Melissa Moore, (born December 27, 1963), in Versailles, Kentucky, USA, is American actress, model, and multi-World Champion American Saddlebred horse trainer and rider. She is best known for her extensive work in B-movies during the late 1980s and 1990s, and has continued to work in film to the present day. Moore graduated from Woodford County High School before attending Brooks College in Long Beach, California, where she excelled as the valedictorian of her class, studying business and fashion design. Her acting career began in 1987 with the film *Evil Spawn*. She quickly became a fixture in the B-movie scene, appearing in cult classics like *Samurai Cop* (1991), *Sorority House Massacre II* (1990), and *Hard to Die* (1990). Her role as Lorda in the 1993 martial arts action film *Angelfist*, produced by Roger Corman and Cirio H. Santiago, is a highlight of her filmography. Beyond her film work, Moore is a highly accomplished American Saddlebred horse trainer and rider, holding over 50 World Champion titles. She owns and operates Sunrise Stables in Versailles, Kentucky, and at 6'0" (183cm) tall, has also worked extensively as a model in print, runway, and commercials, demonstrating a diverse range of talents. Adding a unique dimension to her career is the 1995 comic book series "Melissa Moore, Bodyguard," published by Draculina Publishing, which was based on her. Recent film credits, such as *Puppet Master: Doktor Death* (2022) and *A Country Music Christmas* (2024), confirm that Moore has remained active in the film industry.
