An der Seite von Lana Turner spielte sie in dem Douglas-Sirk-Melodram "Imitation of Life" - und wurde dafür 1960 als eine der ersten Afroamerikanerinnen für den Oscar nominiert: Juanita Moore überwand Grenzen.
Born in Los Angeles, Moore was a chorus girl at the Cotton Club who started out as a film extra, then worked in theater at the Ebony Showcase Theater. She made her film debut in 1949's "Pinky," and often played a maid in 1950s films such as "The Girl Can't Help It." In the 1960s and '70s, she played a nun in "The Singing Nun" and appeared in films including "Uptight," "The Mack" and "Abby." Though she didn't work often through the 1980s, she began appearing onscreen again in later years on TV shows such as "E.R." and "Judging Amy" and in films such as Disney's "The Kid."
