By Cece M. Scott Granddaughter of the theatrical icon, Dora Mavor Moore, Tedde Moore has spent much of her life in, and around, the acting world. “I first appeared on stage on the CBC’s children’s show, Travelin’ Time, when I was 13 years old,” says Moore. “I’d been around the theatre since I was two years old, so acting was like old hat to me. I was hilariously casual about it and failed to learn my lines, which wasn’t good, because it was live-to-tape. The cameramen knew that as my eyes got wider and wider that there would be no more coming from me – that I’d dried up, with nothing more to say. It took me quite awhile to understand that I had to work at it.”

Moore was with filmmaker, Donald Shebib, for 40 years, and he is the father of Suzanna and Noah. While they no longer live together, Moore is still very fond of him and calls him her life partner. Now, at the age of 73, Moore lives on her own in her tiny cottage in Toronto.“I was gifted with an extraordinary amount of privilege, including my creativity, the period of life that I lived in, the world of theatre – the culmination of all things,” says Moore. “It has been a rich, extraordinary time to be alive. I have been deeply, and extraordinarily, loved, which is a gift not everyone enjoys.”cecescott.com
