Demi Moore
Demi Moore (Demi Gene Guynes) was born on November 11th, 1962 and is currently 62 years old. Demi Moore was born in Roswell, New Mexico, USA.
Demi Moore is an American actress who became one of the best-paid actresses in the world in 1995.
As a child, her parents divorced before she was born, and hence she was brought up by her stepfather, Danny Guynes, and her mother, Virginia, both of whom were alcoholics.
By the time she was 14, the family had moved at least 30 times before taking root in Los Angeles. Moving around meant she had to learn to adapt to new people and surroundings very quickly. This would significantly contribute to her becoming an actor as an adult.
At sixteen, she dropped out of school and then worked as a model and debt collector before she became interested in a career as an actress. She got her first role in 1981 when she was cast in
General Hospital, then a very popular TV show, where she played Jackie Templeton, the journalist, for two years.
After leaving
General Hospital, she struggled to make it in film as most of her films never went anywhere. She was the lead role in
No Small Affair and played the daughter of Michael Caine in
Blame It on Rio. But it was not until she put in a good performance in the 1985 release
St. Elmo’s Fire that things began to happen.
Moore’s biggest breakthrough was when she was cast in
Ghost, the romantic drama, as a young woman named Molly whose husband was murdered. In 1995, she would make history when she netted $12.5 million for the 1996 movie
Striptease, which made her the highest-paid female actor at the time.
In 2024, Moore won the Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy Golden Globe for her role as Elisabeth Sparkle in
The Substance, a body horror movie.
Beyond her acting, Demi Moore published
Inside Out, a memoir that explores her struggles with substance abuse, Hollywood stardom, and a chaotic childhood. As she achieved more success, she found herself questioning her place in the film industry and whether she was a good actress or mother.
While the story has elements of dealing with adversity, it is also a reflective and candid memoir about tremendous resilience. She lets everything out as she opens up about her personal life and career, including balancing her family with stardom, her marriages, and the chaotic relationship with her mother.
