In 1996, Moore became the highest-paid actress in film history when she received an unprecedented $12.5 million to star in Striptease . [2] The large-budget starring vehicles The Scarlet Letter (1995), The Juror (1996), and G.I. Jane (1997) fell below commercial expectations and contributed to a downturn in her career. [3] [4] She has since held sporadic leading roles in the arthouse films Passion of Mind (2000), Flawless (2008), and Blind (2017), as well as supporting roles in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), Bobby (2006), Mr. Brooks (2007), and Margin Call (2011). [5] Moore's primetime television work includes the Emmy-nominated cable anthology If These Walls Could Talk (1996) and the streaming series Brave New World (2020).
