Terry Moore – 1929

Terry Moore became a child model before making her film debut in Maryland in 1940. Some of her early film appearances included The Howards of Virginia, On the Sunny Side, My Gal Sal, and True to Life, to mention a few. Moore also worked in radio, most memorably as Bumps Smith on The Smiths of Hollywood. Columbia Pictures then signed and gave her a long-term contract, which helped boost her career and star in The Return of October.

In the 1960s, Moore starred as a leading actress in Platinum High School and Why Must I Die? producing the latter. Moore is also among those last surviving stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood and continued starring in several films in the latter part of her career up to 2019. With a successful career, she wouldn’t be needing any cash loans any time soon.
