Pauline Moore 1914 - 2001 Pauline Moore is one of my favorite B film actresses, and her career was too brief. She made about two dozen films from the late 1930s until the early 1940s, mostly at 20th Century Fox where she was under contract. After being released by Fox, she signed with Republic Pictures and her work there included four Roy Rogers westerns and the KING OF THE TEXAS RANGERS (Republic, 1941) serial which starred football great Sammy Baugh. Of her two dozen films, Les Adams has Moore identified in eleven westerns and one chapterplay.
The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Associated Press had obituaries on Pauline Moore: Although some of the data is incomplete or inaccurate, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has information on Pauline Moore: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0601733/ For those interested in learning more about Pauline's early years, there's a lengthy biography on her in the June, 1939 Hollywood Screen Life magazine at the Internet Archive website: https://archive.org/details/hollywood28fawc/page/n389/mode/2up?view=theater |

Directed by John "Jack" English and William Witney, this serial was released in October, 1941, a couple months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Note the gal next to Sammy Baugh - certainly doesn't resemble leading lady Pauline Moore. Wonder who she is.
