Biography of Demi Moore

Actress Demetria Gene Harmon's fate is as unpredictable as the kaleidoscope of her names – Gaines from her mother's second husband, Moore from her first marriage, and Kutcher from her third and current marriage. Screen star Demi Moore defies all existing stereotypes. She managed to rise above her troubled upbringing, pursue a career as a fashion model with her unconventional looks, overcome drug addiction and alcoholism, shave her head and grow her hair back, and maintain a friendly relationship between her second and third husbands. She has appeared in both successful and unsuccessful films. One of her most remarkable roles is 'G.I. Jane', a term that has become synonymous with strong and determined women, which perfectly suits Demi Moore's character.

Early Life

Future Hollywood celebrity Demi Moore was born on November 11, 1962, in Roswell, New Mexico. She was the child of a two-month marriage between pilot-turned-criminal Charles Harmon and Virginia King, an eighteen-year-old with a questionable reputation. The young girl faced serious health problems, including strabismus and kidney issues. Her mother's marriage to Danny Guynes did not improve the family's situation and they were considered trailer trash. Over the course of 18 years, her stepfather and mother changed residences 40 times, engaging in heavy drinking and fights. In 1980, Guynes took his own life by closing himself in a car and turning on the engine. Despite their chaotic life, Virginia Guynes had ambitious dreams for her daughter, who underwent multiple surgeries, attended dance classes, and training sessions. She even claimed credit for securing Demi's first role on a TV show.

Early Career and Personal Life

At the age of 16, Demi Guynes befriended her neighbor, Nastassja Kinski, who later became a famous actress. Kinski convinced her to pursue a career as a fashion model. Demi's unconventional appearance, with Cherokee Indian features and mismatched eyes, unexpectedly caught the attention of photographers, although most of the pictures taken at that time were softcore. At 18, she married 30-year-old rock musician Freddie Moore (rumored to escape her home), and their marriage lasted four years. This period of Demi's life was marked by her successful debut on television and in movies, as well as her struggle with cocaine and alcohol abuse. Her career in the film industry began in 1982 with her participation in the soap opera 'General Hospital' and the science fiction thriller 'Parasite.' She continued to appear in several films, but the majority of her earnings were spent on parties and drugs. In 1985, director Schumacher removed the young actress from the movie 'St. Elmo's Fire,' and Demi Moore entered a two-week treatment program, quitting drugs forever. During this time, she also had a close relationship with her co-star Emilio Estevez. The couple was ready to announce their engagement when, in 1987, Demi Moore met actor Bruce Willis at a premiere party for the film 'Blind Date.' Willis had already received a Golden Globe award for his role in the TV series 'Moonlighting.' They began a passionate romance that led to a lighthearted wedding in Las Vegas four months later, officiated by the legendary musician Little Richard. A month afterward, they had an official wedding ceremony in Los Angeles. Their early married life was often marked by arguments and scandals. However, after Demi announced her pregnancy, their marriage became exemplary, except for her provocative nude photos during her last months of pregnancy. Demi Moore gave birth to three daughters – Rumer Glenn (1988), Scout LaRue (1991), and Tallulah Belle (1994). During her marriage to Willis, she starred in the successful film 'Ghost' (1990), receiving a Golden Globe nomination and a Saturn Award.

Later Career and Personal Life

Despite her role as a caring wife and mother, Demi Moore pursued her own career aspirations. In 1991, she appeared in the film 'Ghost', a touching story about Sam Wheat (played by Patrick Swayze), who tries to make contact with his beloved Molly (played by Demi Moore) after his death. The film won two Academy Awards, and Moore was nominated for a Golden Globe and won a Saturn Award. Interestingly, Bruce Willis was originally supposed to play the lead role but turned it down, thinking the script was a failure. Another scandalous film featuring Demi Moore was 'Indecent Proposal' (1994). Despite its commercial success, the film also received a 'Golden Raspberry Award.' Nevertheless, Demi Moore became one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood, earning a record-breaking payment of $12.5 million for her role in 'Striptease' (1996), which had poorly executed stripping scenes. In 1997, she starred in another controversial film, 'G.I. Jane,' which also received a 'Golden Raspberry Award.' Rumors of conflicts in Moore and Willis' marriage began to surface in the media. In 1998, the model couple of Hollywood divorced but maintained a friendly relationship. There were several rumors of reconciliation, but in 2005, Demi Moore married comedian Ashton Kutcher, who was sixteen years her junior. Their relationship seemed stable, but they eventually divorced in 2013 after a two-year-long and difficult process, during which Moore's daughters reported their mother's depression. Following her divorce, Moore was linked to several new boyfriends. The most recent news is that her brief relationship with 30-year-old restaurateur Harry Morton has ended, and she is now dating Morton's father, 66-year-old Hard Rock Cafe owner.

Recent Years

Today, Demi Moore is rarely seen on the big screen. She only appears in projects that interest her personally. In 2018, she made a cameo appearance in the Indian crime drama 'Love, Sonia,' which aimed to raise awareness about human trafficking. Shortly after, she starred as the lead character, a powerful and selfish CEO of an edible tableware company, in the film 'Corporate Animals.' The movie, released in January 2019, portrayed the collapse of the company and its employees being trapped in an underground cave. Demi Moore does not always succeed in obtaining the desired roles. For example, she failed to pass the audition for the '101 Dalmatians' spin-off, currently in production at Disney. Despite this, she is known for her willingness to bare it all on-screen and openly discuss her plastic surgeries. Demi Moore proudly carries the unofficial titles of 'the most beautiful woman and the most unsuccessful actress,' and she ranks third in the number of nominations and awards for the 'Golden Raspberry Award.' She continues to collaborate with Ashton Kutcher in a charity foundation dedicated to protecting children from sexual exploitation.
