Miss Moore

Nobody does women on the verge of a nervous breakdown quite like Julianne Moore. But away from the cameras, the four-time oscar-nominated movie queen couldn't be more in control. She takes Matt Mueller on a tour of her neighbourhood and talks OCD, buying dog beds and how to deal with difficult directors: "fuck 'em..."

Julianne Moore wants to meet at her favourite café. It's a tiny place with a green concrete floor, a couple of doors down from her townhouse in the heart of New York's West Village. When I arrive with 10 minutes to spare, the spiky-haired student behind the counter has been forewarned and asks if I want to put in Miss Moore's usual order. "She always has the scrambled eggs," he assures me, with a smile. Sure enough, when Moore arrives at 11 on the dot ("Hi, I'm Julie." Firm handshake), she orders scrambled eggs with spinach and cheerfully insists on a blueberry muffin for each of us. "They're so-o-o good," she beams.

The temperature outside is already in the 80s and Moore is dressed for comfort, not to impress, in Birkenstocks, jeans and a white cotton smock. The Chloé sunglasses perched on her spectacular auburn hair - worn shoulder-length, no fringe - are her only obvious nod to a label. It's a look that doesn't scream for attention, but the café is packed to the gills with well-groomed Village people and, as I plonk my tape-recorder down between us, several heads inevitably turn. Moore hides behind her hand. It's almost an awkward moment. But she's joking: as she explains all the time to her two children by film-maker husband Bart Freundlich - Caleb, 10, and Liv, 6 - when they see her face on a magazine: "I'm on the cover because it's part of my job."

First things first: she's got a frantic day so would I mind accompanying her after breakfast to pick up a dog bed for the new beach house in Montauk, Long Island? "I'm trying to pack everything in! Is that okay?" she says. It's a rhetorical question, but put very sweetly. "My babysitter's sick and it's the last week of school for my kids so they have concert things, singalongs, today there's a pot luck - it's all nutty."

Moore's schedule is certainly packed. This summer she has two films out in as many months: Savage Grace and Blindness. The latter is an allegorical tale about a city struck by a plague of sightlessness. Moore's character plays god in a quarantined community: "My character's no saint. There's a moment in the movie where I really get to scream at people unnecessarily and I really loved doing it!" In Savage Grace, she plays the narcissistic, neurotic Barbara Baekeland; a real-life socialite who blundered through jet-set circles with her ruined son Tony in tow, before they started having sex and he finally flipped and stabbed her to death. One of the film's most shocking moments has Moore straddle her on-screen son with a thrillingly casual insouciance that immediately reminds you why she has been a magnet for a string of world-class film-makers over the past 15 years. "People ask all the time if sex scenes and nudity are hard," she laughs good-naturedly. "What's hard? Not the lines or the physicality, but the emotion."

On screen Moore is the unrivalled queen of exposing hairline cracks in fragile, ethereal façades (she is often better than Streep, who signposts every shift; and always better than Kidman, whose alabaster face increasingly has an eerie, frozen quality). Magnolia's suicidal trophy wife; Amber Waves, Boogie Nights' caring porn star; The Hours' tortured housefrau; the Stepford Wife whose life is shattered by forbidden love in Far From Heaven.

With so many troubled souls on one CV it almost comes as a surprise to discover that there's not a whiff of tragedy about Moore in person. On the contrary, an audience with the actress is in a strange way a bit like having a glass of sherry with your headmistress on your very last day of school. At one point she admonishes me for tearing the plastic tag off a water bottle with my teeth: "Don't use your teeth, that's terrible! Think how bad you'd feel if you chipped your tooth!" She is friendly to a fault, charming; open, even. But there are clear barriers. When I ask whether director Fernando Meirelles wanted to meet up before casting her in Blindness, Moore smiles faintly and doesn't immediately answer. Message: she's way beyond that. "I just got the offer," she explains. "Every once in a while somebody wants to meet you but, at this point, they kind of know your work..." You've proved yourself? "Who knows? Yeah. I don't know but... yeah. Should we go get the dog bed? Let's go get the dog bed!"

Out in the street, Moore is slipping on her shades when we bump into her husband. "Have you met my wife?" Freundlich asks me with a grin. The director, it transpires, is shooting a film on the very next street and has brought one of the child actors for a quick tour round Moore-Freundlich Towers. "I've seen you in dailies and you're really good," coos Moore to the tousle-haired boy. "How old are you?" "Um... seven." "Me too! What a coincidence! We're going to buy a dog bed." "Sweet!" says Freundlich. "I know, I'm taking care of business." After a quick spousal peck, Freundlich and the boy disappear through the townhouse door, which is painted the colour of arterial blood.

Moore met Freundlich, who is 10 years her junior, when he cast her in his 1997 dysfunctional-family drama The Myth Of Fingerprints. They married five years ago, but he still doesn't understand her unwavering attraction to dark materials. "He thinks I'm weird," Moore says. "There was a script I read recently where I was like, 'Oooh, this horrible thing happens and it's really good and then they're all dead!' He's like, 'What is the matter with you?' I'm like, 'I don't know but I like it.' I've always liked things that are meant to terrify. When I was a kid, I used to watch this vampire soap opera, Dark Shadows. I loved that show... and I was little! I can remember my sister going into the other room to fold laundry with my mother because she was so frightened. I guess it has translated into the material I want to do as an adult."

As much as she likes it sinister and unsettling on screen, in real life Moore prefers things bright and cosy. On our way to Zoomies, the pompous pet shop on nearby Hudson Street, the actress enthuses about her neighbourhood's "friendly, small-town vibe". In the shop the French owner tries to get Moore to "go crazy" with the colour of the dog bed. "No, same colour as the one we have," says Moore, without hesitation. The owner then asks after Moore's mother. This clearly makes a big impression. Back out on the street, we walk past the iron railings that for Moore clearly represent a white picket fence: "I swear to god it's like living in a small town," she raves. "Like, did you hear her? 'Say hi to your mother!' It's great! I mean, I was in there with my mom but it was a while ago!"

Born Julie Anne Smith in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Moore's father was a US military court judge who dragged the family through 23 moves. The nomadic life, she has said, made her "adaptable but needy, flexible but neurotic". Apart from the constant uprooting, she says her family life was a happy one. "People have this impression of growing up in the military as being disciplinary and dysfunctional, like the family in The Great Santini," she says. "Not at all." But while Moore insists hers was not the clichéd army childhood of Robert Duvall's Marine offspring - locker inspections and lights out at eight - something of the controlled environment did affect the adult Julie. Back in the early 90s, when Moore was just another struggling actress doing television and bit parts in movies like The Hand That Rocked The Cradle, she abided by what she calls "the lucky way". She'd leave her apartment at exactly the same time every day and follow exactly the same route to work, adjusting her walking speed where necessary so she never had to stop at a light to cross a road. "I finally abandoned it because I just didn't have time any more," she laughs, shrugging off my suggestion that she might have been suffering from an ocd. "I was the oldest child and I was always organised and responsible and I still am," she smiles. "If I say, 'I'll be there on time', I'll be there. If I say, 'I'll do it', I'll do it. I'm not one of those people who say, 'Yeah, I'm a flake.' I'm not flaky. I'm really responsible!"

Moore has even less time for grown-up rebels: "If you're rebelling in your personal life after a certain age, you've got a fucking problem. It's like, 'Just fucking figure it out - you're in charge.' It makes me crazy when people say, 'I don't want to do this anymore!' I'm like, 'Well then don't.' People behave like there's some great parent out there and there's not, there's just you. You are responsible for your own actions. There's a tremendous amount of freedom in that. I'd sometimes be in a place where I'd think, 'It's horrible here.' Then I'd think, 'Wow, you can move - you can change'."

Dog bed mission successfully completed and midday sun beating down hard, Moore and her milky, freckled complexion need to find a shady spot - "I can't stay out in the sun, it makes me crazy". She settles on Riverside Park. It's a gorgeous day and there are plenty of people about, but no one bothers Moore or even seems to recognise her. "I don't think that I'm terribly famous," she muses. "My son doesn't perceive me as being terribly famous. He thinks of Will Ferrell as being famous. Yes he sees people take my picture and ask for autographs, but it's a pretty low-key thing in our life."

Cinematically, she didn't make her mark until she was in her early thirties, when Robert Altman offered her the part of a tormented artist in 1993's Short Cuts. It changed everything. Moore famously delivered an eviscerating monologue to husband Matthew Modine whilst naked from the waist down. Moore still doesn't understand all the fuss. "Bob [Altman] told me the part was controversial," she says. "But I really didn't think there would be any issue and then there was this tremendous outpouring, like, 'Why did you do this?' I was like, 'What's the big deal?' It was not at all salacious, not even sexual. I don't know if it's because at the time I was unknown but there was a period where no one could talk about anything else. Which was dumb."

Short Cuts put Moore firmly on the independent film radar and, in the early days, she pushed herself hard. In 1995 she shed 10lbs from her already slight frame to play the super-allergic, alien-like housewife in Safe, convincing director Todd Haynes that she was actually anorexic. Now she wouldn't go as far, although she did dye her hair blonde for Blindness - the first time in her career she hasn't opted for a wig. "I thought, 'This'll be fun,' but I hated it!" she blurts. "I was bizarrely visible - people would yell at me as if there was a light shining on my head. The minute I wrapped, I came home and dyed it back to red. I was more strongly identified with my hair colour than I thought."

These days, Moore will only accept roles that she can squeeze into the school summer holidays or films that shoot within commuting distance from New York. But even time limits haven't improved her taste in studio pap. She may just be a victim of Hollywood's lack of vision regarding its female stars, but Moore has chosen some forgettable piffle for her big-budget outings. Nine Months, Evolution and Laws Of Attraction were surely just nice little earners until she could make her next arthouse impact? "I do them all for me," she insists. "I like them all! I did Hannibal and The Lost World as much for me as them."

Because of the indelible marks she's left on independent cinema, more is often expected of Moore and she admits that, in the past, her confidence has been trampled by bad reviews. "Oh hell, yeah! Tremendously. A good one can make you feel terrific, but a bad one..." She says she can't recall any that have stood out. I have one to hand, however, and read her a quote from The New York Times' bashing of her 2004 thriller The Forgotten - not, in fact, the worst blot on Moore's career, but boasting a performance that, according to the critic, "has all the emotional commitment of a bored kid playing with a light switch".

It turns out Moore remembers the review: "It was like she was disappointed that I'd taken the movie! And I wanted to say, 'Why do you care? What's it to you?' My mother told me to read the review! She called and said, 'It said so many nice things about you.' I said, 'Mom, you have to read it more thoroughly. It's pretty mean!'... As much as we try not to be controlled by praise and criticism, it's very easy to be undone by both."

Would she ever admit to losing her way with a role? Moore ponders for a moment, then says, "There's an unconsciousness to the way I work which I like, but sometimes I feel like if I were more conscious, I'd be better. I'm always trying to get to a place emotionally where something can happen to me on camera. Sometimes it can be great and sometimes it's just not gonna happen. But there's always a point near the end of a film where I'm like, 'Shit! I should have worked harder and maybe I would be better!'"

Whatever anxieties she might be feeling on the inside, Moore doesn't like to discuss them with her directors. In fact her favourite kind of director is one who doesn't talk very much. "My thing is I have an idea about what I want to do and it's in my head and their words are just going to set me off the wrong way. When somebody starts throwing all their words in your head, you're like, 'Whoa, that's your idea!' I've been known to tell directors, 'That's enough, no more talking.' I like to feel that we're partners and if they want something that I'm not doing, I'm going to try very hard to do what they want, but I'm also going to be like, 'Well, why do you want that when I think it should be this?'" And what happens when they're not her partner? "Then fuck 'em."

Later, as we move to another picnic table, Moore is musing about what frightens her when a teenager tries - and spectacularly fails - to do a back flip on the grass in front of us. "I have very little apprehension about doing things in a movie but I would never attempt a back flip like she just did!" she laughs uproariously. "I'm terrified of that stuff!" On New Year's Day she had to drive a snowmobile into a Wyoming park with her son clinging onto the back. "I was terrified and my husband was like, 'Are you alright? Are you alright?' It was horrible! You're only being brave if you're afraid to do something. But I don't have any fear in acting. I never scare myself. Diving? That's scary. Snowmobiles? Are scary. But doing an emotional scene? I don't have any fear. I love it! It's fun. Bring it on..."

Our time nearly up, Moore asks politely if we can start walking back towards her brownstone ("Sorry, I have one of those days..."), offering a tour-guide commentary along the way. "Lou Reed lives there... Julian Schnabel lives here... This is supposed to be a new, hip bar. I've not been there because I don't go to new, hip bars." In minutes, we are back where we started. A friendly smile. A cordial handshake. No false intimacies. A job well done. And she disappears behind the blood-red door.

Moore than Meets the Eye

What's it like to kiss David Duchovny while your husband watches? GOTHAM walks and talks with actress JULIANNE MOORE to ask her about that, raising kids in the city, her upcoming film CHILDREN OF MEN, and ... oh,never mind, we had you at "Kiss David Duchovny", didn't we?

Next time you’re walking your dog, pay careful attention to the other pups on the prowl—one of them may be leashed to Julianne Moore. The Oscar-nominated actress and West Village resident regularly pounds the pavement with her six-month-old terrier/yellow lab mix, Cherry, periodically stopping to coo over other pooches, politely asking owners their dogs’ names, ages, and breeds. Some do a double-take, others barely bat an eye. But that’s New York for you—and that’s exactly why Moore loves the city so much.

“New Yorkers are rarely intrusive,” she says. “It’s the one place in the world where you have anonymity and community at the same time.” That’s an important dichotomy for a celebrity of Moore’s caliber. With her unmistakable mane of fiery red hair and stunning beauty, it would take incredible effort for her to go incognito—so she doesn’t even try, and it seems to work fine. She says people are generally indifferent toward her, or, if they’re curious, they approach politely. “If people want to talk to me, they just say something like, ‘Hey, can I talk to you?’ or, ‘You’re that person from such-and-such,’” Moore tells us. “But it’s rare.”

Moore has two children—Caleb, nine, and Liv, four—with her husband, director Bart Freundlich; and when it comes to the kids, it’s the community aspect of New York that’s most appealing. About country living she says, “It sounds like a nice concept, opening your door to a big backyard for your kids to play in—but what are they really going to do? Here, we just go to the playground and all their friends from school are right there.”

Freundlich, who’s nine years Moore’s junior (a fact she’s waved off in the press as inconsequential), has directed her in three films, The Myth of Fingerprints, World Traveler, and the sophisticated comedy Trust the Man (now playing in NYC, and opening nationwide on September 8), which he also wrote.

“Bart actually went to someone else first [to star in the film],” Moore explains. “That person said no, so I was like, ‘Look I’d really like to do this.’” And the part was hers.

Prior to casting Moore in the picture, in the role of an actress whose stay-at-home husband is starting to feel sexually ignored by his wife, Freundlich had already snagged Duchovny to play the spouse—a role he’d actually written with the former X-Files actor in mind. Freundlich knew Duchovny through Moore, who played his onscreen paramour in Evolution in 2001, and has since built a strong friendship with him. In fact, Billy Crudup, Ellen Barkin, James LeGros, and Eva Mendes—the other talented cast members of Trust the Man—were also friends of the couple’s before filming began. And since the movie was set entirely in New York, often using locations where Moore, Freundlich, and their friends are regulars, the overall vibe of the shoot felt more like play than work, according to Moore.

That is, until things got physical.

“The last thing in the world I want to do is kiss anybody who isn’t my husband—and especially not in front of him,” Moore says of the intimate scenes she had to do with Duchovny. “I mean, all these guys are really handsome, but it’s never any picnic.”

Moore’s had plenty of dreamy costars in her 20 years of acting—Hugh Grant (Nine Months), Antonio Banderas (Assassins), Jeff Goldblum (The Lost World: Jurassic Park), and Mark Wahlberg (Boogie Nights)—and plenty of success. Her career boasts four Oscar nominations, including best actress nods for her work in Far From Heaven and The End of the Affair, and best supporting actress nominations for Boogie Nights and The Hours. What’s more, the Far From Heaven and The Hours noms both came in 2003, making Moore one of only 10 actors ever to receive double acting nominations in the same year.

Next up for Moore is a stint on Broadway, starring in the Sam Mendes-directed play The Vertical Hour (opening in November), in which she plays a young American war reporter turned Yale professor, who crosses paths with an Englishman who changes her views on life and love. In December, we’ll watch her on the big screen in Children of Men, a blockbuster thriller starring Clive Owen. Directed by Alfonso Cuarón (who also helmed Harry Potter, the Prisoner of Azkaban and Y Tu Mamá También), Children of Men envisions a violent and desolate London one generation in the future, when the world’s youngest citizen has died at 18, and mankind is on the verge of extinction. Amid the anarchy, a woman miraculously becomes pregnant—the first conception in almost two decades—and it’s up to Owen’s character to protect her and, consequently, save the world. “It’s a somewhat dark story to tell,” says Moore, who plays an underground activist who teams up with Owen. “But it’s also illuminated, in the end, with hope.”

Moore’s careful selection of roles reflects her know-how as a veteran in the industry. Interestingly, she didn’t really hit her stride as an actress until she was in her 30s. So, does she ever find herself wondering what it would have been like if she’d seen greater success at a younger age?

“Absolutely not,” she says. “The thing that I’ve always liked about my career is that it’s been cumulative. There wasn’t a point where it was like, Bingo, I’m famous! After college I was only out of work for about six months, then I started in theater, then some television jobs came along, then some other things…. I didn’t really do a feature until I was 29. So by the time my career ostensibly ‘took off,’ I was in my early 30s. I think the worst thing in the world for an actor is really early success, because it’s hard to top it. If you come out of drama school and you’re a movie star, then where do you go? But when it happens when you’re 40….” Moore’s voice trails off into a laugh, presumably at herself. I laugh, too, but I’m thinking of a couple of present-day actresses who’ve peaked at 20.

Up-and-comers who’d also like to age as gracefully as Moore has should probably scratch “endless gin and tonics” and “late nights at Bungalow 8” off their to-do lists. Signed as a Revlon spokesperson in 2001 at the age of 41 (for a campaign that also features her Trust the Man costar Eva Mendes), Moore says she’s still surprised by Revlon’s interest in her. “It just seemed to come out of left field—but, of course, I was flattered!”

Her flawless complexion is the perfect complement to all the couture Moore gets to wear as she marches down red carpet after red carpet. Her favorite designers include Marni, Chloé, Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, and Balenciaga, but she’s open to most anything that can be counted as “intellectual fashion.”

“I’m so tired of the lady, lady, lady stuff—little jackets and skirts and high, high heels—I never understood any of that. Where the hell are you going? I don’t know anybody who lives that life.” As for her awards-ceremony wear, she says, “I like stuff that’s fairly simple. I don’t wear a tremendous amount of color, and I don’t like stuff that’s too tight. The cut, the way something is shaped, is more important than anything.” And when it comes to the dog park, the wardrobe is simpler still. “Just like what I have on now—a pair of shorts, a Juicy shirt, and a pair of Birkenstocks.”

Despite Moore’s beauty, fame, and accolades, it’s her personality that shines brightest. My favorite part of our interview (though probably not hers) was when Cherry the pup unexpectedly squatted in the middle of the sidewalk and Moore realized she’d forgotten a baggy. Armed with a sheet of paper I tore from my notebook, she scooped the poop and tossed it into the proper receptacle with a giggle. Other, lesser celebrities have “people” for jobs like this.

Moore makes it impossible to not be a fan.

Working mom : Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4

Working mom
Julianne Moore continues to balance two very busy lives
Sunday, August 20, 2006

A drug-addled porn star fighting desperately to regain visitation rights with her children. A '50s suburban wife who risks everything for a tender affair with her black gardener. A shabbily dressed woman who stumbles into a Jersey hospital, babbling about a carjacking and a missing child.

A sex star, a white-gloved matron, a working-class casualty. What's the connection?

If you guessed, correctly, that they've all been played by Julianne Moore -- in "Boogie Nights," "Far From Heaven" and "Freedomland" -- then the actress will be very flattered.

If you said, however, only that they're all mothers -- then the 45-year-old redhead, gracious as she normally is, may find it difficult to keep her annoyance in check.

"I had a female journalist once ask me, 'Gosh, so what about all these mothers you play, what makes them different?'" Moore recalls, relaxing in a Manhattan hotel suite. "And I got really upset. I said 'Wow. Wow.' I mean, almost everybody I know now has children, but the people are all different -- they're actors, lawyers, writers. They're all individuals. It's kind of shocking that that's what they get summed up as."

Moore, who has two children with her husband, director Bart Freundlich, plays a mother in their new romantic comedy together, "Trust the Man." But her character is also an actress, struggling with a new challenge. And a wife, worried about a straying husband. And a trusted confidante, involved in a girlfriend's troubles.

And it bothers Moore that those sides of fictional characters -- and real women -- are sometimes ignored.

Moore has never limited herself. As an actress she's done soap operas and theater, worked for Robert Altman and co-starred with Sylvester Stallone, headed up summer blockbusters and movies that never made it out of film fests. And in whatever she's done she's been luminously beautiful and almost spookily precise.

"You almost never see her persona in any character," says Freundlich, 36, who met Moore on the set of his first feature, 1997's "The Myth of Fingerprints," and quickly cast her in his life, as well. "So I liked the idea of challenging her with a character who was only a little bit to the side of who she is in real life, someone with her sense of style and her sense of humor."

"Yeah, most of the stuff I've done has been pretty dramatic," Moore says. "For one reason or another, most of my stuff has been very dark. But 'The Big Lebowski' was a comedy. 'Laws of Attraction' was a romantic comedy, although not a lot of people saw it. I like to be funny." She laughs, nervously. "I mean, I certainly hope I'm funny in this!"

Freundlich isn't worried.

"Getting her for the movie was like having Michael Jordan on my pickup basketball game," he says. "And getting actors like Julie and Billy Crudup and Maggie Gyllenhaal, who don't usually do romantic comedies and approach it as a character piece, I think that brings an originality to it. The paradox is what makes it more interesting also makes it more of a challenge to market. Studios know how to market a Julia Roberts romance. This is a little different."

Moore's road to acting was a little different, too.

She didn't have a childhood marked by brutal parents, or a splintered family, or a learning disability. She didn't even spend hours in musty movie theaters, dreaming of future Oscar speeches. Instead she was born Julie Ann Smith in North Carolina and grew up, moving a lot, as the daughter of a military judge and a social worker; during high school she joined the drama club, because she liked telling stories.

"We had this wonderful teacher who, instead of having us do 'Barefoot in the Park,' would have us rehearsing 'Tartuffe,'" she says. "Who knew from Moliere in the 11th grade? But she always made things challenging and interesting and one day she said to me, 'You know, I think you're talented and you can study this, you know, you can make a career out of this, people do this.' And that had never occurred to me."

It had never occurred to her parents either, who -- Moore recalls -- were "shocked and appalled" that she wanted to be an actress.

"But ultimately they were OK with it, which looking back on it, I can't quite believe," she says. "And once I started doing it, I realized I liked it and while I didn't seem to be able to do anything everyone else could do, this was something I was good at. It wasn't a big revelation -- Ah, this is what I want to do with my life. I don't think I ever even truly expected it to work out. It was just step by step."

After graduation from Boston University, Moore moved to New York where her career progressed, incrementally. "You don't start out thinking, I'm going to be a star!" she says. "You think, I hope I get an agent. Then, I hope I get an audition. Then, I hope I get a callback. Then, I hope I get a job. If you think too far ahead it's just overwhelming. It's better just to keep on going, bit by bit, one foot in front of another."

Moore worked off-Broadway, landed a gig on "The Edge of Night" in 1984 and then moved on to more than three years on "As the World Turns," where she won an Emmy. But she saved most of the melodrama for the tube.

"I was pretty straight-laced growing up," says the actress who still peppers her conversations with "wow" and "oh my gosh." "Even when I was on my own and wilder, I was still pretty straight-laced. I spent my 20s basically working and coming home and going to bed early and then getting up and getting ready for work again. I look back on all this clubbing my friends did and what was I doing? Cleaning my apartment, probably."

Somehow, though, she found the time to get out and get married -- and divorced -- twice. And she began toting up credits. It began slowly -- step-by-step -- with things like "Tales From the Darkside: The Movie" and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle." But then she had an indelible part in "Short Cuts" as a furious wife so intent on arguing she forgets to finish getting dressed. And followed that up with a strong lead performance as the oddly fragile housewife of "Safe."

Only to then move on to dreary Hollywood assignments like the Hugh Grant comedy "Nine Months," or Stallone's thuggish "Assassins," or the forgettable "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," in which she co-starred with a passel of CGI monsters.

"Sometimes it's not always what you aspired to," she admits. "If the script isn't that great, well, maybe you can offer some suggestions and they'll be receptive. If the director and you aren't in sync -- if it seems like you're making two different movies -- that's even more difficult. But all you can do it try your best. It goes back to being that good, straight-laced kid, I guess. You show up, you change what you can, and you do your job."

There have been other disappointments. Despite four Oscar nominations -- including the 2002 awards, when she was nominated as both Best Supporting Actress for "The Hours," and Best Actress for "Far From Heaven," -- she has never won. Last year, some people thought her best shot would be her lead role in "Freedomland," a story about a mother who may or may not have killed her own son.

But then the studio decided to put all their Oscar hopes, vainly, on "Memoirs of a Geisha," and Moore's movie was downgraded from a plum December '05 berth to a low-profile February '06 one.

"I think all of us were a little disappointed because it was the kind of movie that fit in well with the movies there were coming out at the end of that year, that were complicated and had something to say," she says. "I think 'Freedomland' had a lot to say, not even just about race but about poverty. But you know what, as an actor, (release dates) aren't a part of my world. That's part of their world."

When the film did open, director Joe Roth insisted Moore wouldn't be forgotten when the nominations were announced. "'Silence of the Lambs,' 'Erin Brockovich,' "Pretty Woman' and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' were all released early and still won their female stars nominations," he says. "So I think Julianne will still be remembered at the end of the year."

"Freedomland" co-star Edie Falco said she certainly hoped so.

"She's just so good," she said. "I was impressed just by the fact that Julianne was able to take on this part, being not just a mother but such a consummate mother. She's so lovely and her family is such a huge part of her ... for me, anyway, if I have stuff in my real life that's close to what the character is going through, I find it harder to portray it."

Moore politely accepts the compliments, but says she doesn't dwell on awards and doesn't even necessarily agree with the praise. Playing someone like her is no more difficult than playing someone unlike her, she insists. Because none of this is ever about her.

"If I see everything through the prism of my own experience, than I diminish the character," she says. "You have to approach the story from as neutral a place as possible. I once heard an actress say, 'Well this character would never do that, because I would never do that' and I just thought, oh my gosh. That's just heartbreaking, and wrong. Because what you think does not matter to an audience. It's what they feel."

They feel a lot in Julianne Moore movies. They marvel at performances that can make Amber Waves' sex with Dirk Diggler in "Boogie Nights" seem nurturing, or pepper a romantic comedy like "Trust the Man" with genuine, deeply felt scenes of betrayal. If Moore hasn't yet won the awards of a Meryl Streep, or gained the starry profile of a Nicole Kidman she is every bit their equal -- a fact she proved, effortlessly, in "The Hours," in which they all appeared.

And like all great performers, Moore treats her work as, well, work.

"There's all this emotional stuff going on during a scene, yes, but you still need to have an intellectual awareness of where the camera is, where your light is, where your mark is, where you are in the frame," she says. "You have to be aware because that's part of the job, too, and nobody else is going to do it for you. It's not just all about you and what you're 'feeling.' You have a job to do, and a responsibility to everybody on that set."

The sets she shares with Freundlich have gotten more familial over the years. "Trust the Man" was shot near their home, in Greenwich Village; the cast was drawn from friends like James LeGros and Billy Crudup with whom they've worked before.

"Bart and I work together very well," says Moore. "The stress I feel is at home, because now we're working identical hours, and we have two children and a house and it's like, whoa, wait a minute, how are we going to work this one out? Those are the stresses we face and there are times when I think it'd probably be easier if he cast someone else and I could manage things at home."

Moore's life has changed since she had children although no more, she says, "than any working parent." She prefers projects that shoot in New York, or at least don't involve lengthy location work. Appearances at foreign premieres and chic film festivals depend on "whether I have to get the kids to school that week." She will be doing David Hare's play "The Vertical Hour" in November, and while she's excited about making her Broadway debut, she worries that she won't be home in time to tuck her children in.

But, she says, it's a limited run. And this is the career she's built, step by step.

"You never feel sure about this, ever," she says. "Will you stop getting scripts? Stop getting work? It happens all the time. Maybe sometimes it's for other reasons, but people just disappear. It's a freelance job and you have to make that effort to find that next part, and the one after it. You never know. But you never know about anything these days. So why not at least do what you want?"

ジュリアンが約束通りブログに投稿してくれました！バート、よくやった！（？）彼女の投稿分は以下の通りです。日本語の意訳も載せておきますので、参考程度にご覧下さい。（もし訳ミスがあったらゴメンナサイ。）

【日本語訳】
オーケイ、これって変。私は今までブログしたことがなくて多分間違えていると思うんだけれど。ちゃんと正しいサイトで「talladega nights」とかみたいなものではないことを祈ります。もしこれが正しければ。こちらはジュリアン・ムーアです（バートとして投稿）。私は現在バルセロナにいて、Savage Graceという映画を撮影中です。あと２週間あってその後家に帰ります。Trust the Manの公開にはとても興奮しています。私はこの映画を作れてとても良かったし、家のあるニューヨークで私たちの友達や家族のメンバーを集められるだけ集めて撮影できたのは素晴らしいことだと思いました。そして私は普段なかなか出会えないと思われる（というのは私だけ？とにかく）、家庭を持ち、仕事が役者という女性のキャラクターを演ずることが出来てとても良かったです。まるで私とか私の友達みたい！バートと一緒に仕事するのは素晴らしかったし、脚本もとても面白かった。私が一番残念だったのはとても面白かったものが最終的に映画に入らなかったこと。たとえばデイヴィッド（・ドゥカブニー）の振動する玉の話とか、私とビリー（・クラダップ）のハムスター事件とか。しかし妙なことにマギー（・ギレンホール）は妊娠することになったし、私は秋に舞台をすることになったし。

多分バートは超能力者なのかも。

Trust The Man: this is weird

okay this is weird, i've never blogged before and i think maybe i'm doing it wrong - i hope i've gone to the right site and not talladega nights or something. if this is the right place - this is julianne moore [posting as Bart] and i am in barcelona, shooting a movie called savage grace. i have 2 more weeks and then i come home. i'm very excited about the opening of trust the man - i loved making this movie. it was wonderful to shoot at home in new york with all of our friends and just about every family member we could round up. and i loved playing a character that i don't think you get to see that often - ( or i don't anyway) a woman with a family who just happens to have a job acting. kind of like me and alot of my friends! bart was wonderful to work with, and the script was so funny - my biggest disappointment was that some of the funniest stuff ended up not being in the movie - like david and his vibrating balls, and me and billy and the hamster incident. and oddly - maggie has ended up pregnant and i'm doing a play in the fall.

maybe bart is psychic.

NAKED FOR JACOBS

MARC JACOBS can get any woman naked – at least, his magic has worked on Carolyn Murphy, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Selma Blair. According to WWD, the gorgeous sixsome agreed to Jacobs and his ceo, Robert Duffy's request that they took their kit off to pose for photographer Brian Bowen Smith. The resulting shots will appear on T-shirts, above a slogan warning against the risk of skin cancer, that will be auctioned at Jacobs' after show party in September to raise money for the new York University School of Medicine's Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group. "Every single person I asked said yes, except for Hilary Swank," said Duffy. "But I am still working on her to try to convince her. I refuse to give up." The plan was hatched as a tribute to NYU physician Jessie Rubin, who recently died, whose daughter Francine Prose is a friend of Duffy's. (August 9 2006, AM)

Bart Freundlich

Selected Filmography
2006 Trust The Man

Bart Freundlich grew up in Manhattan and graduated from New York University?s Tisch School of the Arts. He wrote and directed an award winning short film A DOG RACE IN ALASKA, starring Sam Waterston and James Waterston, followed by a documentary short, HIRED HANDS. When he was 26 years old Freundlich wrote and directed his first feature length film, THE MYTH OF FINGERPRINTS. The film, starring Julianne Moore, Roy Scheider, Blythe Danner and Noah Wyle, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on play at several festivals throughout the world, winning the Audience Award at Deauville in 1997 before it's worldwide release later that year.

Freundlich's second film, WORLD TRAVELER starred Billy Crudup and his now real life partner Julianne Moore. It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2001 before being released the following year by "Thinkfilm" in partnership with "IFC".

For his third feature Freundlich took on "Catch that Kid", a children's film starring Kristen Stewart from PANIC ROOM and Jennifer Beals.

TRUST THE MAN represents a merging of those two worlds. A comedy which boasts a stellar cast, the film is Freundlich's most commercial endeavor to date

21 films premier at Venice festival - Yahoo! News

Thu Jul 27, 2:43 PM ET

ROME - For the first time at the Venice Film Festival, all films vying for the top Golden Lion award will make their world premiere at the late summer event, organizers said Thursday. "These films will be discovered at Venice," said Marco Mueller, the director of the annual festival.

Eleven of those films are first works by directors.

Among those in competition at the Aug. 30-Sept. 9 festival: Allen Coulter's "Hollywoodland," starring Adrien Brody and Ben Affleck. The movie dramatizes an investigation into the death of George Reeves, star of the 1950s TV show "Adventures of Superman."

Another potential blockbuster is Brian De Palma's "The Black Dahlia," with Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank and Josh Hartnett, drawn from the James Ellroy novel.

Also competing for the Golden Lion: Alfonso Cuaron's "Children of Men," starring Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine; Emilio Estevez' "Bobby" with Sharon Stone, Anthony Hopkins and Demi Moore, a movie about the assassination of the U.S. politician Robert Kennedy; and Stephen Frear's "The Queen," with Helen Mirren, James Cromwell and Michael Sheen.

Other entries are Alain Resnais' "Private Fears in Public Places," with Lambert Wilson and Sabine Azema; Darren Aronofsky's "The Fountain," with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, and Gianni Amelio's "La stella che non c'e" (The star that isn't there) with Sergio Castellitto and Tain Ling.

Other in-competition films include Barbara Albert's "Fallen," an Austrian work; Emanuele Crialese's "Nuovomondo (The Golden Door), an Italian film; and Benoit Jacquot's "L'intouchable," a French movie.

Europe and Asia contribute the rest of the films, which include an animation film from Japan called "Paprika" by Satoshi Kon, and "Zwartboek" by Paul Verhoeven.

Many of the festival's most promising films have often been screened out of competition.

This year's group include " Kenneth Branagh's "The Magic Flute," with Joseph Kaiser and Amy Carson, and David Lynch's "Inland Empire," with Laura Dern and Jeremy Irons.

Also showing will be "Belle Toujours" by Manoel de Oliveira and "Quelque jours en Septembre" by Santiago Amigorena, a French-Italian film with Juliette Binoche, John Turturro, Sara Forestier and Nick Nolte.

For the first time, the festival will screen films from Chad, Cyprus and Indonesia, with the African film "Daratt," by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, competing for the Golden Lion.

There will also be a section devoted to Russian cinema.

Tributes will explore works of three Italian directors — Roberto Rossellini, Luchino Visconti and Mario Soldati.

Children of Men Trailer Online
Source: Universal Pictures July 20, 2006

Apple has your first look at the trailer for director Alfonso Cuarón's thriller Children of Men, opening in theaters on September 29.

The Universal release envisages a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction.

Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, Children of Men follows disillusioned bureaucrat Theo (Clive Owen) as he becomes an unlikely champion of Earth's survival. When the planet's last remaining hope is threatened, this reluctant activist is forced to face his own demons and protect her from certain peril.

Julianne Moore stars as the leader of an underground opposition group and Michael Caine as Jasper.

NICOLE KIDMAN - KIDMAN AND URBAN TO RELEASE WEDDING PHOTO

KIDMAN AND URBAN TO RELEASE WEDDING PHOTO
LATEST: NICOLE KIDMAN and KEITH URBAN will release a single free photograph to the media hours after their Australian wedding ceremony on Sunday (25JUN06). The couple hope releasing the photograph will help curb aggressive paparazzi tactics at the actual event. Instead of selling exclusive photographs to the press for money, the celebrity couple have requested that media outlets using the photo make a donation to a children's hospital in the Sydney suburb of Randwick. Locals in Sydney have dubbed the frenzy surrounding the wedding "Kidmania". TV news programme THE INSIDER reports that Kidman's THE HOURS co-star MERYL STREEP touched down in Australia, skipping the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. Kidman's other co-star from The Hours, JULIANNE MOORE, is also reportedly on the guest list, along with her COLD MOUNTAIN accomplice RENEE ZELLWEGER.

最近のジュリアン。「Children of Men」の撮影が終わってNYで長男ケイレブ君と一緒にいるところをパパラッチされた模様。現在ファンサイトの１つ「Wanting Moore」さんがサイトをハッキングされて未だに復帰出来ないようなので一応掲載しておきますが、ジュリアン自身は子育てする上でこういうパパラッチが一番嫌いだそうですね。
ある日リブちゃんにアイスクリームを食べさせている時に写真を撮られて「そこまで。やめなさい！(That's it! STOP!!)」とパパラッチに叫んだら、リブちゃんが「え？これ以上食べちゃダメなの？」と聞き返したという話を以前ジュリアンがインタビューで話していましたが、有名人であるが故、こんな場面でも注目を集めてしまうってのは大変ですよね。
女優業も楽じゃありません。

Julianne and Helena keeping mum in NYC
30 MAY 2006

Looking after young children can be stressful work at times, but celebrity mums Julianne Moore and Helena Christensen were both keeping their cool when they were spotted out and about in New York this week.

The two A-listers were wearing floaty white summer clothes as they enjoyed the warm temperatures currently enveloping Manhattan. Julianne, walking hand-in-hand with her eight-year-old son Cal, was also accompanied by husband Bart Freundlich and their little girl Liz when she was snapped strolling through the streets near their Greenwich Village home.

While the actress is well-known for her commitment to her own children, she also does all she can to help youngsters who may have fallen into dangerous situations. Just last week she travelled across the country to Los Angeles to help a new initiative aimed at tracking down missing kids.

And ironically enough, the performer has also just finished work on a new sci-fi thriller about a futuristic world where men are no longer able to procreate. Children Of Men, which is due to hit cinema screens later this year, sees her teaming up with British stars Clive Owen and Sir Michael Caine.

Helena, meanwhile, has been enjoying some quality time with her little boy Mingus. The handsome six-year-old, who seems to have inherited his actor father Norman Reedus' blonde locks, was sporting a bright yellow T-shirt with cartoon dinosaurs emblazoned across the front as he soaked up the sights and sounds of the Big Apple.

Clothes star at Chanel show - Yahoo! News

By Donna Freydkin, USA TODAY Thu May 18, 7:19 AM ET

When legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld requests their presence at a fashion show, stars such as Naomi Watts,Mischa Barton,Maria Bello and Julianne Moore happily oblige. The actresses swept into Grand Central Terminal midday Wednesday to check out Lagerfeld's new cruise collection for Chanel, consisting of filmy dresses and blouses, jeans and, of course, the company's classic jackets.
The celebrities, all decked out in Chanel, mingled with a who's who of the fashion world. Moore sat next to American Vogue editor Anna Wintour, there with daughter Bee Shaffer.
The first Chanel item Moore ever purchased? "Sunglasses, probably," she said. And her favorite item in her closet is "a black Chanel bag that I probably use every single week. I love it," she said.
A History of Violence's Bello, meanwhile, said Chanel brings out her sexy side.
"I feel naughty in Chanel," she said. "I feel provocative without being showy."
Barton walked in five minutes before the show started. The last to walk in was a smiling Watts, who waved to friends and had a chat with Moore after the show.
"I feel very classic in Chanel," said Watts, in a black jacket and shorts. "It mixes the feminine with the masculine very well."

Oscar-nominated actors Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams are joining the all-star cast of the Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There," written and directed by Todd Haynes.

Ledger, who replaces Colin Farrell, is in negotiations to be one of seven actors cast that will represent the different aspects of Dylan's life story and music.

Playbill News: Hare's The Vertical Hour, With Julianne Moore, to Play Music Box

By Robert Simonson 26 May 2006

The Music Box Theatre will be the home of Julianne Moore's Broadway debut. She will star in The Vertical Hour, a new David Hare play, this fall.
Performances will begin at the Music Box in November, the New York Times reported. The Vertical Hour, will be directed by Sam Mendes, in his first Broadway foray since piloting the Bernadette Peters revival of Gypsy.
Robert Fox, Neal Street Productions and Scott Rudin will produce.
The play is about "a young American war correspondent turned academic who now teaches Political Studies at Yale. A brief holiday with her boyfriend in the Welsh borders brings her into contact with a kind of Englishman whose culture and beliefs are a surprise and a challenge, both to her and to her relationship."
The design team for The Vertical Hour includes Scott Pask (scenery), Ann Roth (costumes) and Brian MacDevitt (lighting).
Vertical Hour will mark Moore's Broadway debut. She received her big break in films in Robert Altman's 1993 movie "Short Cuts," in which she famously had an argument with the actor playing her husband while half dressed. She then appeared in Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn's unorthodox film adaptation, "Uncle Vanya on 42nd Street." Subsequent films included "Nine Months," "Boogie Nights," "Safe," "The Big Lebowski," "The Ideal Husband" and "The End of the Affair." Her career reached a peak in 2002 with her acclaimed performances in "The Hours" (written by Hare) and "Far From Heaven," Todd Haynes stylistic tribute to the films of Douglas Sirk. She was Oscar-nominated for both parts.

Julianne Moore helping to keep kids safe

Julianne Moore helping to keep kids safe
(Los Angeles-AP, May 4, 2006) - In her latest film, "Freedomland," Julianne Moore plays a woman whose son was kidnapped. In real life, Moore is helping the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to keep kids safe.
Moore will lend her celebrity to the cause Thursday to kick off the center's new Power of Parents program - a Web site with free safety information for parents.

The site encourages parents to practice safety skills with their children and keep photos and basic physical details about their kids handy and up-to-date.

"That was a truly novel idea to me," Moore told The Associated Press Wednesday. "I'm a loving parent, but I didn't realize the importance" of keeping current, straightforward headshots of her children on hand.

Moore has two children, Cal, 8, and Liz, 4, with her husband, Bart Freundlich.

　前作"Freedomland"ではジュリアンは子どもが誘拐された母親役を演じていましたが、それが縁かどうかは謎ですが、今回National Center for Missing & Exploited Children（NCMEC：全米行方不明・被搾取児童センター）の親のための無料情報提供ウェブサイト宣伝のお手伝いをしたようです。

イベントの様子→Wireimage

この情報サイトでは「日頃から子どもの写真を撮っておいたり、身体的特徴をひかえておく」ことを薦めているようです。それに対し実生活で２人の子どものママ・ジュリアンは「私にとっては小説のような話に思えた。私は子どもが大好きな親なんだけれど、そんなに現在の子どもの証明写真をとっておいて手元に置いておくことの重要性を知らなかった。」とAP通信にコメント。

　でもアメリカでは年間かなりの人数の子どもが失踪・行方不明になっていて、決して他人事ではないんですよね。１０年前ぐらいにヒットしたSoul Asylumというロックバンドの曲"Runaway Train"のミュージックビデオがこのテーマを扱っていた記憶がありますが、今でも状況は変わっていないようですね。有名人の場合なんてそれに＋アルファでパパラッチ問題なんかもあるわけだし。
　最近の日本でも徐々に社会がアメリカナイズされてきていて他人事ではなくなってきています。お子さんをお持ちの方、National Center for Missing & Exploited Children（NCMEC：全米行方不明・被搾取児童センター）のサイト、参考にしてみてください。

Digital Spy - Showbiz - Moore starves herself to get roles

Moore starves herself to get roles

Tuesday, April 25 2006, 15:42 BST - by Susanna Regan
Hollywood actress Julianne Moore has revealed that she eats so little in order to stay slim that she feels hungry every day.

The star said that celebrities often skip meals before events such as photoshoots, noting that such behaviour "[is] not extreme. There are some crazy dieters out there."

Moore confided to the magazine Grazia: "If you want to know the truth about actresses, it's that we're hungry all the time. We live on granola bars and yoghurt."

She criticised the entertainment industry for promoting unhealthy 'ideals', pointing out that despite her slender frame, "I could still be an acceptable weight in Hollywood if I lost 5lbs more, even though it would make me look emaciated."

とある雑誌の取材でジュリアンはこんな発言をしたそうです。「女優の真実ってのはいつも腹ぺこなのよ。グラノーラバーとヨーグルトで生きているんだから。」「ハリウッドでは私の場合あと５ポンド少なければ許容範囲かしら。でもそれだとやつれて見えてしまうんだけれど。」
....女優も大変なお仕事ですね。"理想"の美しさと健康的な美しさのギャップってのは難しいですよね。でも世界の女性はハリウッドスターを見てダイエットにいそしんでいるわけだから、ジュリアンのような発言は世界中のダイエッターに希望の光を与える....わけでもなし。（笑）

The 'Hannibal' star revealed: "If you want to know the truth about actresses, it's that we're hungry all the time. We live on granola bars and yoghurt."

She added: "If you talk to any actress, they'll say, 'Yeah, I didn't have dinner last night because I had a photo shoot today'. And that's not extreme. There are some crazy dieters out there."

Julianne also slammed the acting industry for making "emaciated" bodies seem acceptable.

She told Britain's Grazia magazine: "I think I'm a slender person.

Filming begins for Cage-Moore flick ‘Next’ at casino

Colin Atagi
The Desert Sun
April 4, 2006

While the TV pilot’s crew occupied Palm Springs on Monday, a movie starring Nicolas Cage and Julianne Moore was being filmed several miles away at the Morongo Casino in Cabazon. The film, “Next,” is about a man capable of seeing into his future. He tries to win a woman’s love while avoiding capture from a government organization.

The casino was still open to the public, but there were signs notifying guest that they consent to allowing film producers to use their images if they’re caught on camera, said Desert Sun columnist Darrell Smith, who was on the set as an extra.

Three hundred extras arrived at the casino about 6:30 a.m. Monday April 3.

About 200 of them had roles as casino staff. The remaining 100, including Smith, played casino gamblers.

ジュリアンは現在「Next」の撮影でカジノにいるみたいです。映画は「未来を見通すことが出来る男」ニコラス・ケイジが政府の追っ手から逃げる話のはずなんだけれど、どうやらギャンブルもするのかな？撮影に使われるカジノは一般客にも開放されていて、ひょっとするとその人たちも映画に出演することになるかもしれないそうです。（これであなたもハリウッドスター？！）それにしても派遣されてくるエキストラ３００名中２００名がカジノのスタッフ役、残り１００名が客役ですか....。さすがハリウッドのやることはすごいなも。

ジュリアンが「Comedy for a Cure」に参加した模様がWireimageに掲載されています。彼女は以前からthe Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance（米国結節性硬化症同盟。結節性硬化症患者への支援団体）に対して支援を行っているのでその関係で出席しているかと思われます。

....ちなみにテリ・ハッチャーも出席しているのだけれど、パーティーで妙にキャピキャピしているのよね。（笑）

Julianne Moore to Host Frederick's of Hollywood 3rd Annual Lingerie Art Auction
Friday October 14, 9:08 am ET
Lingerie Leader Hosts Event to Benefit Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Lingerie legend Frederick's of Hollywood is proud to announce Academy Award nominated actress, Julianne Moore as host of the 3rd Annual Frederick's of Hollywood Lingerie Art Auction. This benefit returns again after two hugely successful programs, for which more than 100 celebrities raised funds and awareness for life-changing causes. This year, the Frederick's of Hollywood auction benefits the TS Alliance. Taking place at the new flagship Frederick's of Hollywood boutique on October 27, the event will feature a private shopping reception to benefit TSA and a live auction with celebrity designed corsets.

"We are incredibly honored to have Julianne Moore as our host this year," said Linda LoRe, CEO & President, Frederick's of Hollywood. "Her spirit and generosity are qualities that make her a true role-model for all women. We're certain her passion will be felt throughout the Hollywood community to raise awareness for this great event and for the TS Alliance."

Since it's inception in 2003, The Frederick's of Hollywood Lingerie Art Auction & Fashion Show has received participation from more than 100 of today's hottest celebrities including Susan Sarandon, Geena Davis, Sarah Jessica Parker, Britney Spears, Ellen DeGeneres, Goldie Hawn, Sharon Stone, Ben Stiller, Courteney Cox & David Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, Barbra Streisand and Halle Berry, to name a few.

Event Chair Julianne Moore stated, "We at the TS alliance are so excited about this event. It is a chance to raise much-needed funds, as well as raise awareness about a disease that has not been well known, yet it affects as many people as are affected by cystic fibrosis. We are thrilled by Frederick's participation."

As host of this year's event, Moore submitted the first design for the 2005 program. Titled "Peace, Love & Understanding," her design features a body entirely covered with silver sequins and straps of dark grey velvet. Adorning the bottom of the corset is a row of silver peace signs that dangle from the body. A participant for the previous two years, Moore's designs have always been among the top-sellers for the program.

Additionally, just after the October 27 event, Frederick's of Hollywood will host an online auction of corsets at www.fredericks.com. Beginning October 28, website visitors can bid to own a personally designed celebrity corset with all proceeds going to the TS Alliance. A sneak preview of the corsets will go live on the site prior to the live auction to pique potential bidders' interest.

"The TS Alliance is thrilled to partner with Frederick's of Hollywood through Julianne Moore, who has a longstanding relationship with our organization," says Nancy L. Taylor, Chief Executive Officer. "We believe this event will be a fun way to not only raise critically needed funds to help those affected by tuberous sclerosis complex but also to increase awareness about this rare disorder."

With more than 150 boutique stores nationwide, world-famous catalog and online shop, Frederick's has been recognized as one of the world's most well-known brands. Visit www.fredericks.com.

The TS Alliance is the only national voluntary health organization dedicated to finding a cure for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and improving the lives of those affected.

Tales of a desperate housewife

October 2, 2005　BY CINDY PEARLMAN

Julianne Moore isn't shy about airing her dirty laundry in public. In fact, the story she's about to tell reeks of personal details.

"This summer, we rented this little house by the beach. It was me, my husband Bart, and our two kids. All I can say is I did more laundry than I ever thought was possible," says the famous redhead.

"My son likes to play in his socks outside. Every five minutes, I'm like, 'Those socks are filthy. Hand them over right now.' Suddenly, I'd be standing there with another mound of laundry."

Call her an Oscar-nominated desperate housewife.

Moore plays a desperate housewife of another era in "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio," which opened Friday. Based on a true story, Moore plays Evelyn Ryan, a woman who enters several national jingle-writing contests in the 1950s in order to help feed her 10 children while her hard-drinking husband (Woody Harrelson) digs them into financial holes.

"There was a period of time in America where the advertising world actually went to the housewives of America and had them write jingles that would appeal to them," Moore says. "It was actually brilliant marketing."

Moore's character Evelyn is a former newspaper writer who juggles her kids and a husband who wanted to be a singer. A freak accident ruins his voice and destroys his spirit. That's why he spends the little money he makes at the liquor store.

"It's all on one woman who doesn't even have a job to feed and raise her 10 children. Can you believe it? Ten children," Moore says. "I pat myself on the back that I have two children, a job, and I'm doing OK. I'm managing. This woman was astonishing. She had all the stress and no help. She couldn't work outside the home, but had to find a way for her children to eat.

"The amazing thing is that this woman never gets really depressed," Moore says. "She feels confident. You watch her being able to handle anything."

Evelyn's true problems arise from her husband, who kills her joy. Each time she wins a refrigerator, a shopping spree, or even cash from her jingles, he finds a way to ruin the moment, including beating her new deep freezer with a bat.

"Finally, she says what I think is the most profound line of the movie between this husband and wife," Moore says. "She says, 'I don't need you to make me happy. I need you to leave me alone when I am.'

"The movie basically says that you have to create your own happiness. You also have to express yourself even if you don't seem to have an outlet, which is why this woman wrote jingles for contests."

The real Evelyn died in 1998. Moore was able to talk to several of her children to get a handle on the character.

"The kids even came to the set," Moore says. "And they brought Evelyn's grandchildren. Her best friend, who is still alive, came to the set. This is the friend who took Evelyn to buy her first pantsuit at J.C. Penney, which was a big deal."

Moore says the idea of playing a prize-winner was a bit foreign to her.

"Once, I won $246 in a slot machine," she says. "I didn't even enter contests as a kid. I did once send away for a Captain Crunch watch, but it never came."

What might be coming Moore's way in the coming months is a little statue named Oscar. There's buzz she might get a Best Actress nod for either "Prize Winner" or the upcoming "Freedomland," based on the Richard Price novel. In that film, Moore plays Brenda Martin, a single mother who accuses a man from the projects of kidnapping her young daughter, who is now feared dead. Her accusations spark a racial explosion. The film also stars Samuel L. Jackson as the detective on the case and Edie Falco as a woman who looks for missing children.

"Basically, I play a white woman who walks into a black hospital in the middle of the night and says she was carjacked by a black man," she says. "It's about class division and poverty. In the end, it's really about how alike we are as human beings."

A big bonus for Moore was she got to work on her home turf of New York City. "It was fantastic to star in an urban, East Coast story. We shot in Brooklyn, and I was home every single night, which was really fantastic. I couldn't have been happier," she says.

The other bonus was working with Jackson. "I don't think there is anyone cooler than Sam Jackson," she says. "At the end, he not only gave me a Kangol hat, which made me feel cool, but he also gave me a necklace with my initials on the front and his on the back."

As for the Oscar buzz, Moore sighs.

"All I really want is for people to enjoy my movies," she says. "I want my work to be good, regardless of the other stuff like awards." In another breath, she adds, "Of course, you can't help but get caught up in the Oscar mania. But I think of it like hair."

An explanation is in order.

"OK, if you had a hairdo that you liked, but everyone hated your hair, including your man, then you'd be sad. It's the same thing with movies. I love these movies and if someone else likes them, too, then I'll just be thrilled.

"I won't lie," she says. "I want to be in movies that everyone likes."

In 2003, Moore married director Bart Freundlich, the father of her son Cal, 7, and daughter Liv, 3. Freundlich also directed Moore in "Trust the Man," an upcoming film starring David Duchovny.

At home, neither focuses on Hollywood. "It's all about the kids," she says. "Cal is a big boy now and very much into sports. He's adorable. Liv is so cute, and she wants to be like Mommy."

Moore sounds very much like any working mother when she laments packing her bags after this interview.

"I leave for London tonight and I'll be all by myself. It's awful," she says. "Of course, the first few days are great. I'll watch TV, hang out, read. But then I miss my family so terribly.

"The toughest part is the second night, when my daughter will call and say, 'Where are you, Mom? Are you coming home tomorrow?' And you have to say, 'Not yet, honey.'

"I can't wait to get home and wash all those socks," she says.

Julianne Moore knows how to play house

Actress looks for truth behind '50s role

By Beth Pinsker, Globe Correspondent | October 9, 2005

NEW YORK -- When Julianne Moore had back-to-back showcase roles as '50s housewives in 2002, it seemed like a bad career move, like she was inviting typecasting and cutting herself off from the big-budget love story world after years of wonderful independent films. Then she got Oscar nominations for both films -- a supporting nod for the suicidal mother in ''The Hours" and a best actress one for the perfect suburbanite unmoored by her husband's homosexuality in ''Far From Heaven" -- and suddenly her choices seemed a stroke of genius.

She has played contemporary roles in two major releases since then -- in the thriller ''The Forgotten" and the romantic comedy ''Laws of Attraction" -- but what might take her back to the Academy Awards is another '50s housewife. In ''The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio," which opens Friday, her character, Evelyn Ryan, is a defiant optimist who faces raising 10 children in poverty without much help from an alcoholic husband and ends up supporting them by winning a steady stream of jingle contests. The story is spry and jubilant despite its undercurrent of desperation, and Moore shows a fiery determination behind her long-suffering, pasted-on smile.

At this point, the 45-year-old actress is not worried at all about typecasting.

''What's different about this role is that it's based on a true story," she says, in a hotel suite in New York, where she's dressed casually in gray jeans and a gauzy green shirt over a white camisole. ''The responsibility is entirely different. It's about how you bring the character to life in your own way while remaining faithful to the spirit of who she was."

The director of the film, Jane Anderson (''Normal"), didn't worry at all about putting the redhead into any kind of iconic role. ''I don't consider it repetition at all. There are dozens of stories that are completely different from each other that can be told," she says.

Moore's husband, the director Bart Freundlich, speaking earlier during an interview at the Toronto Film Festival, thinks these roles are just in the cards because his wife is an expert at communicating what's below the surface. ''There's not a lot of opportunity for women of that generation in these films to express themselves verbally or make any big movements," said Freundlich. ''They don't slap anyone or yell; they are always perfect. But Juli's able to communicate the brokenness -- the complexity -- behind that."

Anderson describes a scene in the film where Moore was able to do just that, with an added degree of dignity that amazed her. After Evelyn wins a shopping spree at a supermarket, she's sitting at her kitchen table with all the kids, trying all sorts of foreign delicacies she picked, such as caviar and artichoke hearts. Her husband, played by Woody Harrelson, is expressing his wounded pride at having his wife provide all of their luxuries; he grouses and starts to get violent. The scene was supposed to end after he throws half the contents of the freezer into the backyard, but Anderson kept the cameras rolling, and Moore started improvising.

Page2 of 2へ続く

''You can see her on-screen consciously making the decision not to go to the dark place," says Anderson. ''She went back to the table and said to the kids, 'What should we try next?' Then she had the foresight to invite her husband back to sit with them, and that gave the scene such resonance."

Moore, who early in her career starred in movies as diverse as Todd Haynes's ''Safe" and Louis Malle's ''Vanya on 42nd Street," chalks this up to finding her character's essence. ''Evelyn was an extraordinary individual," she says. ''She had an indomitable spirit, an intense inherent optimism, plus an ability to live in the present and to have a sense of humor." Moore says that watching her mother go through some of these emotions as a military wife, always following her husband through various posts, helped as well.

''My mother is 65 and she felt that," Moore says. ''She was married at 20, and only had a year of nursing school. It was just when things were changing, so I was quite aware as a teenager that there were things I took for granted that my mother didn't have -- that we had choices, that we could have an education, could have a family and a career."

The only thing her mother asked of her was that she didn't go to college in New York -- too scary -- which is how Moore ended up at Boston University in the drama program. Her college experience didn't presage the kind of A-list star she would become.

''I lived all over the place," she says. ''I moved every year I was there. I worked on top of the Howard Johnson's in Kenmore Square, where the Citgo sign is. I worked at Great Gatsby's, and the Boston Tea Party Ship & Museum as a cashier."

Now she's found her way to New York despite her mother's admonition, setting up house in Greenwich Village with Freundlich and their two kids, Cal, 7, and Liv, 3. ''My mom comes to visit now and she still thinks the city is too busy, but maybe not as scary," Moore says.

Moore is so comfortable there that she bases career choices on whether or not she has to stray far from home. She and Freundlich try to time their projects so that only one of them is working at a time, and when they can't work that out, they try to work together.

Moore is the star of Freundlich's latest film, ''Trust the Man," which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September and will be released next year. She plays an actress and mother of two young kids the same age as hers (Liv actually makes a cameo in a final scene). The film costars many close family friends, such as Freundlich's schoolmate Billy Crudup, his best West Coast friend David Duchovny, and their longtime friend James LeGros.

LeGros, an ordained minister through the Internet, actually performed Moore and Freundlich's wedding ceremony two years ago. The couple had been together since meeting on the set of Freundlich's directorial debut, ''The Myth of Fingerprints" in 1996, but hadn't made it official. And that little tidbit ends up in the movie.

''I've done four movies with Bart, and five with Julianne; you get to know people over the years," says LeGros, speaking in Toronto.

''You don't have a lot of control in this business, and you don't know what's going to happen, so it's nice to think you have relationships out there like that," says Moore.

Moore has tried her hand at taking the reins, executive-producing ''Marie and Bruce," an independent film based on a play by Wallace Shawn (with whom she starred in ''Vanya") that premiered at Sundance last year. But that wasn't a great experience, which she blames mostly on not having enough time to devote to the project. ''I have no control [of the film] now," she says with exasperation. ''I learned my lesson: If you're going to do it, do it entirely."

On that note, she isn't much interested in stepping behind the camera. ''My husband is a director, so I see what it takes," she says. ''And what it takes is a lot of time."

For now, she's got her hands full, like every other working mom out there. ''It's hard. It's what everyone is doing," she says, and as she finishes her sentence, her cellphone rings, and it's Freundlich, most likely wanting to know when Moore will be home.

''You do the best you can," she adds, silencing the phone ringer. ''The thing that's nicest for us is that we have some flexibility. That's the hardest, hardest thing. I see it at the nursery school. Every mother I know talks about that."

“The thing I’m looking forward to most―other than the Knicks rebuilding―is being able to sit outside at Bar Pitti and have lunch on a fall day with my kids. Also, I’ve seen clips of Freedomland, with two of my favorite actors―Sam Jackson and my wife [Julianne Moore] in it―and it’s amazing. It’s like a cross between an old-school seventies movie that was all about character and some kind of new thriller. I had also heard Rufus Wainright was doing something―I want to make a musical with him someday.”

Freundlich’s new film, Trust the Man, stars David Duchovny and premieres Sept. 12 at the Toronto Film Festival.

Freedomland is in theaters Dec. 23.

Julianne Moore's 'Prize' a winner
By Sheri Linden
Wed Sep 21, 7:09 PM ET


LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Toward the end of "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio," Julianne Moore's plucky homemaker uncharacteristically snaps at her ne'er-do-well husband that she's no saint.

Perhaps not, but she comes pretty darn close. Writer-director Jane Anderson has adapted Terry Ryan's best-selling valentine to her remarkable mom, subtitled "How My Mother Raised 10 Kids on 25 Words or Less," into a spirited comic drama, toplined by Moore's lovely performance. "Prize Winner" should be a leading entry, especially with females and older audiences.

Evelyn Ryan was an ardent member of a midcentury subculture called contesting, peopled mainly by word-savvy American housewives who entered the myriad jingle and slogan contests advertisers used to promote their products. In her case, it was less diversion than career, the cash and merchandise keeping her family afloat. It wasn't merely that Evelyn had six sons and four daughters to feed; counting her alcoholic husband (well played by Woody Harrelson), she had 11 kids. Anderson ("The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom," "Normal") neither skirts nor belabors the story's dark issues while kicking up some fun with the sloganeering.

At the film's outset, a $5,000 prize arrives just as the Ryans need to find a new place to live, providing the down payment on a clapboard house. But Evelyn, who earned the money, can keep her prim white gloves on at the bank; she's not invited to sign the mortgage. This is 1956, when Miss America contestants confidently proclaim that women are too high-strung and emotional to hold national office.

Evelyn's unspoken indignation is clear, but her most extraordinary traits are a steadfast resilience and Zen-like devotion to the here and now, never lingering long enough in trying situations to feel put-upon or become bitter. And the trying moments are plentiful, from her weekly go-rounds forestalling creditors like the milkman (Simon Reynolds) to the nightly drinking binges of her husband, Kelly, which often turn violent. Self-reliance is her only choice; the cops tell her he'll sleep it off, and the priest (David Gardner) advises her to make a better home.

A one-time aspiring journalist, Evelyn doesn't coddle her needy husband but has limitless empathy for the stylish crooner's fall from grace into the "ranks of ordinary men" as a factory machinist. A cavernous freezer Evelyn wins provokes Kelly's rage because it's a constant reminder of his inability to fill it. While she happily brainstorms couplets, he offers a few self-loathing jingles. But Harrelson also provides evidence of the charmer who once romanced this bright woman.

Evelyn's only support system, besides her kids, is a group of high-achieving contesters who call themselves the Affadaisies and help each other craft haikus to consumerism. A writers workshop posing as a coffee klatch, the out-of-the-house adventure has an immediate effect on Evelyn, who stands up to Kelly with renewed vigor upon her return home (and comes up with a jingle in the process). It would have been good to see more of the Affadaisies, especially when Laura Dern plays the club's leader.

Contemporary audiences used to psychologizing might write off as denial Evelyn's cheeriness in the face of Kelly's spiteful anger. But Moore, whose luminosity has often graced more brittle, troubled characters, brings to life something deeper and wiser, something almost subversive in her character's refusal to be damaged. The film deftly avoids sappiness until Evelyn's everything-is-possible speech to daughter Tuff (Ellary Porterfield, well cast as the author, who has no Daddy's-girl sympathy for Kelly).

Ace design contributions from Edward T. McAvoy and Hala Bahmet re-create the period with verisimilitude and flair, particularly in the joyous set piece of a grocery store shopping spree -- just one of the fabulous prizes Evelyn Ryan won for her family.

Sep. 16, 2005 Trust the Man

By Michael Rechtshaffen TORONTO -- Just when it looked like the romantic comedy was doomed to forever repeat itself in some kind of formulaic purgatory, along comes filmmaker Bart Freudlich with "Trust the Man," a smart, sharply observed, highly affable look at contemporary relationships that finally injects a little life in the stagnating genre.

Working with a beautifully in-sync comic ensemble including Julianne Moore, David Duchovny, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Billy Crudup, Freundlich, who's Moore's husband, delivers what is by far his most accessible -- and most satisfying -- film to date.

Fox Searchlight, which picked up the film midfestival, could have a tidy little hit on its hands, appealing to a grown-up audience hankering for something adult without the "Wedding Crashers"/"40 Year Old Virgin" frat boy vibe.

With New York City providing the appropriately urbane backdrop, the picture surveys the in-transition lives of two couples in very different stages of their relationship.

Rebecca is a successful actress whose sex-addict husband Tom (Duchovny) is a stay-at-home dad for their two young kids.

Her commitment-phobic younger brother Tobey (Billy Crudup), meanwhile, is perfectly content to stay the course of his 7-year relationship with girlfriend Elaine (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a budding children's book writer aching to start a family of her own.

Despite the efforts of a couple of therapists played by Garry Shandling and Bob Balaban, Tom and Rebecca and Tobey and Elaine are each about to come face to face with potentially life-changing, but quite funny, obstacles.

Both geographically and thematically speaking, writer-director Freundlich finds himself on vintage Woody Allen turf here -- as in the "Manhattan"/"Husbands and Wives" Woody Allen -- while still managing to lend the production a unique voice of its own.

And Allen would've killed for Freundlich's terrific cast.

It's a real kick seeing Julianne Moore playing it for laughs for a change, and she's such a natural you wish she'd have signed on to do comedies years ago.

The same can be said for Crudup, a usually intense actor who plays things loose and loopy as the delightful Gyllenhaal's slacker b.f., while Duchovny looks to be really enjoying himself on screen for the first time in a long while.

Also amusing is Ellen Barkin as a book publisher who takes a shine to Gyllenhaal; James Le Gros as Dante, a sensitive singer-songwriter; and Eva Mendes as a friend of Crudup's from college looking for a little reunion action.

While the scripting loses a bit of its bite in the third act, when Freundlich playfully apes some of those rickety romantic comedy cliches missing from the rest of the film, it's a minor quibble.

Behind the scenes, it's also nice to see New York actually being played by itself for a change, and director of photography Tim Orr ("George Washington," "Little Manhattan"), takes full advantage of the local flavor, like Serendipity and The Magnolia Bakery, while incorporating those ever-changing elements, from wind to rain to snow and back again.

Trust the Man is an hilarious drama about the crazy things people will do for love. Bart Freundlich’s latest film boasts a phenomenal cast - Julianne Moore, David Duchovny, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Billy Crudup, Ellen Barkin, Bob Balaban and Eva Mendes among them - in a fantastic romance for the twenty-first century.

We are in present-day New York among the comfortably successful leisure class. Rebecca (Moore) is an actress; a little bit uptight to begin with, she is crushed to discover that her marriage may be falling apart. Her husband Tom (Duchovny), a die-hard porn addict, takes things one step further when he begins an affair, leaving long-suffering Rebecca to pick up the pieces of their relationship. Rebecca’s brother Tobey (Crudup), meanwhile, is in a long-term relationship with Elaine (Gyllenhaal) that has begun to turn sour. Both couples are spoiled and bratty, to varying degrees, and years of secrets and lies have left them all filled with resentment. A wild flurry of adulterous encounters and trial separations, adventures in dating and even a bout of stalking ensue as the two desperate men realize they must do everything they possibly can - moral and immoral, legal and otherwise - to prove to their women that they deserve to be taken back.

Throughout wild hijinks and heart-stopping tenderness, side-splitting humour and harrowing pathos, Trust the Man’s cast is mesmerizing. Duchovny delivers the best performance of his film career while Moore - certainly among the most talented actresses of her generation - is as luminous as we have come to expect. And a scene in which Barkin’s character Norah puts the moves on Gyllenhaal’s Elaine is a perfectly executed, miniature comic masterpiece. Shot by acclaimed cinematographer Tim Orr (who shot Dan Harris’s 2004 Gala presentation Imaginary Heroes and all of David Gordon Green’s features), Trust the Man is an energetic and cutting work that calls to mind Woody Allen’s Husbands and Wives and Annie Hall. Sure to be one of the most memorable date movies of the year, it is a spectacular ode to love and the distance we will go to get it - and to keep it.

ということでバートお得意の人間ドラマ系の模様です。このレビューではかなり褒めていますね。 あとWanting MooreのところでFox Searchlightが「Trust the Man」を買ったとの話が紹介されています。北米での公開の他に世界規模では日本もリストに含まれているようなので、日本公開にますます期待大。その際にはどーぞきちんと全国公開して下さいませ。

A Fox Searchlight spokesperson confirmed that 20th Century Fox's specialty films division is the "proud owner" of the absorbing relationship study, starring Freudlich's real-life partner and longtime film collaborator Julianne Moore as well as David Duchovny, Billy Crudup, Maggie Gyllenhall, Eva Mendes and Ellen Barkin. Searchlight snatched North American rights and a long list of international territories, including Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Benelux, China, Columbia, France, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Switzerland, Germany and Taiwan.

"Trust the Man" is one of the films from Sidney Kimmel Entertainment that has been up for sale in Toronto. SKE's other film "Neverwas" met with a less enthusiastic response, but at least one acquisitions exec predicted it should sell as well, although probably for a lower figure. CAA repped the "Trust" sale for client Freundlich, while negotiations were handled for Fox Searchlight by executive vice president Joey DeMarco and senior vice president of acquisitions Tony Safford and for SKE by president Jim Tauber.

Tauber, who was exec vp of Acquisitions and Co-Productions at 20th Century Fox, working with all divisions of the studio before leaving to join SKE in July, said, "I'm thrilled by the sale and thrilled to be in business with Fox Searchlight."

Moore mulls her 'Next' pic　 (@ Yahoo! US News)
David S. Cohen, STAFF

(Variety) ― Revolution Studios is in negotiations with Julianne Moore to play the female lead in "Next" opposite Nicolas Cage (news).

Cage is also attached as a producer, while Lee Tamahori will direct the sci-fi thriller.

Gary Goldman adapted Philip K. Dick's short story "The Golden Man."

Moore would play a federal agent who's looking for people who can help predict terrorist acts. Her search puts her in pursuit of a man (Cage) who has the ability to see his own future and take a different path if he chooses.

Before "Next" goes into production, Moore would most likely shoot "Freedomland" for Revolution and topper Joe Roth, who will helm the drama. "Freedomland" is aiming for a spring start date.

While Moore is busy with "Freedomland," Cage would shoot Col's "Ghost Rider" in Australia for writer-director Mark Steven Johnson. "Next" would then go into production in the second half of 2005.

Revolution has been a favorite stop for Moore of late. She starred in "The Forgotten" and "The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio" for the studio before lining up "Freedomland" and "Next."

本日12月3日はジュリアンの誕生日です。1960年生まれなので、今年で御歳44歳になられますねぇ。いつまでも「大人の魅力」で頑張ってもらいたいものです。

Happy Birthday, Julianne !!

Actress thrills
Angela Dawson
Entertainment News Wire
Sept. 21, 2004 12:00 AM

HOLLYWOOD - "I love to be scared, I really, really do," confides a giggly Julianne Moore by phone from New York. "It's my favorite kind of thing."
As long as it's only in the movies. The pale redhead has starred in her share of thrillers over the years - "Hannibal," "Psycho" and "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," to name a few.
Her latest is "The Forgotten," a psychological thriller in which Moore plays a woman mourning the loss of her 9-year-old son, a child people are telling her she never had.
"The Forgotten" was more physically demanding than previous roles for the actress, who has been nominated for an Oscar four times (twice in 2002, for "Far From Heaven" and "The Hours"). Her character does a lot of running and is involved in a couple high-speed car chases. But the physically fit 43-year-old was up for the task. Mostly, though, Moore enjoyed the convenience of filming close to home in New York, where she could enjoy some semblance of a "normal" life with her husband, director Bart Freundlich, and two children, Cal, 6, and Liv, 2.

ENW: Did being a mom help you relate to this character?

Moore: I think so. Every experience you have kind of helps you as an actor. To lose a child is unfathomable. It's probably the most devastating loss anyone could experience. It's something you barely want to entertain. And yet as parents we all think this would be the worst. In a sense, I do have a connection to it because it's everybody's fear.

ENW: You've done a few thrillers before. What's the appeal of this genre?

Moore: Psychological thrillers are most effective when they manage to grab you emotionally at the beginning. And I think this does. You become invested in her and her drama. You question her sanity and her veracity. You really don't know what's going on. It kind of takes you through her whole journey. Once you become invested in a character, the thrills are that much more thrilling and shocking.

ENW: You've played characters questioning their sanity a few times, too.

Moore: Yeah. We all feel that way sometimes. If you have a fight with somebody, you stop and think did I imagine this whole thing? Was I right to get angry? Maybe I'm crazy. It happens to us a lot.

ENW: You do a lot of running in this film. Did you do anything physically to prepare for the role?

Moore: Not really. I run a lot anyway. I enjoy doing all that physical stuff in the film. I didn't have that much time to work out because I'm so busy with the movie and my kids. In a sense, I really enjoyed getting a chance to run all the time.

ENW: Did you bring your kids with you to the set?

Moore: Yeah. We shot it here in New York where I live. They would come, especially when we were shooting outside, and hang around and have lunch. My son was in school part of the time so he was busy with that and less interested in coming. It was like having a real job, being able to leave the house in the morning and come home at night. You feel like you're not working because you're at home (at night).

ENW: This movie is pretty scary. Did you have to explain to Cal what you were doing?

Moore: He won't be allowed to see it. He didn't care. He's 6. They have no interest. As with most families, the children have absolutely no interest in what their parents do for a living. That's how it should be. He knows I'm an actor, but he doesn't want to see my movies. They're for grownups anyway, not for kids. He just wants me to be around.

ENW: Do you think you'll eventually do a movie for kids?

Moore: I would love to. I say that all the time to my agents - I would love to do a great kids' film. That would be really, really nice.

ENW: You have a beautiful and rather provocative pictorial in the September issue of W magazine.

Moore: Thank you. It's one of those things that came out of conversation with people at W. We were talking at a party and I said, "Whenever you do these cover stories you do an interview and a picture." I said, "There's no story. I don't have a story. I live in New York. I have two kids. I'm married. It's so boring. Maybe we can do something else." They called me back and said, "We want to do this thing with narrative photography where basically you are shot in these (fictional) stories by three different photographers - their idea of a mini-movie." I said fine and we did it in like five days. It was great. It was Mario Sorrenti, Michael Thompson and Michel Gondry. It was a lot of fun to do.

ENW: Do you have a favorite photo from the spread?

Moore: I like myself as a blonde a lot. (She laughs.) Maybe the one with me kneeling and the mirrors.

ENW: The nudity wasn't an issue?

Moore: No. It's pretty tame. You don't see very much at all. (Thompson), the man who shot (the nude photo) is my yoga teacher's husband. I've shot with him a lot so I was very comfortable. I knew he wasn't going to do anything that would be revealing in the least. I've had two kids so what the hell?

ENW: You're doing a public service campaign for children's art education. Can you talk about it?

Moore: It's just a little thing I did with Montblanc. I posed for a picture and they donate $1 million to the National Arts Education Initiative, part of the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

ENW: What other philanthropic activities are you involved in?

Moore: I work with a group, the Tubular Sclerosis Alliance, through a family I've gotten to know. Tubular sclerosis is a disease that is more prevalent than people think. It causes the body to grow these benign tumors in vital organs so people who suffer from it often have a lot of seizures and various disorders. It's not as rare as people think. So we're desperately trying to get funding for it right now.

ENW: As a mom, actress and activist, how do you juggle things?

Moore: My son started first grade this morning. My call (to promote the movie) was at 8:30, and I told them I couldn't make that time, but I could be there at 9:30. I spoke to my hair and makeup people and asked if they could do me really fast. They said, of course. So I dropped my son off then ran up here in time. It's basically what every other mom does. On Wednesday, when my daughter starts preschool, I told them I won't be able to do anything that morning. You do your best. You schedule things around your family and take things one day at a time.

ENW: What are you working on now?

Moore: I'm just finishing up a movie called "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio." It's about a mother of 10 who writes jingles and sells them in contests to support her kids.

ENW: Is it a comedy or a drama?

Moore: A little of both. There are some funny moments in it. It's based on a true story.

ENW: You were funny in "Laws of Attraction" with Pierce Brosnan. Do you plan to do more romantic comedies?

Moore: I hope so. It's nice to do movies about people that are falling in love. I wouldn't mind doing one of those again.

ENW: What else do you have lined up? Moore: My husband just got financing for his movie called "Trust the Man." We're shooting that here in New York in late fall. That's the next thing I'm going to do.

ENW: You'll be in it?

Moore: Yes. David Duchovny plays my husband. Billy Crudup plays my brother and Lucy Liu is his girlfriend.

ENW: Is it a comedy?

Moore: Yes. I'm looking forward to it.

ENW: What else is in the works?

Moore: "Savage Grace" with John Malkovich. We're supposed to start shooting next spring.

ENW: Have you worked with John before?

Moore: No. But I met him a couple of times. He's great.

ENW: Is there something else you're looking to do?

Moore: I don't know. I'm taking it one movie at a time. We're going to be moving into a new house this fall so that's preoccupying all my time.

Julianne Moore to Do Public Service Ads @ Yahoo! News(US)

NEW YORK - Julianne Moore wants to give children more time for their imaginations ― and she's doing it one watch at a time.

The 43-year-old actress will appear in a public service campaign bearing the slogan, "Time is Precious: Use it Wisely," seeking to highlight the declining resources available for children's arts education programs and reverse the trend.

With each purchase of a Montblanc watch or pen, the luxury accessory brand will make a contribution to the National Arts Education Initiative, a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF).

The campaign will run in fashion and lifestyle publications starting in October and continue until next March.

Moore has received four Oscar nominations, including best actress nominations for 2002's "Far From Heaven" and 1999's "The End of the Affair," and best supporting actress nominations for 2002's "The Hours" and 1997's "Boogie Nights." Her next film, "The Forgotten," opens Sept. 24.

The EIF is the official charity of the entertainment industry. It also sponsors initiatives for cancer research, cardiovascular research and cessation of smoking.

Montblanc is a nearly century-old designer of jewelry and stationery.

Julianne Goes Nude for W!

August 4, 2004

Four-time Academy Award® nominee JULIANNE MOORE displays three distinct personalities in the new issue of W magazine, on New York newsstands August 6 (and nationwide August 20).

Tonight on ET, we have a sneak preview of Julianne's "triple bill," including the sensual role in which the over-40 Hollywood actress goes nude!

"We set the mood right at the outset in this gorgeous spread where she's wearing nothing but a pair of LOUIS VUITTON shoes with a little fur trim," BRIDGET FOLEY, executive editor of W, tells ET. "It's evocative, it's very sensual, there's that sort of naughty older woman element, but I think it's rendered really exquisitely."

Recruiting coveted fashion photographers MARIO SORRENTI and MICHAEL THOMPSON, along with 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' director MICHEL GONDRY, W presents Julianne in the season's most exciting clothes while playing up to her craft in a trio of "narrative fashion films." Designers participating in the portfolio include YVES SAINT LAURENT RIVE GAUCHE, FRED LEIGHTON, MARC JACOBS, GUCCI, VALENTINO and more.

In Thompson's "Dangerous," the 43-year-old actress poses nude as a seductress, luring in a young, innocent man. In Sorrenti's "The Fall," the red-headed Julianne goes blonde as a fallen heroine who struggles to reconcile passion with devotion. And in Gondry's "The Woman Who Misplaced Her Nose," Julianne taps her comic side in a comic-book style layout as a woman who, well, loses her nose!

"We wanted to take this fabulous actress and have her act for stills," says Foley. "She was so thrilled because it gave her the chance to do something that really no one has done. Certainly, actresses have been photographed ad nauseum for magazines, but never to this degree."

Watch ET for more with Julianne and the September issue of W!

And in Gondry's "The Woman Who Misplaced Her Nose," Julianne taps her comic side in a comic-book style layout as a woman who, well, loses her nose!

"We wanted to take this fabulous actress and have her act for stills," says Foley. "She was so thrilled because it gave her the chance to do something that really no one has done. Certainly, actresses have been photographed ad nauseum for magazines, but never to this degree."

Watch ET for more with Julianne and the September issue of W!
