A multi-talent who has achieved a remarkable level of success at a young age as both an actress and recording artist, MANDY MOORE (Sally Kendoo) continues to challenge herself and grow with each succeeding project.
Additional films due for release include Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales. Also starring The Rock, Seann William Scott and Sarah Michelle Gellar, the film is an ensemble piece set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster.
Moore will also be seen starring in Universal Pictures and Gold Circle Film’s comedy Because I Said So. Directed by Michael Lehmann and co-starring Diane Keaton, the film tells the story of a meddling mother (Keaton) who, in order to prevent her daughter (Moore) from making the same mistakes she made, decides to set her up with the perfect man—neglecting to mention that she found the dates through a personal ad.
Moore is currently shooting Plum Pictures’ romantic comedy Dedication, opposite Billy Crudup, Justin Theroux, Tom Wilkinson, Mia Farrow and Bob Balaban. Directed by Theroux, the story concerns a misogynistic children’s author (Crudup) who is forced to collaborate with a young female illustrator (Moore) when his writing partner (and only friend) dies.
Following that film will be Jennifer Elster’s Twist of Fate, opposite James McAvoy. Moore will play a working-class girl who, along with her boyfriend, has to deal with the repercussions after they fail to report a car accident they are involved in that kills a young local socialite.
Critics and audiences alike took notice of her performance in Brian Dannelly’s acclaimed film Saved! for United Artists. Moore’s take on the perfect Christian girl who uses her personal relationship with Jesus to take advantage of everyone marked another step in her evolution as a film actress. This film was produced by Michael Stipe and Sandy Stern and co-starred Jena Malone, Eva Amurri, Macaulay Culkin, Patrick Fugit and Mary-Louise Parker.
Prior film credits include starring roles in John Turturro’s musical Romance & Cigarettes, with James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet and Mary-Louise Parker; as well as Andy Cadiff’s Chasing Liberty for Warner Bros.; and Clare Kilner’s How to Deal for New Line. Moore lent her voice to the animated comedy Racing Stripes and starred opposite Shane West in Adam Shankman’s box-office success A Walk to Remember for Warner Bros. For this film, she won an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Female Performance. She also performed four songs featured on the film’s soundtrack.
Moore made her feature-film debut playing a haughty, cruel and popular high school cheerleader in Disney’s smash hit comedy The Princess Diaries. Directed by Garry Marshall, the film also starred Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway and Hector Elizondo.
On television, Moore was recently seen on NBC’s popular comedy Scrubs. She also recently guest starred as herself on the HBO hit series Entourage.
Due for release in 2006 will be Moore’s fourth album. Distributed by Warner Bros. Records, the album will mark the first time all of the songs are written and/or co-written by Moore herself. Her critically acclaimed album “Coverage,” released on October 21, 2003, featured her mature and adventurous approaches to a remarkable collection of classic and personal favorite songs by Elton John, Joan Armatrading, Todd Rundgren, Cat Stevens—among many others. It was Moore’s idea to bring these songs to a younger generation, and her performance and interpretation of them further established her as a musical artist of note.
As a recording artist, Moore came to national attention with the 1999 release of her debut album “So Real,” which reached platinum status in a remarkable three months and produced the top-ten single “Candy.” Moore’s second album, “I Wanna Be With You” (Special Edition), was released in May, 2000, and also went platinum. Her self-titled third album, another major seller, featured the hit single “Cry. “
Moore launched an exclusive line of contemporary tees based on her original concepts and designs called MBLEM. MBLEM is available in over 100 various trendsetting boutiques across the nation.
Moore was raised in Orlando, Florida, and currently lives in Los Angeles.
