Moore says she doesn’t attract Palin fans

Actress Julianne Moore lured a crowd of kids and parents to her reading Saturday at the National Book Festival on the National Mall. But there’s one demographic she doubted she would attract — Sarah Palin fans. “I don’t expect that,” she told Yeas & Nays, not wanting to spill too much about her upcoming role portraying Palin in the HBO political flick “Game Change.” (We’ve heard that people involved in the project have to be very tight-lipped about it.) Moore, known for work in edgy flicks like “The Kids Are Alright” and “Boogie Nights,” has written three children’s books about redhead “Freckleface Strawberry” and discussed those at the event. “My movies are not for children, obviously, so it’s very nice to have a different kind of audience,” she said.
