Moore, Demi

Demi Gene Moore ( də-MEE; née Guynes; born November 11, 1962) is an American actress. After rising to prominence in the early 1980s, Moore became the world's highest-paid actress by 1995. Her accolades include a Golden Globe Award and a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award. Moore began her career as a model and joined the cast of the soap opera General Hospital in 1981. After departing the show in 1983, she rose to prominence as a member of the Brat Pack, with roles in the films Blame It on Rio (1984), St. Elmo's Fire (1985), and About Last Night... (1986). She emerged a star with her portrayal of a grieving artist in the romance film Ghost (1990), and had further box office success in A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994). In 1996, she voiced Esmeralda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and received a then-unprecedented $12.5 million to star in Striptease. Moore's output decreased significantly after The Scarlet Letter (1995), The Juror (1996), and G.I. Jane (1997) fell below commercial expectations. She then held sporadic leading roles in arthouse films; supporting roles in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), Bobby (2006), Mr. Brooks (2007), and Margin Call (2011); as well as television credits in If These Walls Could Talk (1996), Empire (2017–2018), and Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (2024). She received renewed critical recognition for her performance as an aging celebrity in the body horror film The Substance (2024), winning a Golden Globe for Best Actress. Moore has been married three times. From 1981 to 1985, she was married to musician Freddy Moore. From 1987 to 2000, she was married to Bruce Willis, with whom she has three daughters. She was married to Ashton Kutcher from 2005 to 2013. Her memoir Inside Out (2019) became a New York Times Best Seller.
