Victor Moore

Victor Fred Moore (February 24, 1876 – July 23, 1962) was an American actor of stage and screen, a major Broadway star from the late 1920s through the 1930s. He was also a writer and director, but is best remembered today as a comedian, playing timid, mild-mannered roles. Today's audiences know him as the star of a Christmas-themed movie that has become a perennial: It Happened on 5th Avenue (1947). Moore plays a vagrant who occupies a millionaire's mansion—without the millionaire's knowledge—while the owner is vacationing.

Birth and Death Data: Born Hammonton (town in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States), Died July 23, 1962 (East Islip (hamlet and CDP in the Town of Islip, Suffolk County, New York, United States) )
