Q&A: Clayton Moore’s daughter to celebrate the ‘Lone Ranger Creed’ in Burbank
Actor Clayton Moore left behind three masks when he died in 1999. Each one dated back to the 1950s, when Moore starred as the heroic Lone Ranger on TV and in two feature films, riding off into the sunset with a yell of “Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!”
One of those masks ended up in the Smithsonian, another belongs to a private collector, and the last still resides with his daughter, Dawn Moore. On Wednesday, Sept. 10, she marks the 100th year since her father’s birth by sharing that mask with visitors to the Warner Bros. VIP Studio Tour in Burbank, where she will talk about her father and the famous Western crime-fighter amid a larger collection of Ranger memorabilia. She plans to auction off the mask later this year.
Dawn Moore, whose own career is in luxury retail and marketing, expects to spend more time this year remembering her father’s career and his commitment to the old “Lone Ranger Creed,” which declared, “That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.”

A daughter remembers the Lone Ranger
As TV’s Lone Ranger in the 1950s, Clayton Moore was a hero both on and off the screen.
“I still get letters from policemen, firemen, and teachers who say they chose a career in service because of him,” said daughter Dawn Moore from Los Angeles. “He not only acted out the Lone Ranger’s Creed on TV, but lived it.”
The Creed, written by Fran Striker in 1933 for the original Lone Ranger radio show, was an ethical guide that emphasized friendship, respect, truth, God, country and, remarkably for the period, stewardship for the planet.
“It’s important for me now to look back as an adult and understand that my father was not preachy,” said Dawn. “He led his life and really made his decisions each day on the Lone Ranger Creed. And that is really quite extraordinary parenting, leading by example. He didn’t tell me what to do and what not to do ever, so I made plenty of mistakes and he let me make them. But fortunately for me, my father was an excellent example to follow.”
Like many busy actors, duties on location sets would often mean sacrificing home time for Moore.
