Demi Moore, born Demetria Gene Harmon in 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico, rose to fame in the 1980s as a member of the Brat Pack with roles in films like St. Elmo's Fire and Ghost (1990), which catapulted her to become the world's highest-paid actress by 1995—earning a then-unprecedented $12.5 million for Striptease. After a career slump in the late 1990s, she experienced a stunning resurgence with the 2024 body horror film The Substance, winning a Golden Globe and earning her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. Her highly publicized personal life includes three marriages—to musician Freddy Moore, Bruce Willis (with whom she has three daughters), and Ashton Kutcher—as well as her 2019 memoir Inside Out, which became a New York Times bestseller. In 2025, Moore was named to Time's 100 most influential people list, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and was crowned People magazine's most beautiful woman in the world. Despite a turbulent early life marked by her stepfather's suicide and a strained relationship with her mother, Moore has cemented her legacy as one of Hollywood's most enduring and celebrated actresses.
