Actress Julianne Moore Honored At Coolidge Corner Theatre

BROOKLINE, MA — If you haven't walked past the Coolidge Corner Theatre recently, you may have missed the signals: the posters, the special screening of her latest film, "Gloria Bell." It all points to the actress Julianne Moore.

On Thursday evening at 8 p.m., the Academy Award-winning actress walked onstage and welcomed a packed audience into her thoughts on acting, her memories of the Brookline Art Deco movie house and family.

"My daughter, when I asked her why she didn't go out for the play she said 'because that's for losers, mom,'" Moore shared to laughter in the audience.

She was then presented with the Coolidge Corner Theatre's 13th annual Coolidge Award.

"We're delighted to have her here," Katherine Tallman, executive director of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, told Patch recently.

Among her awards, she has won an Academy Award, a British Academy Film Award, a Daytime Emmy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, two Golden Globe Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

She and Juliette Binoche are the only two actresses to win the European "Best Actress Triple Crown" for wins at the Berlin, Cannes and Venice film festivals.
