Pup Culture: Rachel Moore 1993 - 2008

I just got the sad news that legendary comic Steven Moore's adorable dog Rachel passed away. Steve has been a huge inspiration to many of us at WOW. Many years ago, we were fortunate enough to direct and produce an HBO special, Drop Dead Gorgeous: A Tragi-comedy on the Power of HIV Positive Thinking, based on his one-man show. Thanks to his incredible talent and bravery, the show won a Cable Ace Award. Rachel was a major presence during the production of the show, and even got to share the spotlight (see clip above). She will be missed.
