Early life

Julianne was born as Julie Anne Smith on December 3, 1960, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Her father was a military judge and her mother worked as a psychologist and social worker. Julie spent most of her childhood in Frankfurt am Main, due to her father's occupation. She attended Frankfurt American High school, and, when her family returned to the USA, enrolled at Boston University's Theatre department.

Her acting dreams quickly became reality: right after graduating from university Julie changed her name to Julianne Moore, combining her first name with her grandfather's surname, and started to participate in various Broadway shows, drawing the attention of many Hollywood directors with both her acting ability and distinct appearance.

Acting career

This petite red-headed actress with the makings of a great movie star first appeared on screen in TV series in 1985. The Edge of Night and As the World Turns were her first TV experience, which was so successful that it brought the actress her first award – a Daytime Emmy.

Julianne started to conquer the big screen with her role in the detective movie "B.L. Stryker", followed by secondary roles in Tales from the Darkside: The Movie and The Last to Go. During 1992 Julianne appeared in two more movies, which helped jumpstart the young actress's career and marked the rise of a new movie superstar.

The second 1992 movie that involved Julianne was Body of Evidence, in which actress portrayed a cheated wife of the main hero. Despite the fact that this movie starred such established actors as Willem Dafoe, Joe Mantegna, and Madonna, film critics noted that Julianne Moore looked like an integral part of the movie's cast and performed on par with her famous partners.

The period between 1993 and 2000 became the most important in the actress's development; her roles in Benny and Joon, The Fugitive, and Psycho allowed her to acquire the necessary experience working with professional established actors and brought her even more fame and popularity. Her role in sci-fi thriller The Lost World: Jurassic Park was one of the most serious and influential milestones in Julie's career. Interestingly enough, Steven Spielberg, well-known for his thorough and careful approach in recruiting new talent, picked Moore for the role of Dr. Sarah Harding without any casting at all.

Moore's roles in Magnolia and The End of the Affair only strengthened the actress's position among top Hollywood actors and showcased her own unique style of sensual and intellectual performance on screen and ability to fully translate the finest shades of her character's personality to the viewer.

In 2001 Julianne starred in Ridley Scott's Hannibal based on bestselling Thomas Harris' novels. Her interpretation of Clarice Starling's character was inherently different from that of her predecessor Jodie Foster which allowed the audience to observe all the intricacies of the relationship between genius maniac Hannibal, portrayed by brilliant Anthony Hopkins, and delicate and sensitive woman detective, endowed with unparalleled intuition and unbreakable personality.

Her work on Far from Heaven and The Hours, in which she took main roles, also brought undeniable success to the actress.

Every movie Julianne appeared in became a commercial and critical triumph, receiving multiple awards without a single failure. Savage Grace (2007), Blindness (2008), Chloe (2009), Shelter (2010), and Carrie (2013) are among the films where Julianne Moore showcased her talent for portraying complex and unique characters.

In 2014, Julie—by then already an idol to millions of fans worldwide—received the most prestigious prize any actor can achieve: the Academy Award for her performance in the independent drama Still Alice, where she portrayed linguist Alice Howland battling devastating Alzheimer's disease.

In 2016, Julie teamed up with Ellen Page in the polarizing biographical drama Freeheld. This touching story about tragic love between two women received surprisingly cold reviews, despite addressing important questions about homosexuality and tolerance in modern society.

Filming of the movie's erotic scenes was conducted in a Catholic school, which led to outrage from religious activist communities. Catholic lobby groups opposed the movie's release since the contract between the school and production company failed to mention the sexual nature of the filming scenes. Even though the outrage was successfully quieted, Julianne was completely devastated by the situation. She spoke out in multiple interviews about issues of bigotry and the divisions that label people as acceptable or unacceptable, comparing religious activists to racists.

Julianne Moore paired with Matt Damon in the 2017 thriller Suburbicon. In this highly politicized drama directed by George Clooney and co-written by the Coen brothers, the actress portrays two sisters who lived different lives—one getting everything she wanted while the other had nothing.

At the beginning of 2018, one of the most anticipated films of the year was Bel Canto, starring Julianne Moore as an opera singer. The film, based on a true story, was considered a commercial and critical success, earning many awards and nominations.

Personal life

In 1986, Julianne married actor Gould Rubin. Their marriage lasted nearly 10 years before ending in a messy divorce filled with disputes over property division.
The actress considers her second marriage a success and seems genuinely happy in the relationship, calling it the best thing that ever happened to her. Her husband, Bart Freundlich—a renowned director and screenwriter—is 10 years younger than Julianne. They officially married in 2003 and have two children: son Caleb and daughter Liv.
