Although Moore was a huge star in her day, approximately half of her films are now considered lost, including her first talking picture from 1929. What was perhaps her most celebrated film, Flaming Youth (1923), is now mostly lost as well, with only one reel surviving.

After she returned, her four sound pictures released in 1933 and 1934 were not financial successes. She then retired permanently from screen acting.
