Biography:Bleach-blonde leading lady "Cleo Moore" can be described as "Marilyn Monroe" without the class. Though very likely a nice person in real life, Moore specialized in playing vulgar, conniving trollops; one could practically smell the cheap perfume whenever she swivelled onscreen. After an uncharacteristic film debut as a serial heroine in 1948's "Congo Bill", Moore became the favorite leading lady of actor/director "Hugo Haas", who churned out picture after picture in which he played an older man ruined by Moore's seductive charms. Retiring from filmmaking in 1957, "Cleo Moore" entered politics, making an unsuccessful bid for the governor's chair in her home state of Louisiana. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
