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.
