Demi Moore
Award-Winning Actor, Director, Producer, Model & Author; Known for "Ghost," "St. Elmo's Fire" & "The Substance"
Demi Moore is an accomplished actress and producer whose career has spanned decades in Hollywood. Raised amidst financial struggles and family instability, Moore left high school at 16 and relocated to Los Angeles, where she began modeling and later studied acting. Her early roles in television, which included a recurring part on the ABC soap opera "General Hospital" playing investigative reporter Jackie Templeton through 1983, paved the way for her movie career.
Moore gained prominence in the 1980s as a member of the "Brat Pack," a group of young actors featured in popular films such as "St. Elmo's Fire." Her performance in "About Last Night..." solidified her status as a rising star. Her most successful film to date is "Ghost," which grossed over $505 million and was the highest-grossing film of that year. Her performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination and the Saturn Award for Best Actress, making it one of the most iconic roles in her career.
In the mid-1990s, Moore became one of Hollywood's highest-paid actresses, with a record-breaking salary of $12.5 million for her 1996 role in "Striptease." Besides her acting, Moore ventured into directing, as seen in her directing a segment of "Five" in 2011. She continued to act in a range of roles, including her recurring role as a take-charge nurse with a mysterious past in "Empire" and her performance in the body horror film "The Substance," which earned her a Golden Globe nomination.
Off-screen, Moore has been recognized for her writing as well. Her memoir "Inside Out" became a New York Times Best Seller in 2019 and revealed her personal struggles with addiction and her journey through life. Moore has also been an active participant in philanthropy, focusing on combating human trafficking through her foundation, THORN. In 2018, Moore was honored for her work against human trafficking with the inaugural Visionary Woman Award by Visionary Women. In 2022, THORN was able to identify 824,466 child sexual abuse material files and helped identify 1,895 victims of child sexual abuse. With her resilience, artistry, and commitment to meaningful causes, Demi Moore has been a significant figure in the entertainment industry and beyond.
