Moore did not appear in another feature film for eleven years. On her return to the big screen in 1980, she received her only Oscar nomination for her role in the coming-of-age drama "Ordinary People", as a grieving mother unable to cope either with the drowning death of one of her sons or the subsequent suicide attempt of her surviving son, played by Timothy Hutton who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance. Despite that success, Moore's only two films in the next fifteen years were the poorly received "Six Weeks" (1982) and "Just Between Friends" (1986). In 1996 she made her return to films with the independent hit "Flirting with Disaster".
