Maggie Moor- Actor- NYC

Maggie Moor - Actor
Maggie Moor is a New York–based actor, singer‑songwriter, psychoanalyst, and writer whose work spans stage, screen, music, and literature. The great‑granddaughter of vaudeville song‑and‑dance duo Charlie Brown and Mae Newman, she carries a family lineage of performance into contemporary projects across mediums.
Theatre highlights include: Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (Studio Dante Workshop, dir. Michael Imperioli); Angela in Stano opposite Burt Young (Studio Dante Performance, dir. John Avildsen); May in Fool for Love (Stella Adler Studio, dir. Patrick Quagliano); and Bonnie in Hurlyburly (William Esper Studio), as well as productions with 646 Productions and at New York Comedy Club. On screen, she has appeared opposite Dee Snider in Twisted Sister’s “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” (2007) and “Silver Bells” (2009) music videos, worked as a day player on As the World Turns and All My Children, contributed to CBS Sports’ Super Bowl Highlights, and collaborated as a co‑writer and actor with filmmaker Richard Stanley. She is a graduate of the two‑year conservatory programs at both the William Esper Studio and the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.
As a recording artist—also releasing music under the family moniker Charmay—Maggie has three albums of original, jazz‑inflected ambient and jazz‑blues music, and has recorded with jazz and rock legends including David Sanborn, Kenny Rampton (Wynton Marsalis), Richie Cannata (Billy Joel), Rob Paparozzi (Blood, Sweat & Tears), drummer Buddy Williams, and Eddie Ojeda (Twisted Sister). She has performed at venues including The Cutting Room, The Knitting Factory, and The Stone Pony.
As a New York City author and NYSED‑licensed psychoanalyst, her professional work focuses on PTSD, addiction, and the internal “split.” She is the creator of the Charmay: New York Noir series, featuring her debut novel, Skinless: The Story of a Female Survivor, and its companion album, Skinless: Songs from the Book, recorded with Kenny Rampton and Eddie Ojeda. Her “street poetry” noir is a visceral, first‑person descent into raw interiority through the jagged paths of survival and artistry. Her psychological fiction—hailed as “undeniably powerful” by BookLife and a “must‑read” by IndieReader—explores gritty depictions of the internal split, the blurred lines of performance, and the neurological cost of trauma in New York City.
Skinless: The Story of a Female Survivor—set in New York City at the turn of the millennium—was published in 2021 as the first title in the Charmay: New York Noir series. Her revised and expanded Second Edition (Writer’s Edit, 2025) has been compared to The Bell Jar and Patti Smith’s Just Kids.
Maggie holds a NYC Doctoral Equivalency Certificate in Psychoanalysis from the New York Graduate School of Psychoanalytic Studies and is a NYSED‑licensed psychoanalyst with a Gradiva‑nominated clinical thesis, “Coloring Outside the Lines.” She is the author of I AM: Your Guide to Mind and Body Union for Total Awareness (Archway/Simon & Schuster), maintains a clinical practice focused on trauma and addiction, and is a national‑level NPC athlete.
