In 1962, she was cast as Lucille Ball's daughter, Chris Carmichael, on CBS's The Lucy Show. Moore remained a regular on The Lucy Show through the end of the 1964–65 season, after which the premise of the show was retooled and most of the supporting cast was written out. Moore also appeared nine times on ABC's The Donna Reed Show, five of which as Angie Quinn, the girlfriend of series character Jeff Stone (Paul Petersen).
In 1961-62, she portrayed the part of Gillian Favor in two episodes of Rawhide. Moore also starred in a television pilot called Time Out For Ginger, which aired on CBS on September 18, 1962. However, it didn't sell.
