Bart, 53, also looked ready for the weekend vacation in a pair of stone-colored pants and a red T-shirt.

The As The World Turns alum met the Myth Of Fingerprints director in 1996 when she was starring in his film about  a dysfunctional New England family’s Thanksgiving gathering.

The couple welcomed their son Caleb, 25, in 1997 and daughter Liv, 21, in 2002. They married on August 23, 2003.  

Moore has appeared in all of Freundlich’s feature films except Catch That Kid (2004), The Rebound (2009) and Wolves (2016). 

When Freundlich was casting the role of Mia in Myth of Fingerprints, he was looking for ‘someone who had a lot of complication, a lot of sadness under the surface, and portrayed very, very little of it in her face.’

He recounted the moment he connected with Moore to the New Yorker in 2017.

She was standing outside in the cold and wind without a coat while filming The Myth of Fingerprints.

‘I came up to her and stood with my back to the wind. I didn’t want her to be cold, and I also didn’t want to put my arm around her, or smother her, because I didn’t know her that well.

‘Even though I couldn’t have articulated it then, I understood that I could keep her warm up to a point. But then the rest was going to be for her to do,’ he explained.

And he revealed the secret to their nearly three decade long romance: ‘We connected in that moment on an unspoken level, where she knew I saw that flame in her, and understood it, and was willing not to suffocate it but to protect it.’ 

Freundlich went on to talk about what it is like to direct Moore.

‘She’s one of those people for whom the portal to up there is open, so you guard it the same way you would guard your family, by being very careful with your boundaries.

‘I pictured it like a pilot light—this little flame that’s inside her. If she doesn’t let it get blown out by all the talking and ideas that get expressed on a set, then she can ignite it at any time. Her No. 1 job is to protect that, even if it means being prickly with you as a director,’ he explained.
