Actress and Singer Mandy Moore
Video: An Inexpensive Way to Care For Your Pets!
Approximately 73 million households in the United States have one or more pets, with dogs and cats accounting for approximately three-quarters. And Americans are so concerned about their pets that 16-percent of dog owners and 13-percent of cat owners stated that their animal's medical treatment would take priority over their own. And now actress, singer, and animal advocate Mandy Moore is elevating the importance of animal healthcare and protecting pets.
Mandy will be the first to take a pledge to protect animals (sponsored by PetArmor, the first EPA-approved generic flea and tick treatment with firpronil both dogs and cats) and will encourage your viewers to do the same, creating a community committed to better health for all pets. PetArmor will donate $1.00 (up to $100,000 total) to the ASPCA for each pledge taken. Mandy will share with your viewers why animals and their welfare are so important to her, why she has chosen to take this animal protection pledge, how your viewers can take the pledge themselves, and why she supports the ASPCA.
About Mandy Moore:
Actress and recording artist Mandy Moore continues to challenge herself and grow with each succeeding project.
Moore's talents can be appreciated in her most recent project as the voice of Rapunzel in Disney's animated hit film "Tangled." Her song, "I See the Light," earned the writers an Oscar nomination for Music (Original Song) and a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Original Song (Motion Picture).
Moore is currently in production on Chris Sparling's supernatural drama, "Falling Slowly," starring opposite Rodrigo Santoro. This film is set to be released in January of 2012. Moore also recently wrapped production on Dermot Mulroney's "Love, Wedding, Marriage" where she plays a newly-wed marriage counselor whose views on wedded bliss get thrown for a loop when she finds out her parents are getting divorced.
Prior to that, she released her sixth album, "Amanda Leigh" which received great critical acclaim. Moore took creative control and co-wrote the entire album. In a basement studio outside of Boston, Moore recorded the album filled with vintage instrumentation and songs that took her writing to a whole new level. TIME Magazine called it "...an impeccably recorded album of mature songs" while Rolling Stone lauded the effort with a four-star review. She's currently working on a follow-up album due out early next year.
Recent film credits include "License to Wed" opposite Robin Williams and John Krasinski; Justin Theroux's "Dedication" opposite Billy Crudup and "Because I Said So" opposite Diane Keaton.
Critics took notice of her performance in Brian Dannelly's acclaimed film "Saved" for United Artists. Moore's take on "the perfect Christian girl" who uses her personal relationship with Jesus to take advantage of everyone marked another step in her evolution as a film actress. This film was produced by Michael Stipe and Sandy Stern and co-stars Jena Malone, Eva Amurri, Macaulay Culkin, Patrick Fugit and Mary-Louise Parker. Additional film credits include Richard Kelly's "Southland Tales;" Paul Weitz's "American Dreamz" opposite Hugh Grant; John Turturro's musical, "Romance and Cigarettes" with James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet and Mary-Louise Parker; "Chasing Liberty" and "How to Deal." Moore lent her voice to the animated comedy "Racing Stripes." She starred opposite Shane West in Adam Shankman's box-office success "A Walk to Remember", earning an MTV Movie Award for Breakthrough Female Performance. She also performed four songs featured on the film's soundtrack which has sold over 4 million albums worldwide.
As a recording artist, Moore came to national attention with the 1999 release of her debut album, "So Real," which reached platinum status in a remarkable three months and produced the top ten single "Candy." Moore's second album, "I Wanna Be With You (Special Edition)" was released in May 2000 and also went platinum. Her self-titled third album, another major seller, featured the hit single "Cry." Her critically acclaimed fourth album, "Coverage," released in 2003, featured her mature and adventurous approaches to a remarkable collection of classic and personal favorite songs by Elton John, Joan Armatrading, Todd Rundgren and Cat Stevens, among many others.
Moore released her fifth album, "Wild Hope," in the Summer of 2007 for which she received much critical acclaim. The album represented an exciting new direction for the recording artist. In a groundbreaking label deal, Moore had total artistic control. All of the songs were co-written by Moore in collaboration with critically acclaimed singer/songwriters Lori McKenna, Rachael Yamagata and The Weepies. The album was produced by John Alagia (Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Liz Phair).
On television, Moore recently appeared in the special 2-hour finale of "Grey's Anatomy" and will reprise her role in a special episode this fall. She also appeared on the popular comedy "Scrubs" and guest-starred as herself on the hit series "Entourage."
Currently, Moore is the Ambassador for PSI's Five & Alive Organization which provides children and their families with the education, products, services and care needed to improve health and save lives in more than 30 countries. She recently returned from a trip to Southern Sudan where she took part in a mission to spread awareness of water purification, set up the first installment of three million malaria nets as well as an HIV/AIDS education program.
