Moss began acting in the early 1990s and first gained recognition for playing Zoey Bartlet, the youngest daughter of President Josiah Bartlet, in the NBC political drama series The West Wing (1999–2006). She earned wider recognition for playing Peggy Olson, a secretary-turned-copywriter, in the AMC period drama series Mad Men (2007–2015), and subsequently won the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Actress in a Movie/Miniseries and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film for portraying Detective Robin Griffin in the BBC miniseries Top of the Lake (2013).

Early life

Moss was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Ronald Charles Moss, who is British, [1] and Linda Moss (née Ekstrom), an American of part-Swedish descent. [3] Both of Moss's parents are musicians; her mother plays jazz and blues harmonica professionally. [4] [5] Moss has one younger brother. [6] She was raised a Scientologist. [7]

Initially, Moss aspired to be a professional dancer. [6] In her adolescence, she traveled to New York City to study ballet at the School of American Ballet, after which she studied with Suzanne Farrell at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. [4] She continued to study dance through her teenage years, but started getting acting roles as well. To manage her education and career, she began homeschooling, and graduated in 1999. [4]

Career

1990s

Moss's first screen role was in 1990, when she appeared in the NBC miniseries Lucky/Chances . [8] From 1992 until 1995, she appeared as Cynthia Parks in seven episodes of the TV series Picket Fences . [8] She provided the voice of Holly DeCarlo, a main character in the TV special Frosty Returns (1992) and of Michelle in the animated film Once Upon a Forest (1993). She appeared in the television remake of the 1993 film Gypsy and played Harvey Keitel's younger daughter in the film Imaginary Crimes (1994). The following year, she appeared in the remake of the Walt Disney Pictures film Escape to Witch Mountain (1995) and played a young Ashley Judd in the TV-movie biopic Love Can Build a Bridge (1995). [8] She also had a supporting role in the drama Separate Lives (1995) opposite Jim Belushi and Linda Hamilton, and a minor part in the black comedy The Last Supper (1995). [9] She did more voice work, for the animated series Freakazoid! and the television film It's Spring Training, Charlie Brown! (1996).

Beginning in 1999, Moss played the recurring role of Zoey Bartlet in the White House television drama The West Wing , playing the daughter of President Josiah Bartlet (Martin Sheen) and First Lady Abbey Bartlet (Stockard Channing); she portrayed the character until the series finale in 2006. [8] Her character became integral to the fourth season of the show; in a retrospective on the series The Atlantic noted: "Aaron Sorkin made [Moss] the centerpiece of the explosive fourth-season finale where he basically engineered the most insane cliffhanger possible. It required Zoey to be a bit of a pain with her fancy French boyfriend, but Moss always made her relatable, even when the plot required otherwise." [10]

In 1999, she had a supporting role as a patient in a mental institution in James Mangold's Girl, Interrupted , opposite Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie, [8] and a minor part in the drama Anywhere but Here .

2000s

In 2002, Moss appeared in a commercial for Excedrin in which she directly addressed the audience about the medication's benefits for people who suffer from migraines. The spot proved enduringly popular and ran for several years, providing Moss with residual income as she struggled to make it as an actor. [11]

Moss appeared in Heart of America and three other films in 2004. That year, she made the movie Virgin , [8] for which she was nominated for a 2004 Independent Spirit Award. Moss also had a supporting part in Ron Howard's Western thriller The Missing (2003). [12]

[58] After a fan questioned whether her role in the Hulu series The Handmaid's Tale made her think about her involvement with the Church of Scientology, Moss defended her beliefs on Instagram, writing that the idea that Gilead in the series and Scientology "both believe that all outside sources are wrong or evil", as the fan had described, is "actually not true at all".
