Julianne Moore Gets Chatty

Gorgeous redhead Julianne Moore is respected as an actress with enormous range. Once lauded for playing twin sisters on the soap As the World Turns, Moore later launched a film career that has resulted in two Oscar nominations in the same year (2003 -- best actress for Far from Heaven and best supporting actress for The Hours). In addition, her work as a tortured lover in The End of the Affair and as a porn queen in Boogie Nights earned her Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Academy Award nominations.

First turning to the indie film world for juicy roles, Julianne scored an Independent Spirit Award for Todd Haynes's Safe and met her husband, director Bart Freundlich, while filming The Myth of Fingerprints. She has also done mainstream blockbuster films like The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Ridley Scott's Hannibal, and she recently wrapped The Forgotten, a thriller. Never having done a pure romantic comedy, the actress was flattered and excited when hot, handsome actor Pierce Brosnan requested her to play his love interest in Laws of Attraction, a Tracy/Hepburn-style love/hate film about two New York divorce attorneys who mix like oil and water.
