Personal life

Moon was born with the craniofacial disfigurement bletharophimosis, and has had both plastic reconstructive Surgery and Neuro Surgery. Bianca has attended the Children's Craniofacial Retreat almost every year since 2006. The retreat, originating in Washington DC in 1989 and sponsored by Dallas-based Charity CCA and Academy and Grammy award-winning actress Cher, is a gathering of facially different children and their families, that convenes in a different US city every year to celebrate their differences, together as "extended family".[1]

She began her own Charity, "Truly Beautiful" when she was 16[2] and was a 2007 Finalist for the "Young Australian of the Year" Award.[1]

Moon's heritage is both French and Scottish, as well as Jewish on her mother's side and Native American Indian on her father's side. She defines herself as Spiritual (as opposed to Religious) but has said that of all organized Religions, Judaism speaks to her the strongest.
