Juanita Moore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Juanita Moore (born October 19, 1922 in Los Angeles, California) is an Academy Award-nominated African-American actress.

Moore had a number of bit parts and supporting roles in motion pictures through the 1950s and 1960s. Her most famous role was as housekeeper Annie Johnson in the 1959 color remake of Imitation of Life. Moore's portrayal of the broken-hearted Annie, whose daughter Sarah Jane (played by Susan Kohner) passes for white, won her a nomination for the 1960 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Kohner won a nomination for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar as well.

Moore was the fourth African American to be nominated for an Academy Award in any category, and the third in the Supporting Actress category.

After a 25-year hiatus, Moore returned to acting in 2000 in The Kid.
