MAIN Art & ... Pop Culture Actresses Julianne Moore

One of Hollywood's most famous redheads, Julianne Moore was born in Fayetteville, NC, on December 3, 1961. Graduating from Boston University, she began her acting career in soap operas, winning an Daytime Emmy Award in 1988 for her performance in As the World Turns.

Her inauspicious film debut came a couple of years later in Tales From the Darkside: The Movie and afterwards Moore survived several made- for-TV movies before taking on increasingly notable film roles in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, the thriller Body of Evidence, and a cameo in the smash hit The Fugitive.

Other notable performances throughout the 90's included starring roles in Nine Months, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and Boogie Nights for which Moore won Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations. In 2001, the actress appeared alongside Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal, and in the following year skyrocketed to fame with two notable performances in Far From Heaven and The Hours both garnering the actress Oscar nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress respectively.

As her Hollywood star continues to rise, Moore has most recently appeared opposite Pierce Brosnan in the romantic comedy The Laws of Attraction and alongside Gary Senise in The Forgotten.
