Demi Moore at Demimoorefan.com

Demi Moore is an American actress. She became well-known after a string of 1980s teen-oriented movies, and mutated into one of the best-known actresses in 1990s Hollywood. Moore is also known for her marriages to songwriter Freddy Moore and actors Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher.
In the early 1980s, Moore posed for a series of soft-core 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. 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.
Moore spent her General Hospital salaries on parties and drug abuse. Her cocaine habit lasted more than three years until 1985, when director Joel Schumacher fired her from the set of St. Elmo’s Fire when she arrived on the set intoxicated. She received withdrawal treatment and returned clean after a week. (Incidentally, Moore’s character in St. Elmo’s Fire, Jules, was also a cocaine addict.) Moore had to sign a contract stipulating that she would cease her alcohol and drug abuse, an agreement that caused her life to turn around. In the 1980s, she appeared in several youth-oriented films, and was mentioned as being a member of the “Brat Pack”.
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, and Indecent Proposal, and 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. Moore’s reputation suffered when the starring vehicles The Scarlet Letter, The Juror, Striptease, and G.I. Jane (a movie in which Moore shaved off all her long hair on camera, leaving her head totally bald) failed at the box office and garnered mixed reviews.
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 in the 2003 film Charlie’s Angels 2: Full Throttle.
