Julianne Moore Is a Mensch: Read Her Reminiscence of Soap Opera Mother Kathryn Hays

Her on screen mother was played by the beloved Kathryn Hays, who died this week at age 87. Moore never forgot her roots. When it was announced the show as ending after 54 years, she went back and filmed an episode with the cast.

Today, Moore posted a lovely reminiscence of Hays. Here it is. Hays also worked with Meg Ryan, by the way, which launched the “Sleepless in Seattle” actress’s career.
