Juanita Moore (October 19, 1914 – January 1, 2014) was an American film, television, and stage actress. She was the fifth African American to be nominated for an Academy Award in any category, and the third in the Supporting Actress category at a time when only a single African American had won an Oscar. Her most famous role was as Annie Johnson in the movie ''Imitation of Life'' (1959).〔(Juanita Moore Dead at 99; starred in Imitation of Life )〕 ==Early life and career== Juanita Moore was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, the daughter of Ella (née Dunn) and Harrison Moore. She had seven siblings, (six sisters and one brother).〔(Juanita Moore New York Times Obituary ) retrieved 3/2/2015〕 Her family moved in the Great Migration to Los Angeles, where she was raised. Moore first performed as a dancer, part of a chorus girl at the Cotton Club before becoming a film extra while working in theater. After making her film debut in ''Pinky'' (1949),〔 Moore had a number of bit parts and supporting roles in motion pictures through the 1950s and 1960s. Her role in the remake of ''Imitation of Life'' (1959) as African-American housekeeper Annie Johnson, whose daughter Sarah Jane (Susan Kohner) passes for white, won her a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for the role.〔(Golden Globe Awards: Juanita Moore )〕 When the two versions of ''Imitation of Life'' were released together on DVD (the earlier film was released in 1934), one of the bonus features was a new interview with Juanita Moore. Moore continued to act for film and TV, with a role in the movie ''Disney's The Kid'' (2000), and guest-starring roles on television shows ''Dragnet'', ''Adam-12'', ''Marcus Welby, M.D.'', ''ER'' and ''Judging Amy''. On April 23, 2010, a new print of ''Imitation of Life'' (1959) was screened at the Turner Classic Movies Film Festival in Los Angeles, an event to which both Moore and co-star Kohner were invited. After the screening, the two women appeared on stage for a question-and-answer session hosted by TCM's Robert Osborne. Moore and Kohner received standing ovations.〔(Four Days at the TCM Classic Film Festival )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juanita Moore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
