Demi Moore
( real name : Demetria Guynes "Demetria" which
is the name of a 1960's cosmetics line) was born on the
11th of November 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico. Her biological
father Charles Harmon an Air Force serviceman left her mother
Victoria after a two-month marriage, before Demi was even
born. The family moved to Pennsylvania after her father
left. Her stepfather Danny Guynes didn't guarantee much
stability to her life either but was Demi's father as far
as she knew. He frequently changed jobs and made the family
move more than 30 times, had a drinking/gambling problems.
Demi
also has a halfbrother on her farthers side, James Craig
Harmon. She
spent much of her childhood in Eastern Pennsylvania growing
up. Her family moved to New Mexico years later running from
her fathers debts most likely. Until her adolescence Demi
did't know that Danny was not her real father. Her parents
used to drink and argue, until her father tragically committed
suicide by inhaling carbon monoxide from the exhaust of
his car.
Demi and familly then moved with her
mother to L.A. She dropped out of high school at the age
of 16 to work as a pin-up-girl/model at
the time. Demi's roommate was famed Natasha Kinski who had
just been cast in a Roman Polanski film. At 18 she stupidly
married the rock musician Freddy Moore (right); the marriage
lasts only four years. On her 18th birthday barely, she
poses nude in Oui Mens Magazine in a hot but less than bashful
photo spread in January 1980 issue and instantly gets a
role in straight to video film "Choices"
in 1981, then gets a small uncredited role in Young
Doctors in Love in 1982.
She got her big break in the movie "Blame
it on Rio" a
romantic comedy released the following year. Demi skillfully
acts in the film playing one of two under aged hottie daughters
on vacation in the clothing optional samba city of Rio De
Janaro, South America, starring Michael Caine and Valerie
Harper. In
1983
extra photoshoot pictures again appear in Oui Mens Magazine.
Her next break came playing the part
of Jackie Templeton on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital,
a role she played from 1982 to 1983. But being newly married
and having a steady acting job didn't guarantee stability
or success. Moore began living the rocker lifestyle and
began abusing drugs and alcohol: "I got involved with
drugs because I was young and not sure how to deal with
my sudden burst of fame." Working as a soap actress
wasn't a great acting reward but it did provide contacts
for the young Mrs. Moore.
Demi partys like a hollywood rockstar
for more than 3 years, until director Joel Schumacher fired
her from the set of "St.
Elmo's Fire" when she turned up high for a shoot.
In this film her character is a drug addicted youth who
learns some fast hard life lessons. She almost lost everything
but agrees to drug rehab treatment and returns after a week,
she stayed clean and sober apparenty through out the rest
of her career. This film also launches the careers of other
young actors such as Ally Sheedy, Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson.
Demi claims she found a new clarity in life and begins to
take charge of her career.
Demi was one of three finalists
for the lead in the movie "Flashdance" by 1983
but obviously lost the role to Jennifer Beals. On the set
of "St.
Elmo's Fire" Demi met Emilo Estevez with whom she
began a torrid romance that dipped in and out of engagement
for nearly three years. She quickly divorces her first husband
sometime after this torrid love affair begins. Estevez and his family are practically
hollywood royalty and surely he and his family opened a
few new doors for young sexy soap actress. "Estevez was
definitely my first love," she told Cosmopolitan later. Dismissing
her earlier marriage to Freddy Moore as something else entirely.
Estevez
was not to be the love of her life as it turned out. Bruce
Willis who is 7 years older (b 1955 Walter Bruce Willis
in Idar-Oberstein, West Germany), met Moore at a screening
of Estevez's 1987 film, "Stakeout" was apparently
Mr. Right. Bruce that year had starred in his first movie
"Blind Date" but was famous for the hit TV "Moonlighting"
at the time. Instantly dumping Emilo the couple sees each
other almost daily for just four months. They were married
in Vegas at the Golden Nugget by a fittingly flamboyant
minister "Little Richard" (singer) in 1987. Demi
Bought A 10,000 dollar wedding dress and Bruce wrote a song
for the wedding. From that over night love affair, the couple
had eventually forged an old-fashioned family with three
daughters, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah. The first girl Rumer
born in 1988 to husband Bruce Wilis who just completed work
on the film "Die Hard". The couple used 3 video
cameras to record the birth of their 1st child. Demi was
especially concerned whether they were all working at the
time. Three years later their second child Scout is born
in 1991. Finally the couples last daughter is born "Tallulah"
in 1994.
Demi's took her career to a new level
unquestionably in 1990 with the release of the movie "Ghost"
starring Demi, Patrick Swayze and Whoopie Goldberg. The
movie had great success and movie offers in 1991 poured
in from every studio. Including less than notable "The
Butchers Wife", the erotic thriller "Mortal
Thoughts" co-starring with husband Bruce Willis
and the bizzare comedy flick "Nothing
but Trouble" with all star cast including Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and
Chevy Chase. Later in A
Few Good Men in 1992 Demi works with hollywood most popular actors. She
proves she has acting ability and isn't afraid to use her
sexy seductive side and it pays big dividends for
her career. Basically at this point she becomes one of hollywoods bigest
sex symbols and A list actresses. Demi next appears playfully
pregnant and compledtely nude on the cover of the August 1991 issue of Vanity Fair. in which she
also media headlines, and then again in August
1992 issue, in which she posed nude in a painted mens suit. This almost begins to depict
what will be Demi's womens power struggle with a male dominated
hollywood persona.
In 1993 tabliods shocked everyone
when Demi's mother posed nude in High Society Magazine embarassing
Demi completely, clearly Demi and her mothers relationship
had fallen apart. As it turned out Demi had been paying her mother's bills
and at one point cut her off near this incident, they later
reconsiled upon hearing the tragic news of her mother's
terminal cancer. By
1998 her mother sadly loses her battle with cancer and passes
away of a rare inoperable brain cancer.
Demi
ever driven to remake her image practically has pornstar
sized breast enlargement surgery at 32 years old.
Demi's career reaches its zenith as she films "Indecent
Proposal" shocking but dazzling audiences with
the question how much money would it take to sleep with
someone's wife for the weekend ? Prices may vary consult
your local retailer. Audiences first seeing her lusty new
look in this edgy "what if" role starring Woody
Harrilson. The film "Disclosure"
in 1994 an erotic thriller starring Michael Douglas features
her in a first badgirl role. Demi portrays a high-flying
executive, Meredith, is out to ruin her former lover (Douglas),
who she's just beaten to the top job in an electronics company,
using every trick in the Karma Sutra book to ruin his career.
Even some scenes in the film seem designed to show her incredible
and perfect new breasts to delighted audiences. Demi's sort
of slutty new look forever shreds her brat pack innocent
girl image. She then films a string of less than great movies
in the years featuring wanton nudity and Demi esque drama
including : The
Scarlet Letter, Now
and Then and starring in the The
Juror.
These films pays off bigtime she is paid 16 million in these
films combined, but the films dont thrill box office owners
or fans alike.
That seeming bankability had helped
vault Moore to the top of the A-list of Hollywood actresses.
Also making her the first actress in history to break the 10 million
dollar mark. But later acting choices made mainly for cash
like 1996's
Skin to the Max movie "Striptease"
didn't make the 50 million it cost to produce. Demi gets
paid 12 million to portray an exotic dancer/hot stripper.
Demi researches her role by hanging out with strippers and
practicing erotic dance moves for her new pet project. The film has cashed
in the DVD afterlife eventually bringing back most of the
money spent to produce the film. Then comes Demi as "G.I.
Jane" (a picture many critics called publicity
for the Army). It underwhelmed critics and movie audiences alike.
However Demi and bruce become one of the richest couples in hollywood. She rakes in 23 million dollars
for these 2 roles alone. In 1996 Demi won her fiirst and
only award in a People's Choice Award for Favorite
Actress in a Movie Drama for the film "G.I.
Jane".
Alas
from the start, tabloids and the rumor mill predicted Demi
and Bruce's imminent rift. The couple proved the skeptics
wrong for nearly 11 years. First as Moore's star rose to
Willis's height, then as the hard-working couple spent more
and more time apart. Perhaps the break up came because Willis
had other things to concentrate on, like his still booming
career in for example "The
Fifth Element" and "Amageddon". The blazing
sex symbol Moore, on the other hand, had few projects lined
up. She also by now developed a bad reputation as an impossible
actress to work with and gains the nickname "Gimmie
Moore" for all the perks and cash she demands on film
projects. In the early '90s her big pictures, including
"Ghost" and "Indecent Proposal" had
indeed proved huge with the public, critics' disapproval
be damned. Meanwhile Demi's last few projects seemed to
slow her career down quite a bit. Although Deconstructing
Harry in 1997 was a
first working with famed actor/director/producer legend
Woody Allen. This role was little more than a cameo considering.
Demi throughout her career really never came close to winning
any remarkable acting awards.
In 1997 the couple wages a highly
publicized court battle with former nanny, Kim Tannahill,
who accused the pair especially Moore of being inattentive
to the children and abusive employers. After more than ten
years, the incessant nay saying proved right. The shockwave
felt the following year when Moore and Willis split in the
summer of 1998. A
few weeks after Demi's mother passed away Bruce had filed
for separation and divorce. Friends
called the parting amicable, though Liz Smith reported that
"Demi has taken the breakup much harder than Bruce."
They still remain freinds and Bruce even bought a house
in the small town of Hailey Idaho (population : 2000) near
Demi's elegant home.
Demi must have certianly reached a
turning point in her life after so much heartbreak after
1998 a devistating year. She buys a huge ranch type property
in Hailey Idaho (population : 2000) and moves the family
away from hollywood spotlight to the seclusion of Montana.
She remains there with the children for a sometime working
only on the little seen film Passion
of Mind in 2000. In
which a she stars in this psychological romantic thriller
where fantasy and reality become indistinguishable for a
woman leading a double life in her dreams. Later she
does mange somehow to produce all the immensely popular
"Austin
Powers"
Movies from 1999 thru 2002. Quietly turning 40 in 2002 she
still looks incredibly beautiful and sexy as she takes on
more soccer mom responsibilities.
In 2003 Demi makes a cameo comeback
and plays the sexy fallen super angel in the Sequel to Charlies
Angels dubbed "Full
Throttle". Opening
in the summer of 2003, the film did well at the box office
no small miracle considering it stars Drew Barrymore, Cameron
Diaz, Lucy
Liu and gueststars Demi Moore. However it didnt make
as much as the original "Angels" hottie movie.
Demi also turns up on the TV show "Will and Grace"
in Feb. 2003 playing Jacks now grown up babysitter from
the past.
As of April 2003 Demi's acting career
seems poised for some type of comeback when she shocks the
tabloids and begins dating Ashton Kutcher from TV's "That
70's Show". Ashton is 15 years younger than Demi
and a media buzz swarms the 90s actress. That would make
Ashton 4 years old when Demi posed nude for Oui Magazine.
At any rate he whole family turned out for the premier of
"Charlies Angels: Full Throttle" including Bruce
Willis (who has a cameo in the film), the kids, and Demi's
new man/boy Ashton. The Angels seemed pretty upset that
Demi stole the spotlight at the movie premier. Apparantly
the stars of the movie should have been first down the red
carpet, not Demi and company. Rumors had it that the angels
wouldn't sit or talk to Demi at the rest of the US and European
openings of the movie. Evidently the new and improved Moore
publicity train stops for no one, especially younger hotter
Angels. Demi becomes freinds with stunning actress Lucy
Liu during filming which seems like no surpise considering
their "dont fuck with me" you man bastard personalities
they seem to share.
Still, it would be foolhardy to ever
count Moore down or out. The steel-willed actress has always
seemed unfazed by the criticism and is always willing to
get naked ambitions. Demi likes to be in control of any
given situation and still has the dreaded "difficult
to work with" label in Hollywood. The tabloids have
recently blasted Demi relentlessly for all the cosmetic
surgury she has under gone over the years. Sources in 2003
claim the actress, who reportedly spent over 250,000 on
a total body transformation three years ago, is keen to
undergo a proceedure to lift her sagging knees of all things
because she wants her sexy body to be flawless. Indeed she
still has an amazing figure and she certianly must have
alot to offer to keep a 20 something boyfreind in her bedroom.
Demi recently exchanged her large
breast implants for smaller ones for some unknown reason,
probably gravity. Even more surpising rumors abound that
Demi is pregnant with Ashton's baby and was recently spotted
purchasing a baby crib at a celebrity charity auction. Demi
and Ashton deny that the 43 year old is pregnant, but if
she is she'd be about 6 months along and won't be able to
hide it for much longer. The couple is still together after
2 years and marriage seemed impossible until now. Ashton
is very much in love with the former power actress and in
recent interviews seems to genuinely want to marry her.
More than likely Demi fears the 15 year age differance between
the couple may be a factor someday.
In the summer of 2005, it was rumoured
Demi, 42, and Ashton, 27, were planning a secret Las Vegas
wedding. Ashton and mother-of-three Demi reportedly commissioned
matching wedding rings from celebrity jeweller Neil Lane
and were planning to hold the ceremony at the city's famous
Bellagio hotel. Demi is recently quoted saying she wants
to expand her family and appears to be planning her 3rd
marriage. Then on saturday September 23, 2005
the couple is married in a Kabala style wedding at a home
in Beverly Hills, California. According to the media, they
tied the knot in front of about 100 guests, friends and
relatives including Moore's second husband Bruce Willis,
Wilmer Valderrama, Lucy
Liu, and Moore's three daughters. Her three daughters,
Rumer, 17, Scout, 14, and Tallulah, 11, reportedly call
Kutcher "MOD," standing for "My Other Dad."
A website claiming to have obtained Ashton's private voice-mails,
offers recordings allegedly pulled off Kutcher's cell phone,
including one young lady (who isn't Demi Moore) graphically
recounting a sex act she claimed to have performed with
him the night before. Someone just got punk'd, but you can
decide if it's Demi Moore or Ashton Kutcher.
Apparenty the couple had been planning
a wedding all along and wanted to stay low on the media
radar. Demi will turn 43 next month and the sexy actress
marrys a man candy boyfriend 15 years her junior. Way to
go Demi dosen't everyone wanna marry someone in their 20s
when reaching their 40s. The hollywood jinx is on and the
statisically the couple should be divorced within 3 years
roughly in early 2008. The 5 year hollywood barrier is almost
impossible to breach. Although Demi was married to Bruce
Willis for almost 11 years.
