Throughout her career, she has been nominated for four Oscars, six Golden Globes, three BAFTAs and nine Screen Actors Guild Awards. She began to appear in supporting roles in films during the early 1990s, in films such as The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and The Fugitive. Her mother, the late Anne McNeil McLean (née Love), was a psychiatric social worker who emigrated from Greenock, Scotland, and her father, Peter Moore Smith, a New Jersey native, was a military lawyer, judge, helicopter pilot, and army colonel. She received her bachelor’s degree at the College of Fine Arts at Boston University. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Moore appeared in a series of films that received Oscar recognition, including her roles in Boogie Nights (1997, Best Supporting Actress nomination), The End of the Affair (1999, Best Actress nomination), and her two 2002 films, The Hours (Best Supporting Actress nomination) and Far from Heaven (Best Actress nomination), for which she also won “Best Actress” from no less than 16 critics groups, more than any other actress that year (see below for a list), and from the Venice Film Festival. Entertainment Weekly has chosen her one of The 25 Greatest Actresses of the ’90s. It’s a rattling, heartrending performance in, yes, a long, hard slough of a film – one that is well worth the journey, if not a repeat trip.” The next year, Moore appeared opposite Colin Firth in the well-received American drama A Single Man, for which she received her fifth Golden Globe nomination, with Peter Travers of Rolling Stone calling her performance “explosively good”.
