If you would like to see the list of works I have been affiliated with go to my web site: www.mickymoore.com I hope you reach the other Mr. Moore and enjoy your collection of autographs. Sincerely”. Michael Moore (1914-2013) was a Canadian-born American film director, second unit director, and child actor. At the age of five he appeared in his first film (The Unpainted Woman) under the stage name "Mickey Moore". He appeared in two dozen films, including The Dramatic Life of Abraham Lincoln (1924), until 1927 when he was 13. In the early 1950s, Moore began his directing career and worked on dozens of major motion pictures including The Ten Commandments (1956), and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957). He was an assistant director on several Elvis Presley musical films and directed Presley in the film Paradise, Hawaiian Style (1966) for Paramount Pictures. Because of that, plus his experience directing a western film, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer hired him to direct rock and roll singer Roy Orbison in The Fastest Guitar Alive (1967). Moore was still active as a second unit director into his eighties. Corners rounded and creased. Normal mailing folds. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
