Julie Anne Smith was born on December 3, 1960, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Her father, Peter Moore Smith, a paratrooper in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, attained the rank of colonel and became a military judge. Her mother, Anne (née Love 1940–2009), was a psychologist and social worker from Greenock, Scotland, who had migrated with her family to the United States in 1951. Moore has a younger sister and a younger brother, the novelist Peter Moore Smith. Having a Scottish mother, Moore claimed British citizenship in 2011 in her honor.

Due to her father's occupation, Moore frequently moved around the United States as a child. She was close with her family as a result, but says that she never had the feeling of coming from one particular place. The family lived in multiple locations including Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Panama, Nebraska, Alaska, New York, and Virginia, and Moore attended nine different schools. The constant moving around made her an insecure child, and she struggled to establish friendships. In spite of the difficulties, Moore has remarked that an itinerant lifestyle was beneficial to her future career: "When you move around a lot, you learn that behavior is mutable. I would change, depending on where I was... It teaches you to watch, to reinvent, that character can change."

When Moore was 16, the family moved from Falls Church, Virginia, where Moore was attending J.E.B. Stuart High School, to Frankfurt, West Germany, where she went to Frankfurt American High School. She was clever and studious, a self-proclaimed "good girl", and she planned to become a doctor. She had never considered performing or even attending the theater, but she was an avid reader which led her to begin acting in school productions. Moore appeared in several plays including Tartuffe and Medea, and with the encouragement of her English teacher, she chose to pursue a theatrical career. Her parents supported her decision, but asked that she train at a university to provide the added security of a college degree. She was accepted into the Boston University College of Fine Arts in Boston and graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in theater.

Early life and education

Actor and stage director John Gould Rubin was Moore's first husband. They met in 1984 and married two years later. They separated in 1993 and their divorce was finalized in August 1995. "I got married too early and I really didn't want to be there", she has since said. Moore began a relationship with Bart Freundlich, her director on The Myth of Fingerprints, in 1996. They married on August 23, 2003, and live in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. Moore has two children with Freundlich: a son who was born in 1997 and a daughter who was born in 2002. Moore commented, "We have a very solid family life, and it is the most satisfying thing I have ever done." Moore spoke about how it affected her career choices while her children were young, saying she selected roles which were practical for her as a parent and did not require her to be away for extended periods of time.

Moore was featured in Finding Your Roots on PBS Researchers mapped Moore's family tree and analyzed her DNA. When Moore's friend, actor Marisa Tomei did the same, Tomei and Moore learned they are genetic cousins. Moore is an atheist; when asked on Inside the Actors Studio what God might say to her upon arrival in heaven, she gave God's response as, "Well, I guess you were wrong, I do exist."

Moore is politically liberal and endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections. She is a pro-choice activist and sits on the board of advocates for Planned Parenthood. She is a campaigner for gay rights and gun control, and since 2008, she has been an Artist Ambassador for Save the Children. She works with Everytown for Gun Safety. Moore opposes Donald Trump's immigration policies, and in 2020 she supported Joe Biden for president. Moore is a supporter of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students in Parkland, Florida, who organized the March For Our Lives. She helped release a music video for the group.

Moore has said that she finds little value in the concept of celebrity and is concerned with living a "normal" life. After meeting her, Suzie Mackenzie dubbed Moore as "the most unostentatious of stars." Moore attracts little gossip or tabloid attention, and she is humble about her profession ("it's just a person with a job") and casual in her appearance. Moore is known for maintaining a natural image and refrains from botox and plastic surgery. "I feel like it doesn't make people look any younger. It makes them look like they've had surgery", she said in 2009; "It's an aesthetic that's not human."
