Sadly, Moore is no longer with us. She lived her life to the full, and stayed with us until January 2017, when she passed away peacefully at the age of 80. The 1970s may have been the best period of her working life, but she was active on screen and on stage for far longer than that. She never truly stopped working at all and was accepting new roles right up until her death.
In a career full of highlights, the achievements Moore would probably be most satisfied with were her multiple Emmy Awards, and her Tony Awards for performances in the theater. Tony Awards are notoriously hard to achieve, and doubly so for a woman who, at times, was perceived to have 'upset the apple cart' in the eyes of traditionalists. The 2010s show 'Hot in Cleveland' introduced her to a brand-new audience, making her as relevant to the youth of today as she was to the youth of four decades prior.
