I never had any thoughts or dreams about being on Hollywood and Vine in pavement," Moore said.
Moore told the ABC daytime news program, "GMA3: What You Need to Know" that she was "stunned" when she was first informed that she would be receiving a star. Moore said a donor, whose name she did not disclose, contributed $55,000 toward the $75,000 sponsorship fee required upon selection. She also received other donations.
Moore received a best featured actress in a musical Tony in 1970 for her portrayal of Lutiebelle Gussie Mae Jenkins, a naive, innocent and good- hearted young woman who had been a servant in a white household and attempts to help a preacher Purlie Victorious Judson acquire an old barn that once was used as a church in "Purlie."
Moore received a Grammy nomination in 1977 for best female R&B vocal performance for the ballad "Lean On Me." Natalie Cole won for "Sophisticated Lady ." Moore has released 28 albums, including 10 that made both the Billboard 200 and what were variously known as the soul, top Black albums and R&B charts.
