- Juanita Moore 1999 Interview Part 1 of 3. Videographed by Luke Sacher, interviewed by Carole Langer. Please excuse the time code placed on Ms. Moore's forehead- we had them made at a dubbing house rather than making them ourselves- as we did with ALL the other interview dubs- IDIOTS! LOL!
Juanita Moore (born October 19, 1922) is an American film and television actress. She is the fifth African American to be nominated for an Academy Award in any category, and the third in the Supporting Actress category.
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 remake of Imitation of Life. Moore's portrayal of the broken-hearted Annie, whose daughter Sarah Jane (Susan Kohner) passes for white, won her a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. When the two-movie version of Imitation of Life was released on DVD one of the bonus features was a new interview with Juanita Moore.
Moore has continued to perform in front of the camera, with a role in the movie Disney's The Kid (2000) and guest-starring roles on television shows Marcus Welby, M.D., ER and Judging Amy.
Moore's grandson is actor/producer Kirk Kelley-Kahn, who is CEO/President of "Cambridge Players - Next Generation", a theatre troupe whose founding members included Moore, Esther Rolle, Helen Martin, Lynn Hamilton and Royce Wallace. - Фільми й анімація

How this woman did not win the Oscar for her performance in Imitation of Life is an Outrage. I loved her in that movie.
laarbe I totally 100% agree
@laarbe
She didn't win because of HATE. ;(
I agree. She should have won an Oscar. Her relationship with Lana in the movie was emotionally intimate as friends.
Indeed!
Juanita Moore was an incredible actress in this movie. I loved her dearly. What a wonderful part she had and probably is a wonderful soul as you can see.
I just found out today Juanita Moore had pass away, I'm still in shock.
99 years old, she had a long life God Bless her
sammy7819 yea she lived a good life most of us will not even see 99. Loved her in imitation of life. Which I truly believe she should of won an Oscar for her role. Rip j moore

Was just thinking that myself Yvonne 😀
Yes, she's very beautiful and motherly. She displays loving effections motherly love and saintly. I'm half white and half black myself.
One of the MOST BEAUTIFUL actresses of all time....what a beautiful part she played as Annie Johnson ......I cried a lot during her passing and funeral...WOW......what a well known person she was in her town in the movie.....Lana had no idea how known she must have been. Such a gorgeous movie. Beautiful people played in this movie. Steve played by John Gavin.....was a handsome man.....should have been a law against looking so handsome and dashing. Still today a very handsome man.
One of my ALL TIME MOST FAVORITE Movies.....
Thanks for the Post. RIP Ms Moore.

My mum lived the imitation of life movie. It sometimes is played back to back with Msdam X need lots of tissues for these two 💦 weepie movies
Yes Juanita was beautiful. I also cried during the funeral scene, it was so real. This is a great interview, shes just like the way she was in the movie! soft spoken and a lovely lady.
What an absolutely beautiful lady. I loved her in Imitation of Life. R.I.P lovely lady x
I just seen Juanita on TMC today Imitation of life. Juanita was a very talented Actress, it's so sad hollywood didn't have more work for this Oscar worthy Actress..
Juanita should've gotten the Oscar for her work, by the end of the movie everyone in my house was crying when Annie died and her funeral .Great Actress..
All because of HATE that she didn't win and always given roles unbecoming of her immense talents as blacks were and many brown people.
What a lovely woman. She should have won an Oscar. Shame on you Hollywood
Lovely lady .... I wish she'd done more films.
"Imitation" is a wonderful film. . The dressing-room scene tears your heart apart.
Indeed! with Susan Kohner... Thanks for tuning in
Such a lovely lady!....she was amazing as Annie in Imitation of Life...wonderful caring character and at the end of the film....CRIED MY EYES OUT!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Amen
A wonderful actress, a wonderful human being, a shining example of humbleness. May God bless and keep her safe in his arms xxx

I just watched "Imitation of Life", still brings me tears. I see that Ms. Juanita is still living. What a beautiful day.
I don't care how many times I watch this movie, I bawl my eyes out every time.... listening to Juanita talk about Lana, it sounds like Annie talking about Laura.... a true friendship between two amazing women.... this is a brilliant, heartbreaking movie....
Imitation of Life is one of those rare perfect movies which will always have a special place in my heart.
Rest in Peace, "Annie".
Thanks for tuning in, and your sympathies! She outlived everyone- because her heart was true. :)

LOUISE BEAVER 1902-1962
JUANITA WHITE 1914-2014
ARE THE TOP GREATEST AFRICAN AMERICAN ACTRESSES IN HOLLYWOOD OF THE 1930s/,1940s/ 1950s/ they paved the way for so meny and were treated so cruelly and disrespected to badly, they were stereotyped, pigeon Toed to play only one part and were not paid what they deserved and went through so much hatered and racism, they were black actresses at the core of segregation. They were extroardinary actresses who broke barriers and were very strong women. They need monuments of them and statues to remember them. I hate that they are never mentioned as great actresses. My they all RIP. Juanita Sweetheart you deserved that Oscar, you were incredible in the " Imitation of Life" movie...you made me cry, I got so so emotional, your performance was mind blowing amazing...I watch that movie and have loved it ever since. You were robbed of that Oscar.
I'm so sad to hear this even though you can only live so long and she certainly had a very good and long life. Rest In Peace Miss Moore!
Thanks for tuning in, and your sympathies! She outlived everyone- because her heart was true. :)
Just a beatiful spirit !

One of the finest actresses in my opinion. Love watching these short interviews of Juanita.
I'm watching it now on TCM. It has always been a favorite of mine. Every time I watch it it still gives me the same emotional responses.
U can tell they had chemistry n that heart felt movie
Oh my I love her so much on Imitation of Life which I just watched today. What a beautiful film and all the stars in it were just excellent.
Lovely Juanita Moore. How graceful, how totally graceful she was! I will always have her Annie in my heart. God bless her.
Dear Ricardo- thanks for tuning in and commenting- we appreciate it most sincerely. :)
She seemed like such a sweet lady. Exudes such warmth and sincerity, very similar to the Annie character. Glad Juanita had such a long life.
💖💖💖
"Whatever my name was in the movie".... priceless!!
I went to see this movie with my mother when I was twelve. I cried like a baby through the whole movie. I cry even harder now because my mom is gone. She used to work my nerves but I miss her in my own way. I love is many things to do many people.
Thank you for tuning in, Lola, and for your kind and heartwarming comment.
We do appreciate it very, very much...

Best movie mom EVER! I love you Juanita! I watched this beautiful movie with my late grandmother so many times. Always brings tears to my eyes and I love it more and more each times. God bless!
I was shocked three years ago by the death of Juanita Moore on New Year's Day, 2014. Would have been 100, but fell short. She will always be Annie Johnson. May she R.I.P, and thanks for this video.
Beautiful lady love her acting RIP.
ive been watching this since 7yrs old my mom made us and i still love it, such a tear jerker, Ms Moore Ms Moore

Juanita is a beautiful woman inside and out. I'm 62, have watched this movie countless times, sometimes getting in on the last 20 minutes of it and it still pulls something out of me that leaves me crying even after it's ended. Now that's acting!!! Should have gotten an Oscar!!! God bless you Juanita! I hope you know how loved you are!!!
Should have won an Oscar.
They dont give Oscar's to the best !!!
They give Oscar's to the ones they like!
I have so fallen under the spell of this majestic movie. Juanita Moore is someone most special. Truly, they aren't making people like this any more! To be so moved by this film, made so very long ago, and then, with the flip of a few keys be able to have JM talk to me about the experience of IMITATION OF LIFE some 40 years later is a gift not to be taken for granted. How gracious, gentle, thoughtful and kind is she. Her words held me kind of spell-bound, taking me back to the time & place of the movie. Her appreciation of Lana Turner is so obviously heart-felt and true. I imagine these two actresses, in continuing their friendship over the years, if they didn't see each other often when they did they would be a special bond that nothing could break. Lovely. A final thought is that in having Annie die so grandly in this film from 1958, what a surprise to find her still up and around to talk to us in 1999, going on to celebrate her 99th birthday but a few years ago. That's the way to do it, Juanita Moore! Always in our hearts...

So wonderful to hear that Lana was as beautiful inside as she was outside! Great interview about two great actresses!
Rest in Paradise Ms Moore. Thank you for your contribution to my favorite movie, Imitation of Life!
Thanks for tuning in and your kind words- we are being swamped with sympathies and condolences... sorry for the delay in replying. :)
Have you seen the 1934 version?
No, I haven't seen the 1934 version. I've heard it was out there but I've never been interested in seeing it! Ms Moore, I can't imagine anyone else in her role! Even her real life disposition that comes across in this video warms my heart. Ms Moore seems to not have had to 'act' any differently than who she really was as a person. She seemed to be the sweetest lady! She reminds me so much of my grandmother who passed away 24 years ago, December 1989, around the age of 81.

She’s so beautiful. Her voice...so lovely.
She has such a good memory
Juanita Moore was the absolute epitome of modesty, grace, beauty & dignity...I think in her own life she was very much like her character, Annie Johnson...A kind & gentle woman...
"Imitation of Life" will always be one of my top, favorite films of it's time....I agree with former commenter, "Iaarbe," that Miss Moore should certainly have at least been seriously considered for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar award...Bless her memory...
I will always love you RIP Juanita Moore.
She was the best of the best... so sweet, and generous. It was an honor to meet her. Thanks for tuning in and your kind words- we are being swamped with sympathies and condolences... sorry for the delay in replying. :)
What a beautiful graceful woman! She was so regal and majestic in the movie and you could see every line in her face and eyes! Those eyes- just something about them that pulls at your heart- it's almost too much to look into them- kinda like looking at the sun.
NOW THIS is a rare interview!!! What a great idea to sit down with her, she is LOVELY! She has barely aged in this interview, still a beautiful woman. I wonder if she ever did any narration or voice over work, I could listen to her voice for ages... I bet she could sing too :)
Thank you Mrs. Juanita, and happy Lana was your friend.
Thank you for tuning in, Lola, and for your kind and heartwarming comment.
We do appreciate it very, very much...

Yes, Ms. Moore, it absolutely was and is a Classic!
I love this movie, I cry every time Annie (Juanita Moore) dies. It really touches your heart! Lana Turner and Juanita Moore made my childhood with this movie, even though I'm only 16, I always loved this movie.
She was a beautiful lady inside and out. Great actress very underrated. Rest in piece J.M.
Thanks for your lovely words, Coach. Blessings to you and yours.
Juanita Moore is a sweet, lovely lady and a great actress! I also love how nice she spoke about Lana Turner in this interview. Thanks for posting!
One of the Best movies I have ever seen!!
she was a beautiful lady and such a sweet heart you can tell
Imitation of life, I just saw it yesterday and she was awesom.
Juanita Moore was sensational in "Imitation of Life"! Her characterization of Annie was so loving. She had a tremendous presence on the screen.
RIP Juanita Moore.
Just watching Juanita Moore in an episode of Adam-12. Last thing I saw her in was Disney's The Kid. She was such a sweet human being.
She seems to be just as sweet and humble in real life as she was in the movie. It’s Christmas Day and I’m in Guam after my daughter just got married. I don’t know why but I want to watch this movie with them before I leave and go back to San Diego. RIP Ms. Moore❤️
She was beautiful and a fantastic actress💝
Ms. Moore is such an amazing woman. I agree with what another poster said... I too could listen to her voice all day. Imitation of Life is my absolute most favorite movie of all time. Juanita Moore's performance is really what made me hooked on this version. She is so exquisite and talented. I watched the original and found it unworthy but this 1959 remake was truly remarkable. Lana Turner indeed was a beauty. God's continuous blessings to Ms. Juanita Moore always. Smooches to her, muah!
God bless her soul, she's such an inspiration and still as beautiful as ever :)
She was a beautiful and humble lady.
What a great lady!! Not a pretentious bone in her body! God bless you Juanita!!
She was so adorable
Thanks again Luke, I will be sure to check it out. I love all of the
movies of Ms. Turner, especially the ones you named along with
Madame X and Peyton Place too. Just like Ms. Moore said, Lana
Turner was a Star, and she was definitely right, and a beautiful one
too. I know there were other movies similar to "Imitation Of Life" but
the one filmed in 1959, will always be my favorite. I loved the whole cast of that one. Thanks for responding! I really appreciate it.
What a beautiful person I love her😊❤❤❤
Wow - Juanita appears to be just as beautiful in real life as her character was ❤
I always thought she was such a doll❤
An ageless beauty...."Imitation Of Life" the best classic movie ever!.........R.I.P. ....
Ms. Lana Turner and Sandra Dee.
She was wonderful in this movie Imitation of Life movie wouldn't have been the same with that Juanita
Omg! She was sweet all the way until the end. What an awesome lady rest in heaven. You deserve your star.
Watching this interview, I realize that Juanita Moore wasn't an accomplished actress - she was a dear, loving, giving soul who shone out in that particular part. Juanita playing Juanita. Bless her dear heart.
Juanita was my favorite character in that movie........she made the movie......but what a tear jerker it was
Just touched my heart...Imitation Of Life is by far my favorite film ever and to see Ms. Moore so vibrant and entertaining is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing!! This is an amazing interview.
Oh wow, I didn't know that! I have watched 'A Daughter's Memoir' several times now and it is, hands down, one of the BEST documentaries I have ever seen and even people who don't have an Old Hollywood obsession like myself would enjoy it very much. I REALLY, REALLY believe that Lana loved her daughter with everything in her soul... she just happened to be picked out by the God's to be one of the biggest stars in the world and that complicates normal family life, to say the least!
She passed away last year at 99
Rest in Peace and Rest In Power, dear Ms. Juanita ❤❤❤🙏✝️🌅💯
I'm so glad I found this video!! I fell in love with this woman when my folks made us watch classic films when we were young to appreciate good film etc. Annie Johnson was so motherly and loving and caring and made me want to love my own mom even MORE just because of the way she acted with her character. Juanita Moore is the type of woman I would love to have around to tell me stories and just spend time with her. Yeah I loved Imitation of Life!!! I'm a huge fan of this woman and introduced my stepdaughter to the film and she as well fell in love with the character Annie Johnson. Yes this is a treat and thank you for uploading this. : )

And you, Larry! :) My pleasure- on behalf of Juanita.
I've seen Imitation of Life soo many times, i know each line in the movie word for word. This is the first time i've seen an interview of Juanita Moore...she's amazing. She reminds me a lot of my mom (R.I.P) and aunties. Thanks for uploading!
i was just disapointed, i wanted to hear about Juanita not Lana. but thanks anyway. and i am soooooooooooo grateful for your other interviews
Robert Bolla um...that’s because it was a documentary about Lana
THANKS
You.
Are fantastic. And you too are gracious.
I'm half white and half black myself, so I can truly relate to this classic movie. Juanita Moore was very beautiful, caring, saintly, and very effectionate. Oh by the way, I struggle and suffered with my inner self, and was told not to choose, but to be MYSELF from God above. PEACE.
For the past couple days I've just been watching these interviews. They are fantastic and soo insightful. Thanks for posting! Too bad people didn't get interviews like this early enough for people like Irene Dunne, Barbara Stanwyck, Lana Turner before they passed.
Thanks, Victoria- we very much appreciate your viewing and your kind words. :) We do have quite a few other interviews that we haven't yet uploaded- hope to get around to it soon! I recommend looking at Van Johnson's interview if you haven't yet looked. He's totally great!
thank you Mrs. Juanita
Thanks a lot for tuning in and taking time to comment- very kind of you.
That scene is a tear jerker...she had her whole funeral planned (in the movie) 😢
She sound the same. So humble. Bless her spirit.
You are so welcome and no problem. Thank you for the history of
2001 TCM biography of Lana Turner, I did not know that it was the
same place of where the stabbing incident took place of her daughter, and Stompanato. I've always loved the oldies classics,
they're the best movies. Those are the real actors and actresses,
No Doubt!!
its all about LANA, she doesnt ask juanita much about HERSELF
Right!
That's because this is an interview that was shot for a documentary about Lana Turner.
I clicked on because I thought this was interview about Ms. Juanita
Umm thank you what kind of crap is this.... they have a beautiful, living Legend in they face in all they can do is talking about another actress?
That’s exactly what I said! What a disappointment and dis-service to Juanita! During a time as a black actress in such a film that explored the challenges of racism from a woman’s point of view as well as to learn about the life of Ms. Moore... I found it to be quite disrespectful and appalling! What a way to erase this prominent black actress!😡
Dear Robert- thank you very much! That's awfully kind of you- we do appreciate it. :)
Oh wow I'm 4years too late rip beautiful
Thanks very much for your kind thoughts- she was so great in "Walk on the Wild Side"
Beautiful sweet woman GREAT ACTRESS ❤❤
She was an incredible actress, May her soul rest in peace.
She was on an episode of Adam-12 and she was police official. Keep watching MeTV...I'm sure it will show up again⭐⭐⭐🎈🎈
I love her she so pretty 🤟🤟👍😍🥰🤩💛💝💞💓💗💙❤💖
This is a "Juanita Moore" interview; why all the questions about Lana Turner. I would love to know more about Ms. Moore.
I just love Ms. Moore so much with her beautiful smile, such a soft spoken, beautiful, humble, pleasant, caring and very talented lady...she was in a lot of movies and Max Julien loved her too, she was in The Mack and Thomasine&Bushrod movies...Max mentioned his mother was murdered and Ms. Moore was like a mother to him...l been following her career and films for a long time, nice interview!!!
Wow thats the woman who played the African american mother in Imitations of Life! Wow she looks like a whole new beautiful woman wow and she was 99 years old wow I wish I can blessed and looking like her one day!
