In 1996 he decided to leap into a full-length feature film that also led him to meet his future wife. Julianne Moore starred in Brat’s first feature film, The Myth of Fingerprints, but as the actress herself puts it, their first meeting was not all rainbows and roses.
She told Coolidge Corner Theatre that she was in a foul mood the day she met Freundlich. She said, “He caught me at a very bad time. Because I had just been divorced, and I was really grump.” As per Moore, the day she was supposed to meet him, her then-boyfriend “had crashed” her car. While the then 35-year-old admitted she was grumpy, but reportedly Bart was patient with her through their talk, which put him in her good books.
