Character bio: In The Hours, Julianne Moore plays one of three women, each in a different time period, in a trio of interconnected story lines. Here, Moore plays Laura Brown, a California housewife in the 1950s who is tormented by her inability to find happiness with her husband and son. Her performance is entirely original, dark and troubling.
