Let’s take a trip down memory lane to 1998, when Julianne Moore and John Turturro delivered unforgettable performances in the Coen Brothers’ classic, The Big Lebowski.

When it came to tackling some of the more intimate scenes in the film, Julianne and John were both committed to bringing authenticity to the screen. “Truth and honesty are so crucial in this movie,” Julianne explained. “We wanted the audience to feel the realness of the characters’ connection, and that meant going all in, even with the more vulnerable moments.”
John Turturro Steps Into the Spotlight as a Romantic Lead
For John, taking on the role of a romantic lead marked a departure from his usual character-driven performances. “I’ve always been the guy playing quirky supporting roles, but this was different,” John said, laughing. “But hey, I’ve got real-life experience in this area. I’ve been married to the talented Katherine Borowitz since 1985, so I know a thing or two about love.”
Reflecting on her three-plus decades in the industry, Julianne acknowledges the challenges of finding meaningful roles today. “It’s tough out there for everyone, regardless of age or gender,” she admitted during a 2016 interview with Marie Claire. “The film industry isn’t really focused on crafting great roles for actors. It’s more about making movies that will rake in the big bucks.”
