Juanita Moore

A Star Without a Star is a stirring and deeply personal documentary that honors the life, legacy, and trailblazing career of Juanita Moore — one of Hollywood’s most remarkable yet under-recognized actresses. Best known for her unforgettable, Oscar-nominated portrayal of Annie Johnson in Imitation of Life (1959), Moore broke barriers as only the fifth Black performer ever nominated for an Academy Award at a time when opportunities for actors of color were severely limited.
