## Names and identity
Database records attach several names to one person: Kymberly Yazzie, Carmen Kym Moore, and Carmen K Moore.[1](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/2445050)
Name confusion is a documented problem in her record. A separate IMDb entry describes a different Carmen Moore, born 1979 in [Gallup, New Mexico](https://www.edgepedia.org/gallup-new-mexico), who died July 4, 2014 at age 35.[3](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3831393/) The two people share a name and a Southwestern origin but have distinct birth and death dates, and name-based database records can conflate them.
## Career
Moore worked with most of the top adult studios that produced trans pornography.[1](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/2445050) Her listed adult titles include *Transsexual Cheerleaders 4* (2010), *Rogue Adventures 36* (2012), and *Transsexual Babysitters 25* (2014).[1](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/2445050) The reference record states she appeared in 34 original features after a 2008 debut, while the TMDB-derived database lists 22 acting credits in total, adult and mainstream combined.[1](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/2445050)
Her mainstream breakthrough was the role of Felixia in *Drunktown's Finest* (2014), directed by Sydney Freeland.[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5871820/) • [1](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/2445050) The reference record states she was nominated for Best Actress at the 2014 American Indian Film Festival for this performance, and IMDb corroborates one award nomination on her record,[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5871820/) though the excerpts do not name the festival directly.
She later played Shayla in *Transfinite* (2019), released June 1, 2019, after her death, and appeared as herself in one 2014 episode of the series *How We Make Movies*.[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5871820/) • [1](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/2445050)
## By the numbers
Her documented screen record is thin: 22 listed acting credits,[1](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/2445050) two post-adult-industry features with modest IMDb user ratings (6.8 for *Drunktown's Finest*, 6.3 for *Transfinite*),[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5871820/) and one award nomination.[2](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5871820/) The numbers measure more than one career. They also show how sparsely a transgender Native American performer of this era is captured in the mainstream film record: her mainstream roles number two, and basic facts such as her death date differ between records.[1](https://www.filmnoir.app/links/tmdb/person/2445050)
