When it comes to her 9-year-old son's romantic life, Julianne Moore finds it hard not to get involved. "My son already likes this girl," she admits, "I probably shouldn't say this on TV, but he's so sweet about it. I said, 'So, do you think she likes you?' and he goes, 'I don't know mom!' He's just kind of there for her in this steady way, just waiting for her to say, 'I like you.' And I'm like, 'C'mon, you love him, I know you do!'"

Looking back on her own childhood, Julianne shares the inspiration behind the title character of her new children's book, Freckleface Strawberry. "When I was in the first grade living in Omaha, Nebraska," she explains, "the kids used to call me Freckleface Strawberry -- like the drink mix -- because I had red hair and freckles. So I was humiliated by it, but of course now, looking back on it, you think that's not horrible at all. It was just kind of cute, but that was the starting off point for the book."
