About Cleo Moore
Cleo Moore is another of the glamour era's Hollywood blonde bombshells. Baton Rouge born Moore fit the Hollywood lifestyle to a tee. Whatever she lacked in acting talent, she made up for with her talent for outlandish publicity stunts, ala Jayne Mansfield and Mamie Van Doren. Moore started her career, like most, doing pin-up work. She soon found herself on the big screen doing lurid films for director Hugo Haas like "Thy Neighbor's Wife" and "Bait." But what she is most known for is her ability to get her name in the papers and magazines. Take for example her famous feuds with fellow (and more famous) pin-up and movie star Anita Ekberg. The Swedish Ekberg made the comment that American women were immature and childish. Moore went on a media crusade (mostly to help her own career) to prove that American women could measure up, in every sense. (Click here to read a story from Modern Man magazine from 1961 called "The Great Glamazon Gambit.") Sadly, Moore's on-screen success could never match the hype she generated off-screen.
