Demi Gene Moore is an American actress. She first gained attention on daytime television before breaking out as a film star in the mid-1980s. By the mid-1990s, she was the world's highest-paid actress. Though her career saw a downturn by the end of the decade, she remains a subject of substantial media interest. Moore's accolades include nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award and two Golden Globes. A former model, Moore made her film debut in 1981 and joined the cast of the soap opera General Hospital later that year. After departing the show in 1983, she rose to prominence as a member of the Brat Pack with roles in Blame It on Rio (1984), St. Elmo's Fire (1985), and About Last Night... (1986). While the lattermost made Moore a star, she established herself as a bankable performer with Ghost, the highest-grossing film of 1990. She had further box-office successes with A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994), and received an 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. She has since held sporadic leading roles in the arthouse films Passion of Mind (2000), Flawless (2008), Blind (2017), and The Substance (2024), as well as supporting roles in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), Bobby (2006), Mr. Brooks (2007), and Margin Call (2011). Moore's primetime television work includes the made-for-cable anthology If These Walls Could Talk (1996), a guest arc on Empire (2015–2017), the streaming program Brave New World (2020), and the miniseries Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (2024). 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. She was married to Ashton Kutcher from 2005 to 2013. Her memoir Inside Out (2019) became a New York Times Best Seller.
