==Later career== After Kuttner's death in 1958, Moore continued teaching her writing course at the [[University of Southern California]], but permanently retired from writing any further literary fiction. Instead, working as "Catherine Kuttner", she carved out a short-lived career as a scriptwriter for [[Warner Bros.]] television, writing episodes of the westerns ''[[Sugarfoot]]'', ''[[Maverick (TV series)|Maverick]]'', and ''[[The Alaskans]]'', as well as the detective series ''[[77 Sunset Strip]]'', all between 1958 and 1962. However, upon marrying Thomas Reggie (who was not a writer) in 1963, she ceased writing entirely. Moore was the author guest of honor at [[Kansas City, Missouri]]'s fantasy and science fiction convention [[ConQuesT|BYOB-Con 6]], held over the U.S. [[Memorial Day]] weekend in May 1976. She was a pro guest of honor at [[39th World Science Fiction Convention|Denvention II]] (the 39th World Science Fiction Convention) in 1981. In a 1979 interview, she said that she and a writer friend were collaborating on a fantasy story, and how it could possibly form the basis of a new series. But nothing was ever published.<ref>{{cite book| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=nrHRuUiENFgC&dq=%22I+think+it+would+be+lots+of+fun.+I%27m+not+sure%2C+though%2C+I+have+the+necessary+discipline+to+make+a+comeback+as+a+science-fiction+writer%22&pg=PA50| title = Pulp Voices: Interviews with Pulp Magazine Writers and Editors| isbn = 9780893702571| last1 = Elliot| first1 = Jeffrey M.| date = January 1983| publisher = Wildside Press LLC}}</ref> In 1981, Moore received two annual awards for her career in fantasy literature: the [[World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement]], chosen by a panel of judges at the [[World Fantasy Convention]], and the [[Gandalf Grand Master Award]], chosen by vote of participants in the [[World Science Fiction Convention]].<ref name=SFAwards/> (Thus she became the eighth and final Grand Master of Fantasy, sponsored by the [[Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America]], in partial analogy to the Grand Master of Science Fiction sponsored by the [[Science Fiction Writers of America]].) Moore was an active member of the Tom and Terri Pinckard Science Fiction literary [[Salon (gathering)|salon]] and a frequent contributor to literary discussions with the regular membership, including [[Robert Bloch]], [[George Clayton Johnson]], [[Larry Niven]], [[Jerry Pournelle]], [[Norman Spinrad]], [[A. E. van Vogt]], and others, as well as many visiting writers and speakers.
