Moriarty isn’t listed as a cast member in IMDb. Perhaps she was just passing through Omaha :)

FYI - None of Eppridge’s Blackout Night photographs were published in the Life issue that ran the story of what happened that night. But he did run up 28 flights of stairs in the Time Life building to get his film to the lab…with a security guard trying to catch him. Bill made it.
Another shot by Bill Eppridge from Blackout Night in New York, November 9, 1965. You might call this a once in a lifetime opportunity, but Eppridge's long career is full of amazing shots.

We’ve never seen this before. It has probably been in the Life Picture Collection files since that night.
The big picture shots are great, obviously, but the keys for a great Life photographer are human interest & story-telling. Bill Eppridge took this great photograph in a candle-lit barber shop during the blackout. The woman in the fur coat takes this one to the next level.
