Vale – Juanita Moore

Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated actress Juanita Moore has passed away.

Ms Moore, who appeared in 1959’s Imitation Of Life, was nominated for both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her performance in that film, as the mother of a fair-skinned African American woman who pretends to be white. Her co-star in that film, Susan Kohner, was also nominated for both an Oscar and a Golden Globe (going on to win the latter).

Ms Moore, who appeared in numerous films and television series throughout her career, passed away on January 1st, in her LA home, aged 99.

Rodney Twelftree

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
