10 Actors Who Make Everything They're In Better
2. Julianne Moore
Julianne Moore has been around for so long it can be easy to forget how much she's achieved, and how many exemplary performances she's given us over the years. Typically found in indie dramas, she's also spread her talents to rom-coms, dystopian thrillers, and horror flicks.
A deeply compassionate actress who can usually be found playing strong but challenged women in the midst of a crisis - whether she's facing Alzheimer's in Still Alice or trying to balance her career as a porn actress with being a mother in Boogie Nights - she's able to be incredibly moving, but also wise and wickedly funny.
For every masterpiece she stars in though (Magnolia, The Big Lebowski, Children of Men), there's also a dud or two in her back catalogue. But Moore's so good that she manages to give poor films such as The Forgotten, Carrie and Non-Stop a compelling character to latch onto.
Authoritative, vulnerable, and always wonderfully human, Julianne Moore is one actress you can always count on to keep even the worst film afloat.
