	Actors - Cleo Moore

Cleo Moore, was a blonde bombshell of 1950's Hollywood films born October 31 1928 (some sources state 1923) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. One of several highly publicized sexy, busty blondes during the 1950's, Cleo Moore received a ton of publicity but most of her movies were less than memorable. Nevertheless, she became a "name" with her fairly popular B movies during the era albeit not a major star. She made her film debut in 1948 movie serial Congo Bill. She had stints as a starlet ar Warner Bros. in 1950 and RKO-Radio in 1950-52 before signing with Columbia Pictures in 1952. She first gained attention as a doomed gun moll on Nicholas Ray's film noir classic On Dangerous Ground in 1951. Moore began starring in films in 1952. Her films include Thy Neighbor's Wife (1952), One Girl's Confession (1953), The Other Woman (1954), Women's Prison (1955), Over-exposed (1956) and Hit and Run (1957). She was often starred in films directed by actor/director Hugo Haas and starred opposite John Agar, Richard Crenna, Vince Edwards, and Robert Ryan among other actors. Moore made headlines with several publicity stunts notably a five minute kiss on live Chicago television in 1954 and her tongue-in-cheek pledge to one day run for Governor of Louisiana, having once been married to the youngest son of Huey Long, Palmer. She had been out of the limelight for many years when she passed away from a heart attack October 25 1973. Today her bad girl movies have a cult following and photos and memorabilia on Moore is often as coveted as that of her more famous contemporaries Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren.
