Demi Gene Moore (/dəˈmiː/ də-MEE; née Guynes;
born November 11, 1962) is an American actress. After making her film
debut in 1981, Moore appeared on the soap opera General Hospital (1982–1984) and subsequently gained
recognition as a member of the Brat Pack with roles in Blame It on Rio (1984), St. Elmo's Fire (1985),
and About Last Night... (1986). She had her breakthrough for her starring role
in Ghost (1990),
the highest-grossing film of that year.
Her performance was praised and earned her a Golden Globe nomination. She had further box-office
success in the early 1990s, with the films A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994).
In 1996, Moore became the highest-paid actress in film history when she
received an unprecedented $12.5 million to star in Striptease. She had starring roles in the films The Scarlet Letter (1995), The Juror (1996) and G.I. Jane (1997), all of which were commercially
unsuccessful and contributed to a downturn in her career. Her career has since
had a resurgence with supporting roles in such films as The
Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), The Hunchback of Notre
Dame II (2002), Charlie's Angels: Full
Throttle (2003), Bobby (2006), Mr. Brooks (2007), Margin Call (2011), and Rough Night (2017). In 2019, she released a memoir
titled Inside Out, which
became a New York
Times Best Seller. Moore has been married three times, to the
musician Freddy Moore and the
actors Bruce Willis and Ashton Kutcher. She has three children with Willis.
