Ruth Moore was not interested in a Hollywood version of life on Maine’s islands, but Hollywood was certainly interested in her.
Moore, who grew up on Great Gott Island near Acadia National Park, was a New York Times best-selling author, beginning in the 1940s. Her second novel, “Spoonhandle,” was so popular and compelling that 20th Century Fox made a major film based on it called “Deep Waters,” starring some of the day’s best-known actors, including Dana Andrews and Jean Peters.
