Demi Moore
Biography of Demi Moore
Demi Moore (Demetria Gene Guynes) was born on November 11, 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico. She is an American actress.
Demi Moore was born in Roswell, New Mexico. She comes from a broken family background. Before her birth, her biological father, Charles Harmon, left her mother, Virginia after a two-month marriage. When Demi Moore was three months old, her mother married Dan Guynes, a newspaper salesman. Due to his frequently changing jobs, the family moved frequently. Moore saw Guynes as her real father.
She grew up mostly in eastern Pennsylvania. In October 1980, Dan Guynes committed suicide at the age of 37, two years after divorcing her mother. Her mother, Virginia Guynes, was arrested many times, including for arson and drunk driving. Moore broke off contact with her in 1990 but later reconciled with her shortly before Virginia Guynes died of cancer in July 1998 at the age of 54.
Moore has one maternal half-brother and two paternal half-brothers: Charles Harmon Jr. and James Craig Harmon (b. 1974). The latter was sentenced to ten years in prison in 2006 for aggravated assault. Moore also has a paternal half-sister named Charlotte Harmon Eggar, who testified in 2012 that she had not seen Moore in 30 years.
Demi Moore had squints throughout her childhood, which was eventually corrected with two surgeries. She also suffered from kidney dysfunction. At age 15, Moore moved to West Hollywood, California, where her mother worked for a magazine distribution company. She attended Fairfax High School and said of it, "I moved out of my family home when I was 16 and dropped out of high school my freshman year." She worked at a collection agency and had a job as a pin-up girl in Europe.
Demi Moore first played guest roles in various television series, including from 1981 in General Hospital and Tales from the Crypt. She celebrated her first cinema success in 1983 in Blame it on Rio. As a member of the Brat Pack, she starred in St. Elmo's Fire in 1985.
The actress received a Golden Globe nomination for her role in Ghost. She was one of the most sought-after actresses during this time and was the first woman to receive a $10 million fee for a film. She was not able to repeat her initial successes alongside Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Robert Redford or Michael Douglas with subsequent projects such as Striptease.
In addition to various roles in the cinema, she also acts in the theater and works as a film producer in her company "Moving Pictures". She made a comeback in 2003 with her appearance in Charlie's Angels - Full Throttle.
In August 1979, three months before her 17th birthday, she met musician Freddy Moore, who was married to another woman at the time. In February 1980, six months after they first met, the couple married and moved into an apartment in West Hollywood. In September 1984, she filed for divorce, which became final on August 7, 1985. She still receives royalties from some of the songs she helped write back then.
After her divorce, she was in a relationship with actor Emilio Estevez. The couple intended to marry in December 1986, but broke off the engagement shortly thereafter.
On November 21, 1987, she married actor Bruce Willis. The couple have three daughters together: Rumer Glenn (born August 16, 1988), Scout LaRue (born July 20, 1991 ) and Tallulah Belle (b. February 3, 1994). Moore and Willis separated on June 24, 1998, but they only filed for divorce on October 18, 2000, and it became final the day after.
From 1999 to 2002, Moore was in a relationship with martial arts teacher Oliver Whitcomb.
In 2003, she began dating Ashton Kutcher, who is 16 years her junior. They married on September 24, 2005. The couple lived with Moore's daughters in Hailey, Idaho. The wedding took place with 150 guests in the immediate family circle, including Bruce Willis. In mid-November 2011, Moore announced the split; Reports of Kutcher's fling had preceded it.
In January 2012, it was revealed that Demi Moore was struggling with addiction issues. She was hospitalized with a seizure for emergency treatment and then later treated in rehab. Among other things, she was addicted to the prescription drug Adderall, an amphetamine preparation.
