Demi Gene Moore [n 1] ( də-MEE ;[12] née Guynes ; born November 11, 1962)[13] is an American actress. She first gained attention on daytime television before breaking out as a film star in the 1980s. By the mid-1990s, she was the highest-paid actress at the time.[14] She has earned several accolades , including nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award and two Golden Globes .
Moore began acting in 1981, and appeared on the soap opera General Hospital (1982–1984).[15] After departing the show, she rose to prominence as a member of the Brat Pack , starring in the films Blame It on Rio (1984), St. Elmo's Fire (1985), and About Last Night... (1986).[16] She earned recognition and stardom for her role in Ghost , which was the highest-grossing film of 1990 . She had further box-office successes with A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994), and received $12.5 million to star in Striptease (1996), becoming the highest-paid actress to that point. Moore was considered to be one of the most bankable stars of the 1990s.
Moore's career saw a downturn after the films The Scarlet Letter (1995), The Juror (1996), and G.I. Jane (1997) fell below commercial expectations.[17] [18] Since then, she has played roles in Passion of Mind (2000), Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), Bobby (2006), Mr. Brooks (2007), Flawless (2008), Margin Call (2011), and Blind (2017).[19] Her television projects include If These Walls Could Talk (1996), Empire (2015–2017), Brave New World (2020), and Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (2024).
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.[20] She was married to Ashton Kutcher from 2005 to 2013. Her memoir Inside Out (2019) became a New York Times Best Seller .[21] [22] [23]
