Biography

Southern-born Joanna Moore often said she'd never intended to be an actress, but an actress she was for nearly two decades. In films from 1956, Moore had her share of worthwhile and memorable roles. She was seen as the daughter of a blown-up murder victim in Orson Welles' Touch of Evil (1957); she was pathetically brilliant as retarded prostitute Miss Precious in A Walk on the Wild Side (1962); and she was as sexy as the Disney organization would permit as femme fatale Desiree de la Roche in Son of Flubber (1963). From 1963 to 1967 Moore was married to actor Ryan O'Neal, five years her junior; she bore him two children, Tatum and Griffin, both of whom later pursued their own acting careers. Joanna Moore retired from acting in 1975. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
