Julianne Moore Wiki Biography

Julianne Moore nowadays is best known to a wide audience as a great British-American actress and a children’s book writer who has estimated net worth as high as $40 million. Moore is considered to be a great actress thanks to movies which helped her to rise to fame during her career, such as “Boogie Nights” released in 1997, “The End of the Affair” released in year 1999, “Far from Heaven” and “The Hours” both released in year 2002. Today Julianne is considered to be one of the richest stars and business persons in the show-business world, so many people are interested in how rich Julianne Moore is.

Julianne Moore was born as Julia Anne Smith on December 3, 1960, in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, United States. She began her career in 1983, but these several minor roles didn’t increase Julianne’s net worth until a chance to participate in the soap opera “As The World Turns” appeared. This series won the Daytime Emmy Award, and that was the first really serious investment in Moore’s net worth. The next breakthrough performance J. A. Smith performed was much later, in 1997, when she played Maggie in “Amber Waves”, the American drama film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Since then many other notable appearances have been made by Julianne, and which have increased her net worth, such as “An Ideal Husband”, “The Hours”, “Game Change”, “The End of the Affair” and “A Single Man”.

The first award as a great actress which Julianne received was in 1988 for her performance in “As the World Turns”, from Daytime Emmy Award, and from then until 2002 she was nominated for many different awards for different movies she appeared in, but she won only a Volpi Cup for Best Actress thanks to the movie entitled “Far from Heaven” directed by Todd Haynes. However, during the period of time since then, Moore started to build-up her net worth, as she was nominated for a BAFTA Award, Primetime Emmy Award, Golden Globe Award and many others.

Talking about her personal and private life, Moore’s first husband was the actor John Gould Rubin, but the couple divorced in 1995. Then Moore started dating with the famous Bart Freundlich and they even had two children, Caleb and Liv. However, the couple married only in 2003, after the birth of both kids.

Together with her happy family Julianne Moore lives in New York City Garden in West Village, NY – an amazing building with  Gothic architecture, a great garden with numerous types of flowers and both classical and trendy furniture. Moreover, she also owns a New York Pad which was valued at $12.5 million, but it isn’t a really huge sum for Julianne Moore’s net worth. This house is equipped with 6 bedrooms, large and airy living room and a beautiful garden. Today Julianne can happily live there together with her family and enjoy the popularity which she has fairly received for her numerous works in different movies as one of the greatest actresses in our century.

Julianne Moore Quotes

• Before I met my husband, I always felt as if the party was happening somewhere else. Once I met him and we had our children, I was like ‘This is where the party is.'”
• I read an article that said that winning an Oscar could lead to living five years longer. If that’s true, I’d really like to thank the Academy because my husband is younger than me.
• I panic more on stage. I really have a lot of stage fright. I get really shaky and it’s not fun for me. But in movies, I don’t. I had a therapist say to me once, “You know, a feeling can’t kill you.” And it can’t. What I’m really afraid of is skiing, and going fast, and people knocking me down, and maybe breaking my teeth. Those are the things that frighten me. But being on a movie set with a lot of really terrific actors and having some great language and the director… Even if you do fail, what could happen?
• [on playing Little Red-Haired Girl in sixth grade] I sat on the stage and ate a sandwich while Charlie Brown talked about me. I was so scared. I didn’t get any pleasure out of that.
• I always hate to be divisive about gender or sexuality or race or anything like that. I feel like sometimes, even with the best of intentions, when we put ourselves into boxes, it ends up being a less universal thing. But I will say that I’ve always worked with filmmakers who are interested in very human not so much plot driven stories, more kind of character and emotionally driven. A lot of gay filmmakers fall into that category.
• Lisa Cholodenko’s movies are about relationships. There’s never an event in her films. It’s all about how people connect and communicate. And what they’re trying to elicit from each other and how they love each other. It’s the kind of film I respond to the most because it’s about human behavior.
• [on portraying Sarah Palin in Game Change (2012)] It’s daunting to play somebody who is not only a living figure, but a hugely well-known one, and it’s my responsibility as an actor to be as accurate as possible. In all the research I did, this was a person who was clearly not prepared. We have her displaying moments of sheer brilliance. At her unveiling at the national convention, I think the whole country took a collective gasp, like, “Who is she? Where did she come from?” She was so incredibly charismatic, so unbelievably able to communicate, and a true patriot. Of course, on further examination, she didn’t necessarily have the experience necessary to lead our country, either as Vice President or, potentially, President. That’s what we tried to dramatize.
• I had a very wonderful teacher in Frankfurt, my English teacher, she was the drama coach and she said, “You could do this for a living.” And it hadn’t occurred to me, I didn’t know anybody who did, I didn’t know any actors, I’d never been to a real play, only school plays. So, she handled me a copy of Dramatics magazine and said, “These are schools that you can apply to”, and I came home and told my parents I was going to be an actress.
• [on uncharacteristically playing a comic role in Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)] The older you get, the less alluring tragedy becomes. I think it’s very easy, when you’re 23, to see everything dark and tragic, but as you get older and see what people go through you realize people want to laugh.
• Like all parents, we both have our strengths and our weaknesses. I’ll tend to be, “Yeah, sure, you can have that gum”. I’m easy with candy. I feel like, “Ugh, it’s not going to kill you”.
• If there’s something that you haven’t done that you’ve been waiting to do, the by all means, don’t wait any longer. Do it!
• [on giving fearless performances] I always say that to be fearless you actually have to be afraid. And acting is not something that scares me.It’s something I enjoy.
• [Interview with Miranda Crowell, September 2007]: My husband and I are very fortunate, because we have flexible jobs. If you talk to parents, that’s what they’re trying to do – have as much flexibility as possible.
• [on playing Charlotte in A Single Man (2009)] No, I wasn’t thinking about Ann-Margret [in Carnal Knowledge (1971)]. A lot of the character began with a particular vocal choice: she’s someone who is very wealthy, very educated and kind of a party girl. There’s this way of speaking among these women where you don’t know whether they’re posh or hammered all the time. So, that’s where I started. Then I listened to very early Julie Christie, to get the early-’60s kind of sound, and then I listened to some very modern British party girls. That’s how I came up with Charly’s sloppy sound.
• [on meeting designer Tom Ford] I met him in 1998, right after my son was born. Tom made a dress for me for the Oscars, the first time I was nominated, for Boogie Nights (1997). In that movie, I played Amber Waves, a porno actress. Tom was unbelievably charming and handsome and normal, not scary, which surprised me because he was one of the first designers I’d ever met. He made me a really beautiful black chiffon dress that kind of had an empire waist. Because I’d just had a baby, my boobs were really big. I didn’t feel confident enough to wear it. But Tom was incredibly gracious. He said, “I don’t care – wear it, don’t wear it, it’s just a dress”. And that was the beginning of my friendship with Tom.
• The script [for Boogie Nights (1997)] is primarily about love and loss and human connection, and although Tom reveals himself very slowly, what he reveals is very genuine.
• I always find that aspect of a character important. But, you can’t say, “Ooh – I like that Cristóbal Balenciaga dress and I’m going to wear it.” You have to wear something that the character has access to. People tell stories about themselves with their clothing, their hair, with the way they move and the way they present themselves. I learned that when I was young. I was always on the lookout for clues. And there are a lot of clues in how people dress.
• [on growing up as an Army brat] . . . that life teaches you that behavior is not concrete. A lot of people think that how you behave is a given or that behavior is character. When you move around a lot, you learn that behavior is mutable. I would change, depending on where I was. I would go to one school and everyone would dance one way and, then, at a new school, you’d notice that no one picked up their feet when they danced. You’re like, OK, I’ll shuffle my feet like them. You learn that there’s no one way to dance or be. For some reason, a lot of actors come from these peripatetic backgrounds – army kids, missionary kids, kids of salesmen. It teaches you to watch, to reinvent, that character can change.
• [on growing up with dreams of an acting career] I thought I was going to be a stage actress. One of the pathetic, secret parts of my personality is I love musical theater. I did that in high school but not very well. Even now, I love musicals: Hairspray (1988) is genius. But I think people think of me as a bore, you know. A tragic bore. Dark is not something I am, but from the beginning people assumed my métier was tragedy. When I started out, I was cast on a soap opera, As the World Turns (1956), as a quintessential good girl. I did that for a while and then they created the role of my evil, selfish half-sister/cousin. I played that, too. They immediately thought of me as dark.
• My very first director told me that if you have red hair, somebody is casting you for a reason. He said, “There will be parts that you don’t get because, especially onstage, people can see you.” I’ve been wigged plenty of times, but the funny thing is that even when I have a different hair color, people tend to still remember me as having red hair.
• My children don’t watch my movies. First of all, they’re not interested and, secondly, my movies are not for children. As an actor, you’re trying to portray the human condition and sometimes we don’t wear clothes. I made a movie called Chloe (2009) and there’s a great deal of sexual material in it. The director, Atom Egoyan said, “You know, people do this. And when they do it, they’re usually nude.”
• Women in their late 30s or early 40s talk about how they’re not middle-aged. And I just think, “How long are you expecting to live?” They’re in the middle. If you’re lucky you get to live to your 80s; if you’re unlucky, like my mother, you don’t.
• [on living in Los Angeles in the early 1990s] For me, it was hard to be that close to the business, like being in a steel mill town. Some people like the lifestyle. But I’m someone who doesn’t respond well to that kind of pressure.
• My friends make jokes that I won’t go see something if there’s only men in it because I don’t know who to look at. Like big war films. I don’t have a way in here. Let me in. Give me a woman to look at so I can enter the story. So I think you want to represent other women and give them access to tell their stories.
• [on the death of her mother in 2009] She’s gone. So that’s hard. It’s just one of those things. She was only 68. It was not fair. It has been really, really, tremendously difficult. It was completely sudden and unexpected and she was a month away from retirement. It was an infection and then an embolism. My mother got sick and she died the next morning. And I was on a plane on my way there when she passed away. It was really awful. We all miss her. It’s been very bad. It’s the thing about loss, and you see it in this movie [A Single Man (2009)], too, that unfortunately this is what happens. None of us is spared.
• [on feeling invisible] It started when I was a kid. I moved frequently because my dad was in the army so I was always new in school. I think if you’ve ever done that, you know what it means to not matter in a room. I think it’s a good experience for everyone to have, to feel like they’re not noticed, because it teaches you to be empathetic.
• My family life is incredibly important to me. I want to be with them as much as I can. I try to work in New York, or I work in the summer time when my family can come with me. The days of me doing a big film where I need to be away for months during the school year are over. It doesn’t seem to affect the roles I get. That’s the reality of my life so I don’t think about it too much.”
• What did [Gustave Flaubert] say? “Be ordinary in your life so that you can be violent and original in your work!” I believe that.
• … If I have a hesitation on reading, I don’t commit. I respond to the material or not. I like story. That’s what I’m attracted to even more than character. It’s no fun if it’s a great character but not a good story.
• I try to make my characters as specific as I can.
• The great disappointment is that when you’re acting, you’ve literally become a different person in your head, and when you see it you go, Oh! It’s the same face! You feel sometimes so limited by your physiognomy. You are desperately trying to look different, but it doesn’t always work. There are some things that you can change, but unfortunately you’re always left with the same face.
• There’s always a female audience. But we will only go if they make movies for us because we’re just too busy. It makes me crazy when people ask why women don’t go to the movies. Number one, there are no movies for us and, number two, we have jobs and families. I never get out of the house with two little kids. If I go, I want to know it really is something for me. I want it to be relevant to me.
• When someone says, “I’m not political”, I feel like what they’re saying is, “I only care about myself. In my bathtub. Me and my bathtub is what I care about”.
• My parents were very liberal. That’s a misconception about the military. I’m a proud army brat. I love the military. It breaks my heart what this war [the Iraq war] has done to it. These back-door, draftlike returns of soldiers to the front – you don’t do that. You don’t send a soldier back three or four times. That’s not OK.
• That’s the beauty of what actors do, that you only have yourself as a resource. And so the trick is to find something in them that you connect to somewhere. And with every single one of my characters, I have to find something that I really understand and ultimately believe.
• It’s true, the classic, iconic American ideal, that heroine, our idea of perfection is this blonde woman in a blue dress and a blue car.
• I hesitate to call things companion pieces or to draw comparison between films because I think you reduce the films by doing that.
• [about the birth of her son, Caleb Freundlich, and being a mother] It is the most wonderful experience of your life. It deepens absolutely everything. You have a greater understanding of things, so in a way it is a gift. For me it has made everything much better. I’m so happy; I am extremely fortunate.
• [October 2000, about her views on abortion and reproductive rights] Now that the FDA has legalized RU-486, it makes us feel that politically the winds are blowing our way. But, if someone has a problem with reproductive freedom, I won’t even consider voting for them. George W. Bush is anti-choice, and I really believe that should he be elected, we will end up in a really difficult situation.
• I’m looking for the truth. The audience doesn’t come to see you, they come to see themselves.
• [on losing the 2000 Best Actress Oscar] Only five people got nominated in that category, and that’s not very many people. So I did all right.
• [what life was like for her as a child] I was a goody-goody. I was one of those kids who played by the rules. I used to have to take people to the principal’s office. Isn’t that awful?
• [referring to her broken toe while at the GLAAD Media Awards, in regards to executives at Paramount Pictures who were putting together a TV show for Laura Schlessinger, a right-wing radio talk-show host who has angered the gay community with her sometimes rabidly negative comments about homosexuality] I wish I could say I broke this kicking down the door at Paramount, but I was running after my son.
• In grade school I was a complete geek. You know, there’s always the kid who’s too short, the one who wears glasses, the kid who’s not athletic. Well, I was all three.
• You never have sex the way people do in the movies. You don’t do it on the floor, you don’t do it standing up, you don’t always have all your clothes off, you don’t happen to have on all the sexy lingerie. You know, if anybody ever ripped my clothes, I’d kill them.
