Grace Moore Guesbook

Judy Henke, 02-21-2016 12:14:55, Crossville TN
Just saw a piece on her on Heartland on a Knoxville Channel. Did she ever appear on sheet music in those early years? I may have to go thru my collection to see if I can spot her. Good Ole' Tennessee. Always has surprises coming out of those hills.....

Glad to see the Grace Moore Guestbook is still up and running!

OMG! I cannot believe I am just now looking up Grace Moore on the internet, having heard stories of her all my life. Although raised in Jellico, she was born in Slabtown in the mountains of East Tennessee. My paternal grandmother, Chattie Stokely Smith Rainwater, was Grace's mother's first cousin. Here is a story I have heard many times from Granny. On a Sunday afternoon,Grace was visiting with her family, at Grandmother's house near Slabtown. They were playing outside. Now, Chattie had on her best dress, made by her mother. Grace was wearing a beautiful store-bought dress. Suddenly she said, "Chattie, I love your dress, let's trade!" Of course Chattie was thrilled to be wearing such a wonderful dress, but as soon as Grace put on Chattie's dress, she shimmied up a nearby tree! Chattie was heartbroken to have her only pretty dress ruined. What a precocious child Grace was! I guess Grace received some kind of punishment, but no one told me the rest of the story!

Great site, we all need to remember people Like Grace Moore, Ina Clare (who I use to cook for) who have given so much to all of us in film and theater. Bravo

If "Red Shoes" is the most inspirational movie for aspiring ballerinas. Then "One Night of Love" is the definitive inspirational movie for young opera singers and Grace Moore . . . . well all I can say is that she is the greatest ever. I was introduced to her with the movie "So this is Love" and I think that Kathryn Grayson was just wonderful in that movie, but I want to see the real Grace Moore so I went to the nearest video store and bought "One Night of Love" I was hooked to that movie and a new Grace Moore fan was born.

Anyways great website. I was so surprised when I found it because I didn''t know what I was doing ... I typed in www.gracemoore.net on the address bar and I was like OH MY GOD!!!!)

Stacey Austin, 05-06-2015 21:28:11, United States

Joan Powell, 05-06-2015 21:27:13, United States
I enjoyed the pictures and information. The music clips were a great idea, since I had not heard her music. I live near Jellico, but had not heard of Grace Moore, so this was interesting.

My grandmother was a huge Grace Moore & Dorothy Kirsten fan. I have a full scrap book full of articles signed autographed pictures, I also have what appears to be a fan club newsletter called The Melody, I can not find any information on it. On the Morbid side I have a clipping of the plane crash picture.Please help

Lin Baker, 02-25-2014 12:46:51,
I rented her movie and feel in love with her. I am a singer myself and know a God blessed voice when I hear it. And what charisma! She was lovely and so very delightful as an actress. I hope to find more of her movies and music. One Night of Love was amazing! Thank you for this web site memorializing her music and too short life.

Sharleen, 02-21-2014 01:03:56,
I was just watching TCM and wondered who that marvelous soprano was. I'm so impressed by her biography and saddened that she died before her time. Bravo!

Hello. I am looking for someone related to Grace Moore. We have discovered some interesting material of hers, and I would like to talk to someone who is in charge of her estate. Please email. Thanks!

Johnny and Kelli Loudin, 02-17-2007 04:08:15, United States
Me and My wife have lived in Jellico Tn for most of our lives. We now live in Florida where I am stationed. I brag on Jellico everywhere I go. And I always mention Grae Moore. People who have never heard of Jellico know Grace Moore. Thank you for this site, it is awesome.

A fan, 12-03-2006 23:43:36, United States
I work at an auction house in Chattanooga TN, where we sold a bedroom set that dates back to the 18 century that was owned by Grace Moore. Her Great-niece consigned it to us.

donald, 11-01-2006 12:58:26, United States
in 70s i lived on bradley lane in newtown ct.across from the house where grace moore lived. ruth gordon and garsin kanon also owned the house.

Hi there,somehow i feel related to Grace Moore,because my granddad youngest brother was one of the pilots who also died on that plane 1947.

Hugh Sadler, 06-04-2006 14:36:52, United States
ON SUNDAY MORNING TODAY - 06/04/06 - THEY HAD A SEGMENT ON MERV GRIFFIN. THEY STATED THAT HE HAD PLAYED KATHRYN GRAYSON''S BOY FRIEND IN A MOVE CALLED "SO THIS IS LOVE." WASN''T THAT MOVIE A BIOGRAPHY OF GRACE MOORE, THE MET SINGER WHO DIED IN A PLANE CRASH IN 1947?

Robbie 'the power' Barro, 03-26-2006 15:26:52, United Kingdom
my girlfriends name is grace moore. i love her so much and one day we are going to get married......if your are reading this babe.i love you soooo much.

LeFran Ciofalo, 11-20-2005 15:57:15, United States
Do you have a photo of Grace as Manon showing the staff supposedly given to her by Mary Garden? This staff was then said to have been passed to Dorothy Kirsten. The staff in Dorothy''s memorabilia may be this item, although it should be authenticated. A photo or recollection would help to do so.

s. newell, 08-18-2005 10:51:48, United States
My mom (Shirley McDade) has fond memories of Grace. She has always talked about Grace''s mom and admired Grace''s talent. Those stories were part of my upbringing. I have seen Grace in old movies and it is nice to see her website

You probably dont believe me but my name is Grace Moore and I discovered this site by Googleing my name for fun!

Janet Clare-Dean - (Moore, 06-14-2005 17:10:29, United Kingdom

Hello everyone!

This is Janet calling from Berwick upon Tweed in England.

I am making contact again with all of the Moore family to say that I am doing a lecture this Saturday on the family history of Clare in which Grace will play a part.Grace''s father was the brother of my great grandmother Mary Moore. If members of the family would like to contact me, I would love to talk to you via the net.

All good wishes

Janet

George Johansson, 06-04-2005 14:24:10, Sweden

Not much swedes writing here although there is a swedish connection to Grace Moore.That is she died in the same plane-crash as His Royal Highness Prince Gustav Adolphus of Sweden. He was the father of our present day Head-of-State His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustav who has been the Sweish Head of State since the death of his grandfather in 1973. The Homepage of the National Danish Radio have some really interesting historical recordings to listen to from 1947 among them an interwiew made by the danish radio with Grace Moore the last evening she lived. Next day the planecrash occured and she died.

Thought I''d share a story that I remember George Burns told during a roast of Jack Benny.

George was known as the comedian''s comedian, and one of the few capable of making Jack Benny laugh at the drop of a hat. Anyway, Edward G. Robinson was hosting a private party for Grace Moore about the time her picture (One Night of Love) was coming out in 1934. At some point during the party, Grace was asked to sing the title song from the movie for the guests, to which she obliged. As the guests set up a couple of rows of chairs to listen to her sing, George Burns leaned forward and told Jack Benny that "it would be very rude of him to laugh when she starting singing". Of course the minute Grace started to sing, Jack Benny begins to laugh... and continued to laugh. George''s punch line... "See, I don''t make Jack Benny laugh... Grace Moore makes Jack Benny laugh".

sandie ross d'xon-dezeust, 01-26-2005 13:39:43, Canada

I would love to have mor information on the images on this site

I chanced to bring a movie home for my mother from the victoria public library. it is One Night of Love and is a Columbia Pictures home video, 3500 W Olive Ave, Burbank, CA 91505

copyright 1934 renewed 1962

my mother is french and trained in opera in Toronto as a young woman and recalls seeing this movie in the theatre with her mother in the early 30''s. they saw it 3 times and my mother sneaked back twice more, even skipping a music lesson to do so. Her mother, my grandmother bears an uncanny resemblance to the fair-haired Moore and my mother is so like the final stage character in the Madame Butterfly performance that I am certain this movie played straight into my grandmother''s ambitions for her daughter.

it has been a treasured find for us and hope that you can find a copy too.

Your web-site is a moving tribute to Grace Moore. Years ago passing through Tennessee from Fla. to begin my medical internship in St. Louis I stopped in Jellico and had the good fortune to meet and chat with a wonderful lady. Her name was Goldie Garber, a childhood friend of Miss Moore''s. We chatted for over two hours, and she showed me some beautiful portraits of Grace, including a beautiful 3-dimensional life-like facial portrait. She filled me in on many anecdotes of Miss Moore''s life both the triumphs and tragedies. I corresponded with Ms Garber for many years until her death.She would have been thrilled with your tribute.

Shannon Whealton, 01-21-2005 12:38:06, United States
I am related to Grace Moore on my mother''s side and am fascinated by her life. I also have made my career as a singer, so I think it is interesting that the musical genes have been passed on. I enjoyed this site and would love more information about Ms. Moore.

Lee Moyer Freeman, 04-26-2004 17:27:02, United States

This is a fascinating site! I came to try to find the name of the movie Ms. Moore made in which she portrays a singer who is discovered in a remote location by a famous conductor(?) who hones her skills, making her famous. They fall in love, of course. In the final scene, they are performing Madame Butterfly, and it just brings tears to your eyes. It really is a wonderful film. I saw it around 1988 at the Sailors and Soldiers Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga, TN, when a series of old classic films, including SunValley with Sonya Henning, were being shown. Perhaps someone could write back to refresh my memory of the name of the film I described above. I would love to see it again! Thanks for the site. I''ll be back, I''m sure. !

Brigid Culloty, 04-26-2004 17:27:01, United States
I''ve seen "So This is Love" with Kathryn Grayson and I thought Grace Moore had such an interesting life. Seeing this movie has triggered my love for opera. I''m only 12, but I''ve been taking voice lessons for about a year. So far, I love every Italian Aria that I''ve done!

Grace Moore (seriously), 04-24-2004 09:52:10, United Kingdom
i found this site at school when my best friend googled my name the lady this site is dedicated to sounds great and im glad to have the same name as her

Laurie Gerard, 03-17-2004 22:19:45, United States
Is there anyone out there who collects old memorybilla on Grace Moore? I like your website.

Tevis Fitzpatrick, 02-16-2004 10:48:43, United States
My Grandmother grew up in Jellico,TN. She knew Grace Moore and even sang with her; she also knew Homer Rodeheaver Despite what has been said about Jellico it is still a friendly town with 2 famous people coming from that little town. My Mother was born in Jellico, Ky but they lived on the TN. side.

Steve Zimmermann, 02-01-2004 19:52:37, none
I have an 8 x 10 photo of grace moore that I'''' d like to donate to your museum.Would you send me an address to send it to. Thanks

John Partin, 01-23-2004 15:06:48, United States

Just traveling south last weekend! had to stop for gasoline and Jellico was the town we stopped at! What a dump and then to advertise that this is Grace Moore''s home place! before i advertised anything i think i wouls clean Jellico up and take a few of those old buildings down that isnt used any more! then you could have a town to be proud of and not be ashame to put Miss Moore''s museam in your town!

Marc Innes, 12-17-2003 11:42:12, United States

Mary Osborne, 09-14-2003 21:51:15, United States
Hello I just wanted to add that i think the city of jellico should get a museum in the city and continue to get mrs. moores gowns and belongings from university of tennessee knoxville, everyone knows shes not from knoxville and it would be a shame to let them stay if she is a jellico native, thanks.and shes by far a legend... for all of opra..

Robert F. Lancaster, 08-25-2003 22:25:09, United States
While at an auction, my parents bought Ms. Moore''s silver punch bowl with cups, an engagement ring, and a porcelain goddess named "Hoti" (not sure of spelling). My parents passed these items on to me upon their death, and I have kept them with fond memories of Ms. Moore and her beautiful voice.

Ricardo Vaquero Cemborain, 08-15-2003 15:53:04, Spain
I wish I could have meet her. She was the sister-in-law of my grandma (Valentin Parera''s sister). I''m happy to find this homepage!

Regina LeBorg, 08-12-2003 13:25:00, United States
Thanks for paying homage to a deserving icon. My father directed her first "Carmen". He was quite fond of her. Let me know if your play comes to Los Angeles.

Bill Claiborne, 08-05-2003 11:55:43, United States
Terrific site! I didn''t know about the Elvis reference. I''m from nearby La Follette > home of the equally legendary Howard "Louie Bluie" Armstrong who performed for Grace at one time! May their ''stars'&# 039; forever shine!!

Dorothea Partain Hudson, 06-07-2003 20:08:34, United States

My father, Edw. E. Partain, worked for Grace Moore''s father, managing his hosiery mill in Telford, TN, and traveling often to Jellico to see Mr. Moore. Grace''s brother, Martin, came to visit us many times after we moved from TN to Texas. I remember sitting on his lap when I was a child. In 1939,when I was 14 years old, Grace appeared in the opera "Manon" in Dallas, TX. I had a scrapbook that I had been keeping up for some time and sent it to her hotel. She autographed it for me and invited me and my mother to come backstage to meet her after her performance. How thrilled I was to finally meet this lovely lady whom I had so admired! Unfortunately, my father was very ill at the time and passed away less than a month later. I still have that scrapbook after all these years and plan to pass it on to my granddaughter named Grace.

Loved the pictures, and would like to have copies of some of them.

Babsy, 05-21-2003 12:50:52, Germany

James Brophy, 04-16-2003 22:58:40, United States
At the untimely death of Grace Moore in 1947, I felt a great personal loss. She sent to me a beautiful picture. Before that time I enjoyed her great voice and since then have enjoyed her treasured recordings and motion pictures. She has always remained mny favorite.

Joseph W. Adams, 04-10-2003 17:23:08, United States
I lived directly across the street from the Moore home on 5th Street in Jellico, Tenn., 1966-69. I hated to hear that the house has been torn down.

Jack MacLeod, 04-06-2003 07:07:27, Canada
I saw many of Grace Moore''s movies when I was a boy and teenager, and I remember her as a most beautiful woman with a wonderful voice which had a great lyric quality. He name was mentioned on a CBC National radio show this morning and hopefully they will introduce more Canadians to her career and music - The Tennessee Nightengale. Regards

Johnny Cassada, 03-09-2003 20:07:59, United States

When I was growing up in Hazard, Kentucky, the postmistress was Anna Mae Moore. She was Grace''s aunt by marriage (I cannot think of Mr. Moore''s first name)but he used to come into my parents'' store to buy cigars. Mr. & Mrs. Moore would hear from Grace every year at Christmas. I remember reading about her plane accident when I was attending college.

Billie Reda Sowers, 01-15-2003 21:19:37, United States
Did Grace Moore ever visit her aunt and uncle in Hazard, KY?

Ron, 01-15-2003 14:22:15, none

I''ve been a Grace Moore fan since I was 14 years old (I''m now 49). Over those years I''ve heard many, many Operatic singers. Especially, the singers from the first part of the 20th century. Having Mary Garden as her tutor, and Dorothy Kirsten as her protegee, makes her, in a line of a truly unique 20th century Operatic sound. It is imbued with the traditions of ''bel canto'' yet evolved into a new and almost ''electrified&# 039;' experience. She had eveything and will always be one of my favorites. Thanks for the web-site. Ron

The True- Life Movie Channel currently is sponsoring reruns of"So This is Love"- but I often wonder about the accuracies of the film?

Grace Moore''s father was not named Joe. Mr. Moore was named Richard if I am not mistaken. He had two son, Jim and Dick, and a daughter Emily. The family left Jellico many, many years ago and moved to Chattanooga, TN. They were owners of Loveman''s store and probably have many family members still in Chattanooga.

I was very interested to come across this site. My mother''s family purchased the Grace Moore home, and my mother grew up there. I lived there the first five years of my life.I would love to hear from anyone!

To whom it may concern,

Just by chance I read a small article about the late Grace Moore in our senior newspaper. In my teenage years she was one of my idols, and after the plane crash in Denmark I saved a special edition of the Dutch Newspaper "Het Parool", (27 Jan. 1947),plus a few other clips and photographs, all in the Dutch language of course. Strangely enough, they quoted that Grace was born on the 5th of Dec. 1901. in a small village Jellico in Tennessee, and somewhere in your website they mentioned her birthyear as 1898. ?? Can somebody please clarify this. Regards Ko Banen.

My mama was borned & raised in Jellico TN and she said Grace and the Smoky Mountains was its best claim to fame.

What a jewel - I''ve been fascinated by Grace since seeing Kathryn Grayson''s portrayal. I had the soundtrack on 45s and had memorized all the numbers in my 12-yr old voice. I located her autobiography in the library a few years ago - enjoyed it immensely. I live in Virginia and would be very interested in traveling to TN to see the play when it is produced - please send more info when available. Thanks for a good time - also enjoyed the song snippets.

What a find!! Thank you for loving Grace Moore too. I have enjoyed her music, films and what information I''ve been

able to glean thru the years.

The first time I heard the aria, Unbeldi, was sung by Ms. Moore in the film, "One Night of Love"..in 1950...I''ve never recovered...you guessed?

The idea of a play about Ms. Moore is intriguing to me. I''d

like to know,when it will take place in Jellico,TN.

Thanks again for keeping her alive..I would have loved to have known her.

Sincerely, pat clark

ps. Would you have any idea where a copy of her autobiography might be located? Or biographies?

I''d appreciate what information you might have.

Hi, Cathy! Great site. I was wondering if you had any information on Grace Moore''s family. According to my grandmother, her mother, Minerva (Moore) Gilbert, was a cousin of Grace Moore. If you know where I might find more about Grace Moore''s family background, I would really appreciate it. If not, I understand, and thanks anyway!

Deborah S., 01-20-2002 19:31:37, Canada
Just thought that I would leave a message in your guestbook so that you knew that I had finally looked at your website on Grace Moore. I still have to admit that I have never heard of her before. Her talents must have touched you though to inspire you to create this website dedicated to her and to write a play about her life. Good luck with the play!

Greetings! I am trying to track down a family story that one Louis Peltier was Grace Moore''s pianist and he perished in the plance crash with her. Do you have any idea how I could confirm or refute this? Many thanks, Nancy Fraser Yellowknife NT Canada 867-873-9641

I still don''t know who Grace Moore is, other than what you''ve told me. But I must say that the site looks great and I''m sure Ms Moore would be pleased.

Jeff King, 09-26-2001 04:08:55, United States
What a wonderful site. Grace Moore was a treasure to the human race. I hope you can expand the site and show pictures from all her movies. Grace wrote an autobiography which is a great read. I''d love to get a copy of this play. It''s been a dream of mine to write a screenplay about her life myself. Keep up the good work! Jeff P.S. I have more pics of her I could scan and send. =0)
