The Oscar-Winning Star Of The New Movie Gloria Bell Reflects On Marriage, Motherhood And Finding True Happiness.
Julianne Moore has played a professor struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, an heiress who seduces her own son and a porn star, among other daring roles. But when the 58-year-old Oscar winner was asked to dance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she got a real case of stage fright. “I’m not a natural dancer,” says Moore, who plays a woman who lives to disco in the new movie Gloria Bell. “Having to dance is like arrrgh! ” But she boogies with abandon in the film, as a divorced woman struggling to find happiness and romance in midlife. Moore, who has long been married to filmmaker Bart Freundlich, 49, immediately connected with her character. “I love her vivacity and her desire to always try new things,” she says. Moore shares that sense of adventure. “I love my job because I’m always forced to learn something that I’m not familiar with,” says the Manhattan-based mother of Liv, 16, and Caleb, 21. The star recently shared the life lessons that help guide her with People. Tip No. 1: Get your groove on, even if it means stepping outside your comfort zone. It’s opening herself up to new experiences, says Moore, that “makes me feel more alive than anything.”
