Executive summary: Boogie Nights, Short Cuts As a child, Julianne Moore's family moved dozens of times due to her father's career in the Army. She was the short, non-athletic girl who wore glasses. While attending high school in Germany, she cut her hair, replaced her glasses with contact lenses, and was surprised by the change in the way people treated her. Still, early in her career, Moore was told that she was not attractive enough to succeed in the movies. Her first professional acting jobs were in off-Broadway productions, but she soon got a role in the soap opera The Edge of Night. From there, she moved into a duel role as half sisters Frannie (the good one) and Sabrina (the evil one) on another soap, As the World Turns, for which she received an Emmy as "Outstanding Ingenue" in 1988.
She made her prime time acting debut in a glitzy-trashy miniseries of Judith Krantz's I'll Take Manhattan, starring Valerie Bertinelli. Her first movie was Slaughterhouse II, an abysmal Canadian thriller from 1988, and her first American film role came two years later, as a mummy's victim in Tales from the Dark Side: The Movie When she was rejected for a role in Robert Altman's The Player, it wasn't because she was not pretty enough. Instead, producers told her she was "too beautiful".
During the 1990s, though, Moore was the one of the busiest actors in Hollywood, filming 24 movies, including Louis Malle's Vanya on 42nd Street and Nine Months, where she played Hugh Grant's pregnant girlfriend. She was the suspicious doctor in The Fugitive with Harrison Ford, and in Altman's Short Cuts, Moore delivered a long, confessional monologue to her husband, played by Matthew Modine, while she was nude from the waist down. That people remember what she was saying is a testament to her skill as an actress.
She has never shied away from nudity, appearing at least partially nude in five movies, including a memorable sex scene with Mark Wahlberg in Boogie Nights, with Moore telling him to "Come inside me".
