Absolutely stunning red head who I have been a fan of since she played Frannie on 'As the World Turns'

And tonight she won an emmy for 'Game Change' the HBO movie based on Steve Schmidt's book about the McCain/Palin campaign. Ms. Moore, a progressive, pro-choice, pro-marriage equality woman was picked to play Sarah Palin.

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and U.S. Representative Shelley Berkley (D-NV) also participated in the event; a panel discussion was moderated by Cindi Leive, editor-in-chief of Glamour magazine.
Speaking to the audience, Cecile Richards said, Womens health will be a central issue in the next election, and women will determine the outcome of the election. Its projected that 53 percent of voters in November will be women. Lets celebrate that power and use it.

Glad to see Julianne win...it's a very well done film.
