Demi
Moore
Demi
Moore was born 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico. Her father
left her mother Victoria before Demi Moore was
born. Her stepfather Danny Guynes didn't add much stability to her
life either. He frequently changed jobs and made the family move
a total of 40 times. The parents kept on drinking, arguing and beating,
until Guynes finally committed suicide.
Demi Moore quit school at the age of 16 to work
as a pin-up-girl. At 18 she married rock musician Freddy Moore;
the marriage lasted four years. At 19 she became a regular on the
TV show "General Hospital" (1963). From the first salaries
she started celebrating parties and sniffing cocaine. That lasted
more than 3 years, until director Joel Schumacher fired her from
the set of St. Elmo's Fire (1985) when she turned up high. She got
a withdrawal treatment and returned clean after a week... and stayed
clean.
With determination
and a skill for publicity stunts, like the nude appearance on cover
of Vanity Fair while pregnant, she made her way to fame. Since the
huge commercial success of Ghost (1990) and the controversial pictures
Indecent Proposal (1993) and Disclosure (1994) she's one of Hollywood's
most sought-after and most expensive actresses.
