Julianne Moore may have become one of the most popular stars of Hollywood, but the actress says she struggled for years to get a role in a movie.
The actress says she believed her Hollywood career was over before she found success in an "independent film", reported Femalefirst.
"I could not book a movie. I was like; a movie career is not going to happen for me. Movies in the '80s were, they were doing things in the '80s like, what's that one with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover? 'Lethal Weapon.' Those were the years, '80s movies were like that.
"So, I was not a '80s movie person. I thought, well, I'm going to have a career in theatre and maybe some television. Suddenly, independent film happened. It was like this whole world opened up. When those three movies came out at the same time, I went from being a TV actress to suddenly being a film actress," Moore, 56, says.
