What year was Julianne Moore born?

Julianne Moore was born in 1960, specifically on December 3, in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Her birth name was Julie Anne Smith. She later adopted the professional name Julianne Moore after moving into acting, partly because another performer was already using a similar name. Her father’s military career meant that Moore spent parts of her childhood in numerous locations before studying acting at Boston University.

Moore became widely known for acclaimed performances in films such as Boogie Nights, The Hours, Far from Heaven, and Still Alice. Her role in Still Alice earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2015. She has also worked extensively in television and is an author of children’s books.

A common mix-up is confusing Julianne Moore with Julianne Phillips, another American actress born in 1960. The year is the same, but their exact birthdays and careers are different. Moore’s December 3, 1960 birth date is consistently recorded in major biographical references.
