[citation needed] she has a younger
sister, Valerie, and brother, Peter Moore Smith III
(born 1965). Growing up as an "army brat", she
lived in twenty-three places across the United States
and Germany. Moore attended Frankfurt American High
School in Frankfurt, Germany, graduating in 1979. She
received her Bachelor's degree at the College of Fine
Arts in Boston University.
Career: Moore moved to New York City in 1983,
working as a waitress before being cast in the dual
roles of Frannie and Sabrina Hughes on the soap opera As
the World Turns, for which she won a Daytime Emmy Award;
she played the roles from 1985 to 1988. Because of
Screen Actors Guild rules, she had to change her name,
as there were already actresses named "Julie
Smith" as well as "Julianne Smith". She
chose her father's middle name, "Moore", but
because there was already another actress named
"Julie Moore", she finally settled on
"Julianne Moore".
Moore began starring in feature films in the early
1990s, mostly appearing in supporting roles in films
like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Benny and Joon with
Johnny Depp, and The Fugitive. Her part in 1993's Short
Cuts gained her critical acclaim and recognition, and
she was cast in several high-profile Hollywood films,
including 1995's romantic comedy Nine Months, and 1997's
summer blockbuster The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Her
role in the well-reviewed independent film, Safe, also
attracted critical attention.
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Moore appeared in
a series of films that received Oscar recognition,
including her roles in Boogie Nights ("Best
Supporting Actress" nomination), The End of the
Affair ("Best Actress" nomination) and her two
2002 films, Far From Heaven ("Best Actress"
nomination) and The Hours ("Best Supporting
Actress" nomination). During this period, she also
appeared in the commercial successes Hannibal
(controversially replacing Jodie Foster as Clarice
Starling) and The Forgotten, and in Paul Thomas
Anderson's follow-up to Boogie Nights, Magnolia.
Boasting talent, versatility, and one of the most
distinctive heads of hair in Hollywood, Julianne Moore
has proven herself equally adept in both mainstream
blockbusters and smaller, more intelligent films. The
daughter of a military judge and a Scottish social
worker, Moore was born in Fayetteville, NC, on December
3, 1961. After attending Boston University, she began
her acting career via the taxing world of soap opera.
From 1985 until 1988, she was best-known for her role as
Franny Hughes on As the World Turns. The part, which on
occasion required her to play twins, won Moore a 1988
Daytime Emmy Award.
The actress made her entrance into the big-screen arena
with a 1990 debut in the schlocktastic Tales From the
Darkside: The Movie (which also featured Steve Buscemi).
Two years later, after making various TV movies, Moore
reappeared in feature films with supporting parts in
Curtis Haknson's tale of a babysitter gone bad, The Hand
That Rocks the Cradle, and the comedy The Gun in Betty
Lou's Handbag.
The following year, her exposure increased further
thanks to roles in four different films that ranged from
the half-baked thriller Body of Evidence to the sweetly
quirky Benny and Joon to the big-budget smash The
Fugitive to Robert Altman's epic Short Cuts. The last
film gave Moore literal exposure in addition to the more
figurative kind: she was required to play one scene
naked from the waist down, something that predictably
won the attention of critics and filmgoers.
The intermittent praise that had been afforded Moore was
amplified in 1994 with her performance as Yelena in
Vanya on 42nd Street. The object of adjectives ranging
from "luminescent" to "radiant" to
"revelatory," the actress went on to play a
very different character in Todd Haynes' Safe (1995).
Moore won an Independent Spirit Award nomination for her
portrayal of a woman (literally) sickened by the
environment around her and further proved that she was
an actress of distinct versatility. The same year she
again demonstrated this ability with a starring role
opposite Hugh Grant in the comedy Nine Months.
Following a turn as one of Picasso's numerous lovers in
Surviving Picasso (1996), a lead in the family drama The
Myth of Fingerprints (she would later have a son with
the film's director, Bart Freundlich), and a substantial
part in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Moore nabbed what
was one of the plum roles of her career in Paul Thomas
Anderson's Boogie Nights. For her portrayal of a porn
actress, she won Golden Globe and Academy Award
nominations.
A substantial role as an erotic artist in Ethan Coen's
and Joel Coen's The Big Lebowski followed in 1998, along
with a turn as Marion Crane's sister in Gus Van Sant's
Psycho remake. The next year, Moore starred in a number
of high-profile projects, beginning with Robert Altman's
Cookie's Fortune, in which she was cast as the dim
sister of a decidedly unhinged Glenn Close.
A portrayal of the scheming Mrs. Cheveley followed in
Oliver Parker's An Ideal Husband, with a number of
critics asserting that Moore was the best part of the
movie. The actress then enjoyed another collaboration
with director Anderson in Magnolia, an epic telling of
nine interweaving stories inspired by Short Cuts and
featuring an impressive cast that included Anderson
regulars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Philip Baker Hall, and
John C. Reilly.
The same year, Moore also starred in the drama The End
of the Affair, with Ralph Fiennes and Stephen Rea, and
portrayed a grieving mother in A Map of the World, which
premiered at the 1999 Toronto Film Festival.
2001 found the popular actress stepping into dark
territory with the role of FBI Agent Clarice Starling in
Ridley Scott's Hannibal, the long-awaited and eagerly
anticipated follow-up to Jonathan Demme's numbingly
suspenseful Silence of the Lambs. A few short months
later, Moore lightened the mood substantially with her
humorous turn as a bumbling government scientist in the
sci-fi comedy Evolution.
Increasingly comfortable alternating between big-budget
features and more personal art-house films, Moore bowled
over audiences with a pair of powerhouse performances in
both Far From Heaven and The Hours. A detailed throwback
to the forgotten Hollywood /melodrama, the former
featured Moore's Oscar nominated role as a housewife who
enters into a controversial relationship after
discovering her husband's homosexuality and provided
audiences a dose of Douglas Sirk that hadn't been tasted
since the mid-1950s.
A variation on the themes presented in Virginia Woolf's
Mrs. Dalloway, the film version of Michael Cunningham's
Pulitzer prize winning novel The Hours once again found
Moore Oscar nominated for her role as a repressed 1950s
era housewife, this time taking a special shine to Mrs.
Dalloway while pondering an escape from her stifling
marriage.
In the wake of arguably her most successful year to
date, Moore began to dabble behind the scenes for the
first time, serving as executive producer on the 2003
independent adaptation of Wallace Shawn's play Marie and
Bruce, a film that she also starred in. The following
year, audiences could find Moore onscreen opposite
Pierce Brosnan in the romantic comedy The Laws of
Attraction.
Her film, Freedomland, opened in February 2006 to mixed
reviews. Another film Trust the Man, is directed by her
husband, Bart Freundlich and also features her son
Caleb. In March 2006, it was announced Moore would make
her Broadway debut in the world premiere of David Hare's
new play The Vertical Hour. The play opened in November
2006 and was directed by Sam Mendes.
She'll next star opposite Nicolas Cage and Jessica Biel
in Next, a science fiction action film based on The
Golden Man, a short story by noted author Philip K.
Dick.
Personal life: Moore has been married three
times: first to Sundar Chakravarthy (1983-1985). Then to
John Gould Rubin from May 3, 1986 to August 25, 1995
and, since August 2003, to director Bart
Freundlich.[citation needed] The couple, who have been
together since 1996, have two children: a son, Caleb
Freundlich (born December 4, 1997), and a daughter, Liv
Helen Freundlich (born April 11, 2002). She is a noted
pro-choice activist and during the 2004 U.S. election
donated money to John Kerry's presidential campaign.
