Ashleigh Ashton Moore was born as Ashley Rogers on September 30, 1981. Her parents were Cynthia Moore, a CNA (Certified nursing assistant) and James Moore, who wasn't around for much of her life. She attended a private school in Sunnyvalle until third grade when she left to spend full time on her acting. Her mother tutored her and helped her to pursue the dreams she'd had since she was four. Ashleigh's largest role was in Souvenirs d'un été (1995) ... for which the relatively tiny star had to pack on 20 pounds. For Ashleigh, who loved to eat, this was no problem. She has done a few more jobs since then but after about 1997 decided to stop acting. She died in December 2007 of pneumonia and bronchitis at the age of 26.
