Remembering Tedde Moore and Miss Shields | Cleveland News

Tedde Moore, the unforgettable voice of Miss Shields in the beloved holiday classic “A Christmas Story,” has passed away at 79. Known for her tough-but-tender portrayal that became a cherished part of Christmas movie lore, Moore was also a resilient artist who continued acting despite living with multiple sclerosis since 2009. Nominated for a Genie Award and the only original cast member to return for the sequel, she built a decades-long career including roles in “Rolling Vengeance” and “The Kennedys.” Always grateful for her “Christmas Story family,” she credited the film’s magic to its director and heartfelt script. Her final role was in “Her Magical Christmas,” and she is survived by her children and foster daughter. Loved for her warmth, wisdom, and unwavering spirit, Moore leaves behind a legacy as timeless as the film she helped make iconic.
