Joanna Moore (November 10, 1934 – November 22, 1997) was an American film and television actress. Over the course of her career, she appeared in more than eighty television and film roles.
Moore's career hit its peak in the 1960s. During that time, she guest starred in several popular shows of the era including Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Perry Mason, and The Real McCoys. One of her more notable recurring roles was as Sheriff Andy Taylor's love interest, Peggy "Peg" McMillan in four episodes of The Andy Griffith Show from 1962 to 1963. Moore was a guest star in television westerns like Wagon Train, Gunsmoke, The Rebel, and The Virginian. By the 1970s, her career began to wane because of drug and alcohol issues. She made her final onscreen appearance in 1986.
She was married to actor Ryan O'Neal from 1963 to 1967, with whom she had two children: Griffin and Tatum O'Neal. Moore died of lung cancer in 1997. Biography
Marriages and children
On April 3, 1963, Moore married actor Ryan O'Neal. The couple had two children: Tatum Beatrice O'Neal, born on November 5, 1963, and Griffin Patrick O'Neal, born on October 28, 1964. The marriage was tempestuous and the couple separated in early 1966. In February 1967, their divorce became final.
In February 1975, she married roofing contractor Gary L. Reeves. They divorced in 1977.
Drug and alcohol use
Around the time of her separation from Ryan O'Neal, Moore began to abuse alcohol and drugs, namely amphetamines and became addicted. She continued acting, but her depression worsened over her impending divorce.
In 1970, Moore checked into the Camarillo State Hospital for treatment. The next year, she was arrested for drunk driving after she and O'Neal got into a fight while she and their children were visiting O'Neal's Malibu home. After her arrest, she lost custody of her children.
By the late 1970s, she was being supported financially by daughter, Tatum, who had become an Academy Award-winning actress at age 10, and one of the highest-paid child stars of the era. The children were still in Ryan O'Neal's custody, and despite treatment, Moore continued to abuse drugs and alcohol. As a result, she was arrested five times for DUI during the 1980s.
