Julianne Moore is playing Gloria Steinem in the new biopic based on her memoir My Life on the Road, and recently spoke to gossip columnist Cindy Adams about the film.

“Our film is from her book My Life on the Road,” the actress said of the film that will show the trailblazing feminist and activist through multiple stages in her life.

“Alicia Vikander plays one version of Gloria. Two girls, one 9, one 12, play her younger,” Julianne said. “It explores her growing up days and her place in the women’s movement. Bette Midler has the role of Bella Abzug. Julie Taymor directs. The screenplay’s also by women.”

Furthermore, Julianne added that she “loves” living in New York, adding that “Once you couldn’t walk places at night without fear of being mugged. It’s better now. But it’s changing, and there’s less room for all kinds of people. I miss the diversity.”

We can’t wait for this movie!
