Melba Moore began her career in the ground breaking Broadway musical "Hair," where she originated the role of Dionne. During her 18 months in the show, she eventually replaced Dianne Keaton.

Right after "Hair" came the role of Lutiebelle Gussiemae Jenkins in the long running musical, "Purlie," which won Melba the Tony Award for Best Supporting Actress in a musical.

In 1996 Melba took over the role of "Fantine" in the Broadway musical "Les Miserables."

She was in the 2003 movie, "The Fighting Temptations," along with Beyonce', and Cuba Gooding Jr.

Melba, who's survived her share of pain, has come back from the depths of despair, and overcome the hard times.
