Dennie Moore

Dennie Moore (born Florence Moore; – February 22, 1978) was an American film and stage actress.

Early life Moore was born in New York City on December 30, 1902, to immigrant parents of Scottish and Irish descent. She was raised in Hell's Kitchen in Manhattan. Her brother, Joe Moore, was an Olympic champion speed skater, and she had two step-sisters and one step-brother. She received six years of schooling. She was primarily a freelance actress and floated between Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Warner Bros. Studios. In the course of her film career, she appeared in twenty-two films

By the mid-1940s, Moore found herself getting less work in Hollywood, but more parts on the New York stage. In 1951, she made her last screen appearance as Mrs. Bea Gingras in The Model and the Marriage Broker. Moving back to New York City, she made one final performance onstage, creating the role of Mrs. Van Daan in The Diary of Anne Frank.

Later life and death In 1977, David Ragan wrote in Who's Who in Hollywood that Moore "is retired, lives alone at an excellent hotel on Park Avenue, and is in her late 60s".

Moore died of natural causes at age 75 on February 22, 1978, in her Manhattan apartment. She left no immediate survivors. She was cremated and her ashes scattered off her balcony.
