"An actress like Julie, she's not faking it when she's performing; she's feeling the things that the character's feeling. It's a difficult thing to do and it's a fine line, but an audience can tell it right away," Gordon-Levitt praised of Moore in his speech.

Moore made her acting beginnings on television in the mid-'80s with the long-running soap opera As the World Turns, nabbing a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in 1988.
