Demi Moore was named Demetria Guynes born on the 11th of November 1962, in
Roswell, New Mexico. By the time she was 18, Demi's family had experienced divorce, poverty, alcoholism, and suicide. Her
father left the family before she was born and her mother married Danny Guynes, a newspaper ad salesman.. Demi used her looks
to earn some money modelling in Europe (after dropping out of high school), and put her now trademark raspy voice to work
as a collection agent.
Demi
married rock star Freddy Moore, who was twelve years her senior. Her short-lived marriage did more than make Demi Mrs. Moore;
it is what led her to pursue an acting career.
Demi
earned her start as an actress on the soap opera General Hospital (which also later triggered the career of Vanessa Marcil
. After a few unsuccessful films, Demi left the soap in 1984 after appearing as Michael Caine's daughter in Blame It On Rio.
In 1994, Demi starred in Indecent Proposal, which garnered her, an MTV Movie Award for Best Onscreen Kiss. That same year,
she co-starred with Michael Douglas in Disclosure, where her physical assets were disclosed to audiences worldwide.
After
her role in Striptease, Demi disappeared from the spotlight, only to resurface with a role in G.I. Jane and a highly publicized
separation from her husband of 11 years, Bruce Willis. Demi is not only an actress and former model, she is also an avid doll
collector and hopes to someday open a doll museum; a businesswoman (she owns a stake of the waning Planet Hollywood with Sylvester
Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis); not to mention the mother of her three daughters with Bruce Willis -- Rumer
Glenn, Scout LaRue and Tallulah Belle.
Demi's
time in the spotlight is also due to her behaviour in the media. She appeared nude in the 80's for the magazine Oui and twice
on the cover of Vanity Fair; once while 7 months pregnant, and a second time covered in body paint.
Demi returns to the spotlight after a 3-year hiatus, this time in this summer's Passion of Mind.
