Julianne Moore was born on December 3, 1960 in North Carolina. Since her father was in the military she moved around a lot when growing up. She got her bachelor’s degree at the College of Fine Arts in Drama. She started out playing small roles and finally landed a role in the soap opera As the World Turns where she played twin sisters. She started appearing in movies and played in some succesfull movies like The Fugutive, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Boogie Nights, The Big Lebowski and Magnolia. She received a lot of awards for her role in movie Far from Heaven. She currently has 69 credits on her name on IMDB.
My favorite role is probably one I saw recently in Game Change, in which she completely disappeared portraying Sarah Palin. I also loved her in the movie The Forgotten.
What’s your favorite Julianne Moore role?
She looks crazy good in that Game Change! I’m not really a fan but she’s an excellent actress. Cheers.
Yeah, she was amazing in Game Change and looked the part.
One of, if not my overall favourite actress out there. Her work with Todd Haynes – films like Far From Heaven and Safe – are amazing acheivments. Good choice.
Great to hear you like her so much. There a lot of movies of hers I have not seen yet…
Love her in everything she does. Looking forward to seeing Game Change. My favourites are probably not really for her performances but just because I love the movies: Children of Men, Bookie Nights, Crazy Stupid Love, The Hours. But there’s too many to mention. She really is great in everything. I need to see Far From Heaven.
You really should; it’s a feature film version of Mad Men from before purposefully paced period dramas were cool.
Yeah, she really is great in everything she does. Excellent choice of movies!
She is amazing, a timeless face and a great actor. Thanks for this one Nostra!
You’re welcome Scott!
I certainly don’t doubt Julianne Moore’s acting skills, but she is an actress that I have never been a big fan of.
There are always actresses some people love and others don’t really like. I have a couple of them as well 🙂
Reblogged this on Mr Kabue James.
Thanks for the reblog
She’s really an amazing actress, loved her performance in Game Change but my favorite is probably her heartbreaking Laura in The Hours.
It’s mentioned a couple of times, I really should watch it!
She definitely has the talent and she has put in a few great performances during her career. However, she hasn’t really found THE great role out there that could see her winning awards. So far, my favorite role of hers was playing the troubled wife of a dying multimillionaire in Magnolia. My favorite film that she has been a part of is Children of Men.
PS…it’s interesting to see the evolution of her hairstyle over the years. Time has treated her very well.
Yeah, it seems she stays a bit below the radar of most people naming great actresses, but I think she is.
I’ve got a soft spot for Maude Lebowski
That is a very unique role
I’d probably have to say her best role is Amber Waves from Boogie Nights. Somehow she manages to deliver a sexy performance without undermining the character’s maternal desires/instincts.
It’s been way too long since I saw that, so I can’t remember much of it…
She’s one of those rare actress in Hollywood, gorgeous AND talented.
Totally agree with you Ruth!
I liked her in The Forgotten
Nice to hear someone else liked her in that. I always wonder how many people have seen it as it seems to be a movie which isn’t mentioned much. I’ve seen it multiple times and think it is amazing.
