Demi Moore Biography

Demi Moore

Demi Moore (born Demetria Guynes on November 11, 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico) is an American actress with a trademark husky voice. Demi Moore is of mixed ancestry including French, Welsh, and Cherokee (Native American) heritage.

Although Moore was born in New Mexico, Demi Moore spent much of Demi Moore's childhood and teenage years in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. As a child, Moore had a difficult and unstable home life. Demi Moore's father Charles Harmon, an unemployed gambling addict, left Demi Moore's mother, Victoria, before Demi Moore was born. Because of this, Moore did not share his last name on Demi Moore's birth certificate. Demi Moore's stepfather, Danny Guynes, did not add much stability to Demi Moore's life, either. Demi Moore frequently changed jobs and made the family move a total of 40 times. Demi Moore's parents also drank, and often fought and beat each other. To make matters worse, operations on Demi Moore's left eye during childhood caused Demi Moore's to wear a patch.

When Demi Moore was 16, Moore's then-friend, Nastassja Kinski, persuaded Demi Moore's to drop out of Hollywood's Fairfax High School to become an actress. After quitting school, Moore went to work as a pin-up girl, modelled in Europe, and worked at a collection agency.

In 1980 Moore's step-father Danny committed suicide. That same year Demi Moore married rock musician Freddy Moore, whose last name Demi Moore adopted; the marriage lasted only 4 years.

In the early 1980s Demi Moore posed for a series of soft-core photographs featuring full frontal nudity. These photos went unnoticed until after Demi Moore became a star, eventually being published in a German magazine and then later in North America. They are widely available now on the internet.

Moore's big break came playing the part of Jackie Templeton on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital, a role Demi Moore played from 1982 to 1983. Demi Moore's character was frequently romantically paired with actors twice Demi Moore's age.

Moore used Demi Moore's General Hospital salaries for partying and snorting cocaine. Demi Moore's drug abuse lasted more than three years, until 1985, when director Joel Schumacher fired Demi Moore's from the set of St. Elmo's Fire when Demi Moore arrived on the set intoxicated. Demi Moore soon received withdrawal treatment and returned clean after a week and stayed clean. (Incidentally, Moore's character in St. Elmo's Fire, Jules, was also a cocaine addict.) Moore had to sign a contract stipulating that Demi Moore would stop Demi Moore's own alcohol and drug abuse, an agreement that caused Demi Moore's life to turn around. In the 1980s, Demi Moore appeared in several youth oriented films, and was listed among the "Brat Pack." Demi Moore was engaged to fellow Brat-Packer Emilio Estevez for three years.

In November, 1987, Moore married actor Bruce Willis, after a highly publicized whirlwind romance. They had three daughters together, Rumer Glenn, Scout LaRue, and Tallulah Belle, but divorced in 1998.

Vanity Fair (September, 1991)In August, 1991, Moore again appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine while seven-months pregnant with Demi Moore's daughter Scout LaRue, with enormous attendant publicity. The image was endlessly parodied (including by Spy magazine, which placed Demi Moore's then-husband Bruce Willis's head on Demi Moore's 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".

For a time during the 1990s, Moore was the highest paid actress in Hollywood; Demi Moore was the first actress to reach the USD$10 million mark for salary. Moore was coming off of the heels of a string of box office hits such as Ghost, A Few Good Men, and Indecent Proposal. Not all of the attention Demi Moore received during this period was positive, however; for example Demi Moore was spoofed with a cartoon version (called "Dewmi Moore") in the popular video game Leisure Suit Larry, and had numerous other parodies played on Demi Moore's name and likeness. Moore's career suffered though when starring vehicles like The Scarlet Letter, The Juror, Striptease, and G.I. Jane (a movie in which Moore went as far as shaving Demi Moore's head) failed at the box office and mostly garnered poor reviews.

After a break from Demi Moore's acting career, Moore returned to the screen as a former member of Charlie's Angels in the film Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle. As the film was about to be released, media attention focused on how the 40 year old mother of three repeatedly had plastic surgery to remove fat on Demi Moore's hips, abdomen and buttocks, as well as breast enlargement.

In addition, Moore became the subject of much tabloid fodder thanks to Demi Moore's romantic relationship with actor Ashton Kutcher, who is 15 years Moore's junior. Both would eventually spoof the public's fascination with their age difference during the monologue on the March 19, 2005 episode of Saturday Night Live. Kutcher, who served as guest host, brought Moore on stage while Moore was made up to appear like a very elderly woman, who constantly babied Kutcher. Moore and Kutcher were married on Saturday, September 24, 2005 in a lavish private ceremony attended by about 100 close friends and family.

Demi Moore's primary residence is currently in Hailey, Idaho, near the famous Sun Valley resort, although Demi Moore spends a lot of time in the L.A. area with Kutcher.

Trivia

According to an article in the now defunct Buzz magazine, Demi Moore was so demanding when it came to perks and fringe benefits, Demi Moore's nickname around Hollywood studio executives was "Gimme Moore."
Demi Moore's birthplace of Roswell, New Mexico is near the alleged 1947 UFO crash site.
It is rumored that Demi Moore will appear nude again on the cover of a major magazine in early 2006.

Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability. And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements. by Zweig, Stefan
