Moore's first regular television role was as a mysterious and glamorous telephone receptionist in "Richard Diamond, Private Detective". It is erroneously reported that in the show her voice was heard but only her legs appeared on camera, adding to the character's mystique. Her legs appeared in episode 3 of the 3rd season, but she was cleverly shot above the waist in other episodes with her face at least partially hidden. About this time, she guest-starred in John Cassavetes' NBC detective series "Johnny Staccato", and also in the series premiere of "The Tab Hunter Show" in September 1960 and the "Bachelor Father" episode "Bentley and the Big Board" in December 1960. In 1961 Moore appeared in several big parts in movies and on television, including "Bourbon Street Beat", "77 Sunset Strip", "Surfside 6", "Wanted: Dead or Alive", "Steve Canyon", "Hawaiian Eye", "Thriller" and "Lock-Up". She also appeared in a February 1962 episode of "Straightaway".
