Demi Gene Moore [ n 1] ( də-MEE ;[ 12] née Guynes ; born November 11, 1962)[ 13] is an American actress. After rising to prominence in the early 1980s, Moore became the world's highest-paid actress in 1995.[ 14] Her accolades include a Golden Globe Award and nominations for an Academy Award , a British Academy Film Award and a Primetime Emmy Award .[ 15] [ 16]
Moore began her career as a model and joined the cast of the soap opera General Hospital in 1981.[ 17] After departing the show in 1983, she rose to prominence as a member of the Brat Pack , with roles in the films Blame It on Rio (1984), St. Elmo's Fire (1985), and About Last Night... (1986). She emerged a star with her portrayal of a grieving artist in the romance film Ghost (1990), had further box office success in A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994), and received a then-unprecedented $12.5 million to star in Striptease (1996).
Moore's output decreased significantly after The Scarlet Letter (1995), The Juror (1996), and G.I. Jane (1997) fell below commercial expectations.[ 18] [ 19] She has since held sporadic leading roles in arthouse films; supporting roles in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), Bobby (2006), Mr. Brooks (2007), and Margin Call (2011); as well as television credits in If These Walls Could Talk (1996), Empire (2017–2018), and Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (2024). She received renewed critical recognition for her performance as an aging celebrity in the body horror film The Substance (2024), which gained her a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress .
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]
