Julianne Moore OF GAME CHANGE ON HBO Q: Someone told me that Julianne Moore started her career on a soap opera. Is that true? A: Yes … two of them, in fact. Her earliest professional credit is “The Edge of Night,” on which she appeared for several episodes in 1984. Soon afterward, she joined “As the World Turns,” playing the dual roles of Frannie Hughes and her look-alike relative Sabrina. She earned a Daytime Emmy Award for her work on that show, which she did continuously from 1985 to 1988; she then made a return appearance in 2010. Moore began doing primetime TV parts during her “As the World Turns” run, notably opposite Valerie Bertinelli in the 1987 miniseries “I’ll Take Manhattan,” then she was hired for TV-movies including “Money, Power, Murder” and “The Last to Go.” Around the same time, she also moved into theatrical films with “Tales From the Darkside: The Movie” and “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle,” and that became her principal venue from the early 1990s forward, with her eventual win of an Academy Award for best actress for “Still Alice” (2014). After doing guest stints along the way on “Saturday Night Live” and “Sesame Street,” Moore made a particularly significant return to TV by playing former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin in the 2012 HBO project “Game Change.” She won a Primetime Emmy Award for the dramatization of the 2008 election season, with Ed Harris playing Sen. John McCain, who chose Palin as his running mate
