Demi Moore (born Demetria Gene Guynes on November 11, 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico) is an American actress. She became well-known after a string of 1980s teen-oriented movies, and became one of the best known actresses in 1990s Hollywood.
BiographyEarly lifeMoore was born in Roswell, New Mexico, but spent much of her childhood and teenage years in the suburbs of Pittsburgh (Perryopolis, Pennsylvania). As a child, she had a difficult and unstable home life. Her biological father, Charles Harmon, left her mother, Virginia, after a two-month marriage, before Moore was born. As a result, Moore had the surname of her stepfather, Danny Guynes, on her birth certificate. Danny Guynes, who committed suicide in 1980, frequently changed jobs and made the family move a total of forty times. Moore's parents were also alcoholics and often fought and beat each other. Operations on Moore's left eye during childhood required her to wear an eyepatch.
CareerAfter quitting school, Moore went to work as a pin-up girl, modelled for European photgraphers, and worked at a collection agency. In the early 1980s, Moore posed for a series of photographs featuring full frontal nudity. These photos went unnoticed until after she became a star, and were eventually published in a German magazine and later in North America. Moore's film debut was in the 1982 3-D science fiction/horror film, Parasite, which was a hit on the drive-in circuit, ultimately grossing $6 million.[1] However, Moore was not widely known until she played the part of Jackie Templeton on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital, from 1982 to 1983. Appropriately, she also had an uncredited cameo at the end of the 1982 spoof Young Doctors in Love. In the mid 1980s, she was mentioned as being a member of the Brat Pack and appeared in the youth-oriented films St. Elmo's Fire and About Last Night. For a time during the 1990s, Moore was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. She had a string of box-office successes, including Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal and Disclosure for which she was the first actress to reach the $10 million salary mark. Among other films for which Moore was considered were Basic Instinct, Batman & Robin, Flashdance, Runaway Bride, and While You Were Sleeping.
In August 1991, Moore appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine while seven months pregnant with her daughter Scout LaRue, with enormous attendant publicity. The image was endlessly parodied (including by Spy magazine, which placed her then-husband Bruce Willis's head on her body), but also spawned honest imitators as other pregnant celebrities posed nude. Moore again appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair in August 1992, wearing only a body painted "suit". After a break from her acting career, Moore returned to the screen as a former member of Charlie's Angels gone bad in the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. In 2006, she appeared in Bobby which featured an all-star cast including her husband Ashton Kutcher although they did not appear in any scenes together. She has been described by her Passion of Mind co-star Joss Ackland as "not very bright or talented".[2] She appeared in Jon Bon Jovi's longform video "Destination Anywhere" as Janie.[3] Personal lifeMoore's primary residence is in Hailey, Idaho, near the famous Sun Valley resort, although she spends much time in the Los Angeles area with Kutcher. She is a practicing follower of the Rabbi Philip Berg's Kabbalah Centre religion, and initiated Kutcher into the faith. She is also a passionate raw foodist (raw foodism) or live-vegan. She also is the mother of three daughters: Rumer Willis (born in 1988), Scout Willis (born in 1991), Tallulah Willis (born in 1994). All three children are with her ex-husband, Bruce Willis. As of March 2007, it is rumored that she is expecting her first child with current husband Ashton Kutcher. Selected filmography
