While training for the 18-month shoot for "Matrix Reloaded" and "Matrix Revolutions," she broke her leg. It was only two weeks into the eight-month training program for the sequels. Her role in the "Matrix" franchise made Moss a worldwide star. She was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Female Performance as well as a Saturn Award for Best Actress.

I couldn't find 'my people.' " She founded Annapurna Living so that other mothers could find their community. At Annapurna Living's website, online courses are taught by Moss on how to live an extremely thoughtful and considerate life, offering a helping hand to women who are struggling to cope with the stresses and pace of the modern world and how it relates to being a wife and mother.
