Demi Moore: From Troubled Childhood to Stardom

Demi Moore, born Demi Gene Guynes on November 11, 1962, overcame a difficult childhood marked by her mother’s alcoholism and being traded for a few hundred dollars.

After discovering the truth about her birth father at 13, she moved in with her grandmother.

She left high school to pursue modeling and acting, breaking through with “St. Elmo’s Fire” in 1985 and “Ghost” in 1990. By 1995, she was Hollywood’s highest-paid actress for “Striptease.”

Demi married Bruce Willis in 1987, and they had three daughters before divorcing in 2000. She later married Ashton Kutcher in 2005, divorcing in 2013. Her 2019 memoir “Inside Out” detailed her challenging past. Today, she maintains close relationships with her children and supports her ex-husband Bruce Willis through his health challenges.
