For over twenty years, millions of people have enjoyed her portrayal of "Miss Minnie".Cindy learned her craft from the original Minnie Pearl, Sarah Cannon. Sarah discovered Cindy portraying "Miss Minnie" in Opryland's COUNTRY MUSIC U.S.A. and saw something she liked in the young performer. She took Cindy under her wing and schooled Moore in the finer points of the Minnie Pearl Character. Today, when folks ask Cindy, "Oh, are you the new Minnie Pearl?" She respectfully declines with, "There's only one Sarah Cannon, and there's only one Minnie Pearl. I'm just here to keep the legend going for you."
