==Later years== [[File:Colleen hollywood.gif|upright|left|thumb|Moore in [[Kevin Brownlow]]'s series ''[[Hollywood (British TV series)|Hollywood]]'' (1980) recalls that the models for her hairstyle were Japanese dolls.]] In the 1960s, Moore formed a television production company with King Vidor, with whom she had worked in the 1920s. She published two books in the late 1960s, ''How Women Can Make Money in the Stock Market'' (1969) and her [[autobiography]], ''[[Silent Star|Silent Star: Colleen Moore Talks About Her Hollywood]]'' (1968). She also figures prominently alongside Vidor in [[Sidney D. Kirkpatrick]]'s book, ''A Cast of Killers'', which recounts Vidor's attempt to make a film about and solve the murder of [[William Desmond Taylor]]. In that book she is recalled as having been a successful real-estate broker in Chicago and partner in the investment firm [[Merrill Lynch]] after her film career.{{Citation needed |date=November 2021}} At the height of her fame, Moore was earning $12,500 per week. She was an astute investor, and through her investments remained wealthy for the rest of her life. In her later years, she would frequently attend film festivals and was a popular interview subject, always willing to discuss her Hollywood career. She was a participant in the documentary series ''[[Hollywood (British TV series)|Hollywood]]'' (1980), providing her recollections of Hollywood's silent film era.<ref>Amelie Hastie [http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/co/summary/v016/16.3hastie.html "History in Miniature: Colleen Moore's Dollhouse and Historical Recollection"], ''Camera Obscura'', 16.3 (2001), pp.113-157</ref>
