Career

Moore became interested in singing and acting at a young age, and called her British maternal grandmother, Eileen Friedman, a professional ballerina in London, one of her inspirations. Moore said "My parents thought it was just a phase I'd grow out of. But I stuck to it and begged them for acting lessons, for voice lessons."{{cite magazine|title=Billboard Nov 20, 1999 |magazine=Billboard |date=November 20, 1999 |volume=111 |issue=47 |page=21 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fwgEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA21 |access-date=November 27, 2014 |publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc. |issn=0006-2510 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170419013253/https://books.google.com/books?id=fwgEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA21 |archive-date=April 19, 2017 }}
