Remembering Tedde Moore, Miss Shields | Cleveland News

A beloved acting legend has passed away—Tedde Moore, the unforgettable Miss Shields from “A Christmas Story,” died at 79 surrounded by loved ones. Known for that iconic soap-in-the-mouth scene and the legendary “you’ll shoot your eye out” line, Moore was a Canadian powerhouse whose career spanned decades beyond the holiday classic. Nominated for a Genie Award and the only original cast member to return for the sequel, she proved her range in films like “The Kennedys” and kept working even while living with multiple sclerosis. Her family praised her courage, humor, and deep connections—with castmates still calling each other “the boys” decades later. Moore’s final role was in “Her Magical Christmas,” where she credited the creators for the film’s enduring magic. She leaves behind children and a foster daughter, and her legacy as Miss Shields will forever be part of our holiday memories.
