Career

Shore co-starred in several Walt Disney productions featuring the Mouseketeers, and thus came to be associated with them. She appeared as Annette Funicello's rival Laura Rogan in and as French-speaking Franceska in The Shaggy Dog.
Aside from Disney, Shore had a featured role in the 1959 screen version of Blue Denim, duetting with Warren Berlinger, and an uncredited cameo appearance in A Summer Place as Sandra Dee's gossipy schoolmate Anne Talbert. Later she played Ricky Summers in the 1960 movie Because They're Young, Jenny Bell in The Young Savages, and in an uncredited role as Lorna in Stanley Kubrick's 1962 version of Lolita.
Shore's television credits include appearances on Playhouse 90, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, The Donna Reed Show, The Lawrence Welk Show, several Western series including Maverick, Wagon Train, The Tall Man, Laramie and Lawman, and regular roles on Father Knows Best, The New Bob Cummings Show and The Virginian.
Shore featured prominently as a series regular within the first three seasons of The Virginian as Betsy Garth, the daughter of Shiloh Ranch owner Judge Garth played by Lee J. Cobb.
After the mid-1960s, Shore did little in the way of movies or television. In 1962, she starred alongside Candy Moore in a failed television pilot Time Out for Ginger. She emerged in 1984 as a radio disc jockey and program host in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Personal life

Active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, She and her husband auditioned for the parts of Ishmael and his wife Leah in a 2004 of the Book of Mormon.
While her husband won the role of Ishmael, the producers felt Shore's earlier fame would detract from the movie's message and chose actress Sheryl Lee Wilson to play Leah. As a child Roberta was cast as the Yodeler for "It's a Small World".
