"Revlon's Token Redhead is a versatile actress, charitable activist, and extinction-level MILF. She has a lot of freckles even for a redhead, probably because every time she steps outside God brings the sun out to get a better look. Her sex scenes have gotten so taboo they're no longer even erotic. I fully expect her next film to feature a bewildered Liam Neeson trying to make love to her as she claps two rocks down on an unsuspecting jar of apricot preserves."
Julie Anne Smith (born December 3, 1960 in Fort Bragg, North Carolina), better known as Julianne Moore, is a redheaded American-British actor and author. Her performances have earned her an enormous amount of critical acclaim, including five Academy Award nominations. She finally won Best Actress in a Leading Role for Still Alice in 2015.
Moore was married to John Gould Rubin from 1986 to 1995. She has been married to Bart Freundlich since 2003, and has two children with him. Her younger brother is the writer Peter Moore Smith. In 2019, the documentary series Finding Your Roots discovered that Moore and fellow actress Marisa Tomei are cousins.

Her work provides examples of:
- Evil Redhead: Her antagonist roles, obviously.
- Fiery Redhead: Majority of her roles. She practically built her career playing these.
- Money, Dear Boy: Her stated reason for doing The Lost World: Jurassic Park, as she was trying to pay off the exorbitant divorce settlement that had been awarded to her ex-husband.
- Also Awesome, Dear Boy as she was extremely excited to work with Steven Spielberg and she admitted she enjoyed herself tremendously.
- Ms. Fanservice: A number of her films involve her doing nudity.
- Older Than They Look: She's in her early sixties, but looks around 2 decades younger.
- She Also Did: She wrote several children's books. Her first book, Freckleface Strawberry, was a New York Times Best Seller.
- Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Unlike her auburn hair, not that many notice due them being of a dim color, but she has natural green eyes, making her a born version of this trope.
- Stage Names: As noted above, she was born Julie Anne Smith. Since that name was already taken, she put "Julie" and "Anne" together, and added her father's middle name, "Moore".
- Star-Making Role: Short Cuts launched her career.
