1. Cleo Moore
   With the death of the studio system in the late 1950s, like many other actors Cleo Moore was released from her contract in 1956. Moore's last film was the campy film noir thriller Hit and Run (1957; with Vince Edwards). After retiring from the screen, she married her second husband in 1961 and settled in to the role of wife and mother with the birth of her daughter in 1963. Sadly, Moore passed away in October 1973 at age 48 from a heart attack. Unfortunately, none of Cleo Moore's films are available for the home video market at this time.
2. Othello -- Moors
   Othello is a Moor in Venice, a black man in a world of white men. At the time Shakespeare wrote the play, Queen Elizabeth was negotiating with the Moors to fight against the Spanish. Moorish ambassadors commanded a certain amount of respect in London. But when the black population grew uncomfortably large, white Englishmen had no qualms about rounding them up and shipping them off, just as they did Jews and other minorities. Even though Othello is a highly respected and honored public figure, he is not
3. Justin Theroux -- Mandy Moore
   Fortunately, first time director Justin Theroux manages just that throughout Dedication. His refusal to adhere to the usual conventions sets apart the film’s depiction of the burgeoning relationship between children’s book author Henry (Billy Crudup) and illustrator Lucy (Mandy Moore). The filmmaker, working with screenwriter David Bromberg, smartly focuses on the individual development of the characters, rather than strictly conjuring up their convoluted interactions. While lesser genre entries often excessively emphasize plot-based machinations, this one explores the psychological depths that define the main figures.
4. Shemar Moore -- Northern California
   On Friday, Criminal Minds actor Shemar Moore was arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence in Los Angeles, California. TMZ.com is reporting that $5,000 bail and a few days later, Moore was then seen drinking wine at a CTV party in Toronto, Ontario.
5. Julianne Moore -- World Turns
   Set in suburban 1950s Connecticut, the film is about Cathy Whitaker (Julianne Moore), the perfect wife, mother, and homemaker. Cathy is married to Frank (Dennis Quaid), a successful executive at Magnatech. The film begins with Cathy preparing for her annual party with her best friend, Eleanor Fine (Patricia Clarkson). One day, Cathy spies an unknown man walking through her garden. He turns out to be Raymond Deagon (Dennis Haysbert), the son of Cathy's late gardener.
6. Dudley Moore -- Blake Edwards
   Dudley Moore and Blake Edwards teamed up after the success of "10" for a fast-paced farce about a man who finds he's going to be a father...twice over, with two different women. He ends up married to both ladies, and must help take care of them while keeping them from finding out about each other! Ann Reinking, Amy Irving and Richard Mulligan co-star. 118 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English, French.
7. Michael Moore -- Jeb Bush
   Daschle denies hugging Moore --There was no hug between "Fahrenheit 9/11" director Michael Moore and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle at the film's June 23 premiere in Washington, D.C., Daschle said Thursday. When asked about Moore's account of a hug after the premiere and the criticism Daschle has received for it, the South Dakota Democrat said he and Moore did not embrace. [But he corroborates having sat on George Bush's lap during a White House meeting.]
8. Mary Tyler Moore
   Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore) is a thirty-something single woman who settles in Minneapolis, Minn. after breaking up with a boyfriend. She lands a job as an associate producer of the evening news at WJM, Channel 12. It happens to be Minneapolis' lowest-rated station. Her boss, Lou Grant (Edward Asner) hates her spunk but often looks to her to solve newsroom (or even personal) problems. Mary's other coworkers include news writer Murray Slaughter (Gavin McLeod), Ted Baxter (Ted Knight), the egomaniacal anchorman, and "Happy Homemaker" Sue Ann Nivens (Betty White). Mary's home is a modest studio apartment -- and her upstairs neighbor, Rhoda Morgenstern (Valerie Harper), quickly becomes a good friend.
9. Mary Tyler Moore -- New York
   Big-hearted Mary (Mary Tyler Moore) offers to substitute for the WJM-TV employee who normally mans the studio's newsroom on Christmas Eve. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but before long, she is desperately lonely for human companionship. Henry Corden, longtime voice of cartoon character Fred Flintstone, makes an appearance (sort of). "Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid" was originally broadcast on December 19, 1970. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
10. Mary Tyler Moore -- Mary Richards
    The Mary Tyler Moore Show was one of the most literate, realistic, and enduring situation comedies of the 1970s. Unlike the efforts generated by producer Norman Lear, typified by All in the Family and Maude, there was never a conscious attempt to humiliate or ridicule. Mary Richards was the idealized single career woman. She had come to Minneapolis after breaking up with a man she had been dating for two years. Ambitious, and looking for new friends, she moved into an older apartment building and went to work as an assistant producer of the local news show on television station WJM-TV. In her early 30s, Mary symbolized the independent woman of the 1970s.
