Three-time Tony winner Peters and multiple Emmy winner Moore co-starred in the 1990 movie The Last Best Year and co-founded the pet adoption charity Broadway Barks, which celebrated its 19th annual Shubert Alley event this past summer.
At the time of Moore's death, Peters told Playbill, “She was a brilliant, sensitive, iconic actor and a precious friend to me. There are no words to describe how I cherished our friendship. I will miss her dearly.”
In the ABC program Peters spoke of her late friend's generosity: “Mary was always there for me… Mary was a very generous person… She actually gave me my wedding at her house.”
Watch the interview below:
Peters will return to Broadway beginning January 20, 2018, in the title role of the Tony-winning revival of Hello, Dolly!
