Sure, she’s a knockout, but it was Julianne Moore’s combination of blazing talent and quiet determination that propelled her from TV soaps to cinema stardom. Now she portrays controversial Sarah Palin in the new HBO movie Game Change while living a game change of her own—a happy family life with her younger husband
by Leah Rozen

Julianne Moore is mad for beavers. (You’re all mature. No sniggering, please.) “I always tell my children”—son Caleb is 14, and daughter Liv turns 10 in April—“that my favorite animal is the beaver, because it’s so industrious,” the actress says. Then she adds, laughing, “And when they grow up, they’ll be, ‘Can you believe she said that all the time?’?”

But Moore is serious. “Beavers don’t seem that industrious when you look at them,” she continues, “but they make those dams, little by little.” She doesn’t just admire the toothy rodents; she identifies with them. “I am diligent,” she says. “That’s one of my qualities: diligence. Not very glamorous, but true.”

Her hard work (she has acted in nearly 50 movies, including Boogie Nights, Far from Heaven, The Kids Are All Rightand last summer’s Crazy, Stupid, Love), combined with Streep-like subtlety, has led to four Oscar nominations and a reputation as an actress who fully inhabits her characters. And her stature will only be enhanced by Game Change, the made-for-HBO movie about Sarah Palin’s vice-presidential run, debuting March 10.

The actress tells Jay Leno that upcoming film is more about 2008 campaign than a critique of Palin

While current and former aides to Sarah Palin lashed out last month, calling the upcoming film’s depictions of Palin as “sick” and “inaccurate,” Moore insists “Game Change” is not a slash-and-burn portrayal of Republican politics during the 2008 presidential campaign. The movie, like the 2010 book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann it’s based on, focuses on the schism between GOP candidate John McCain and his running mate.

Julianne Moore fully immersed herself in character while preparing for her upcoming role.

The 51-year-old Oscar-nominated actress portrays American politician and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in HBO’s political drama Going Rogue.

The film based on the eponymous book by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin follows the 2008 US presidential election in which Senator John McCain invited Sarah to be his running mate against Barack Obama.

Julianne went all out to authentically depict the politician.

“I listened to her book on tape, Going Rogue, I went on YouTube and found all of her media appearances, all the speeches, debates, the convention speeches, and put them all on my iPod,” Julianna explained to host Jay Leno on his American late-night TV talk programme The Tonight Show Thursday. “I wiped everything off except for [Vanilla Ice's 1990s track] Ice Ice Baby, which is the song that my daughter ice-skated to.”

Julianne’s two children were mortified by the sounds emanating from their mother’s iPod.

“My 14-year-old son was really embarrassed by that,” Julianne laughed. “There is nothing worse than a mum who has nothing but Sarah Palin and Ice Ice Baby on her iPod. I’d put it on in the car, I’d listen to it when I was running. I’d listen to it constantly. It was really a total immersion.”

Julianne altered her physical appearance drastically for this film.

“Everything had to change – my skin tone, the shape of my face, my lips, my eyes, I wore contact lenses,” Julianne shared. “Everything was completely changed.”

Sarah Palin’s current and former aides have lashed out against the movie, complaining that Julianne’s portrayal is nothing more than caricature.

Julianne refutes this assumption, as the actress feels the film comments on broader American issues.

“It’s about the campaign. It’s also about how we elect our leader,” Julianne said. “It’s more of a portrait of this particular time in history, of this particular campaign, than it is about Sarah Palin.”

Going Rogue starring Julianne, Woody Harrelson and Ed Harris premieres on HBO in America on March 10.
