VIDEO : Julianne Moore and Ellen Page Tackle Gay Rights in New Movie

Oscar winner Julianne Moore and Ellen Page celebrated the New York premiere of Lionsgate and Summit Entertainment?s film ?Freeheld,? which tackles gay rights, on Monday night at the Museum of Modern Art. The two stars received heaps of praise for their portrayal of two real-life domestic partners, Laurel Hester and Stacie Andree, who fight for New Jersey police officer Hester to be able to leave her pension benefits to Andree upon being diagnosed with lung cancer. The film, directed by Peter Sollett, follows terminally ill Hester?s struggle to pass her pension to her life partner ? a move considered legal under state law, however, the Ocean County Freeholders deny her case.
