Julianne Moore

Julianne Moore is one actor whose work I admire greatly. She has a wide and varied portfolio and is not afraid of challenging roles. Here’s just a few

The wholesome (?) adult movie star – and caring Mom – in Boogie Nights.
One of the three female leads in the complex and moving The Hours.
The “other woman” in the movie adoption of Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair
The “second wife” in the excellent 3 hour ensemble piece Magnolia

Julianne is very good at the strong female leads. Yet her characters have an inner strength and usually don’t run around ranting, raving and throwing things – and people – around. It’s a tribute to her acting that we can sense the power and control without it being spelled out in big slabs. She’s subtle, refined and very talented.
