Born

Demi Gene Guynes November 11, 1962 Roswell, New Mexico, U.S.

Demi Guynes Kutcher( /ədˈmiː/də-mee; born November 11, 1962 asDemi Gene Guynes), known professionally asDemi Moore, is an American actress. After minor roles in film and a role in the soap opera General Hospital, Moore established her career in films such asSt. Elmo's Fire(1985), and in the early 1990s, became one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood with her successes inGhost(1990),A Few Good Men(1992), Indecent Proposal(1993), andDisclosure(1994).

Early life [1] Moore was born Demi Gene Guynes in Roswell, New Mexico. As a child, she had a difficult and unstable home life. Her biological father, Charles Harmon, left her mother, Virginia King (November 27, 1943–July 2, 1998), after a two-month marriage, before Moore was born. As a result, Moore had the surname of her stepfather, Danny Guynes (March 9, 1943–October 1980 by suicide), on her birth certificate. Danny Guynes frequently changed jobs; as a result, the family moved a total of forty times. Moore has two younger half-brothers: James Craig Harmon (paternal) and Morgan Guynes (maternal, born 1967). Her parents were alcoholics who often fought and beat each other. Moore was cross-eyed as a child and wore an eye patch in an attempt to correct the problem until it was

Moore took her professional name from her first husband, musician Freddy Moore, and is the mother of three daughters from her second marriage to actor Bruce Willis. She married her third husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, in 2005, and separated from him in 2011.

[2] ultimately corrected by two surgeries. She also suffered from kidney dysfunction. Moore's family settled in Los Angeles in 1976. She attended Fairfax High School in Hollywood, where her schoolmates included Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, bassist Michael Balzary (aka Flea) and actor Timothy Hutton. When Moore was 16, her friend Nastassja Kinski persuaded her to drop out of school to become an [2] actress.

Career

Moore at the Academy Awards in 1989

After training with John Casablancas, the founder of Elite Model Management, Moore made her film debut in the 1982 3-D science fiction/horror film,Parasite, [3] which was a hit on the drive-in circuit, ultimately grossing $7 million. However, Moore was not widely known until she played the part of Jackie Templeton on the ABC soap opera,General Hospital, from 1982 to 1983.

In the mid-1980s, Moore appeared in the youth-oriented filmsSt. Elmo's Fire, Blame It on RioandAbout Last Night..., and she was often listed as one of the Brat Pack, a name the media dubbed a certain group of top young actors at the time. In 1988, she starred inThe Seventh Signdirected by Carl Schultz. After the commercial success ofGhost, Moore was given more prominent roles inA Few Good Men,Indecent Proposal,Disclosure, andThe Hunchback of Notre Dame for which she was the first actress to reach the $10 million salary mark.

During the early 1990s, she was the highest paid actress in Hollywood. She never surpassed the success ofGhost, and had a string of less successful films likeNothing but Trouble,The Scarlet Letter,The Juror,Striptease, andG.I. Jane. Moore'sPassion of Mindco-star Joss Ackland lambasted her by describing her as being "not very bright or [4] talented", although he worked with her again onFlawlessin 2008. At the same time, she produced and starred in a TV mini-series called If These Walls Could Talk, written by Nancy Savoca. A three-part series on abortion, Savoca directed two segments, including the one in which Moore played a single woman in the 1950s seeking a back-alley abortion. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress for that role.

Moore was a founding "celebrity investor" in the Planet Hollywood chain of international theme restaurants (modeled after the Hard Rock Cafe and launched in New York on October 22, 1991) along with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and then-husband Bruce Willis.

Demi Moore

After a break from her acting career, Moore returned to the screen as the villain of the 2003 filmCharlie's Angels: Full Throttle. In 2006, she appeared inBobbywhich featured an all-star cast, including her husband Ashton Kutcher, although they did not appear in any scenes together. She later starred in the thriller filmMr. Brooks, which was [5] released on June 1, 2007. She appeared in Jon Bon Jovi's longform video "Destination Anywhere" as Janie. [6] In 2006, Moore became the new face for the Helena Rubinstein brand of cosmetics.

Vanity Faircontroversy

In August 1991, Moore appeared nude on the cover ofVanity Fairunder the title More Demi Moore. Annie Leibovitz shot the picture while Moore was seven months pregnant with her daughter Scout LaRue, intending to portray [7] "anti-Hollywood, anti-glitz" attitude. The cover sparked an intense controversy forVanity Fairand Moore. It was widely discussed on television, radio, and in [8] newspaper articles. The frankness of Leibovitz's portrayal of a pregnant sex symbol led to divided opinions, ranging from complaints of sexual [9] objectification to celebrations of the photograph as a symbol of empowerment.

The photograph was subject to numerous parodies, including theSpymagazine version, which placed Moore's then husband Bruce Willis' head on her body. In Leibovitz v. Paramount Pictures Corp., Leibovitz sued over one parody featuring Leslie Nielsen, made to promote the 1994 filmNaked Gun 33⅓: The Final August 1991Vanity FairMore Demi Insult. In the parody, the model's body was attached to what is described as "the Moorecover [10] guilty and smirking face" of Nielsen. The teaser said "Due this March". The [10] case was dismissed in 1996 because the parody relied "for its comic effect on the contrast between the original". In November 2009, the Moroccan magazineFemmes du Marocemulated the infamous pose with Moroccan news [11] reporter Nadia Larguet, causing controversy in the majority Muslim nation. In August 1992, Moore would again appear nude on the cover ofVanity Fair, modeling for the world's leading body painting artist, Joanne Gair inDemi's [12] [13] Birthday Suit. The painting is widely considered to be the best-known example of modern body painting [14] artwork.

Personal life

Marriages and children

In 1980, at the age of 18, she married singer Freddy Moore, adopting [15] [16] his surname. The marriage ended in 1984.

In 1987, Moore met and married her second husband, actor Bruce [17] Willis. They had three daughters together: Rumer Glenn Willis (born August 16, 1988), Scout LaRue Willis (born July 20, 1991), and [17] Tallulah Belle Willis (born February 3, 1994). Moore and Willis [17] divorced in 2000.

After two years of dating, Moore wed actor Ashton Kutcher on Moore and Kutcher in September 2008 [16] September 24, 2005. On November 17, 2011, Moore released a [18] statement announcing her intention to divorce Kutcher. The announcement followed weeks of media speculation [19] about the state of the couple's marriage due to his alleged cheating.

Moore's primary residence is in Hailey, Idaho, near the Sun Valley resort, although she spent much time in the Los Angeles area during her marriage to Kutcher. She also owns a waterfront mansion on Sebago Lake, Maine. She is a practicing follower of Philip Berg's Kabbalah Centre religion, and initiated Kutcher into the faith, having said that she "didn't grow up Jewish, but ... would say that [she has] been more exposed to the deeper meanings of [20] particular rituals than any of [her] friends that did". Contrary to popular belief, Moore claims she has never been a raw foodist and dispelled the vegan rumors by eating a hamburger in a recent [21] Mario Testino photo shoot.
