Throughout the early 40's, Moore mostly worked in Radio such as on, "The Smiths of Hollywood".  As her career progressed she first used her real name for crediting but as she got older she finally settled on changing her stage name to Terry Moore.  She was soon signed to a acting contract with Columbia Pictures but they did loan her to RKO and it was with this Studio that one of her most memorable film roles came, "Mighty Joe Young" (1949) co-starring Robert Armstrong and Ben Johnson.
 
As her career progressed, Moore worked on a number of films and soon earned an Oscar nomination for her role in, "Come Back, Little Sheba" (1952) with Paramount Pictures and also appeared in "Beneath the 12-Mile Reef" (1953) starring alongside Robert Wagner, Peter Graves, Richard Boone and J. Carrol Naish, "Peyton Place" (1957).  She continued to work and throughout her career she has appeared in over 77 feature films and has worked with some of Hollywood's leading male actors.  She also was seen on the cover of Life Magazine and, "Hollywood's Sexy Tomboy".
