 Mandy Moore was born in Nashua on April 10, 1984. She moved to Orlando,
Florida at the age of two months and she continues to reside there with her
family. Mandy Moore is best known as one of the teen pop music divas but has added
acting to her resume, appearing in several feature films.
Mandy Moore discovered her love of singing at the age of nine after attending a
summer music camp. She became known in Orlando as the “National Anthem Girl,”
singing the Star Spangled Banner at many high profile sporting events. Her
career took off after the release of her first album So Real, followed by
tours with N-Sync and the Backstreet Boys. After a second album, I Wanna Be
with You went Platinum, Mandy Moore decided it was time to take the reigns of her
singing career.
She released a self-titled album to critical acclaim in 2001. A third album,
Coverage, a compilation of cover songs, was released in 2003, followed by
a “Best of” album in 2004. But Mandy Moore is not just a pop music diva, she's an
actress. Mandy Moore began taking on small roles at first and finally landed a lead
role in an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, A Walk to Remember. She
has also appeared in The Princess Diaries, How to Deal, Chasing Liberty
and Saved with Mary Louise Parker and Macaulay Culkin. In August 2006,
she will appear in a musical film called Romance and Cigarettes, with
James Gandolfini and Kate Winslet. She has several films on the horizon,
including the film Dedication with Harvey Keitel, and the sci-fi film
Southland Tales where she'll co-star with Sarah Michelle Gellar and “The
Rock.”
Mandy Moore is the fresh face of Neutrogena and has recently become the
spokesperson for Coach Handbags. A Greatest Hits CD was released on November 16,
2004. In addition, she has launched a vintage inspired tee shirt line called Mblem. Each tee features her favorite lyrics from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. A
portion of the proceeds from the sale of each shirt benefits the Leukemia and
Lymphoma Society, which is dedicated to finding a cure for the deadly diseases.
