To say that celebrated actor Julianne Moore moved home a few times during her childhood would be something of an understatement. Because of her father's active military career, the family would move 23 times before Moore left home. She was even born at Fort Bragg, in North Carolina! Because she never had roots anywhere and couldn't form long-lasting relationships with any of her childhood friends, Moore describes herself as something of a loner as a child.
Perhaps because of her difficult upbringing, Moore has displayed a superb ability to play troubled women during her professional career. She's capable of playing comedic roles, but seems to find more fulfillment in more serious acting parts in movies like 'Children of Men,' 'The Kids Are All Right,' and 'Maps to the Stars.' Her crowning moment arrived in 2015, when she won the 'Best Actress' Oscar for 'Still Alice,' in which she played a woman suffering from early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
