Demi Moore
born:
11-11-1962
birth place:
Roswell, New Mexico, USA
Her mother's recovery efforts failed. In 1990 Moore footed the bill for an eight month stay in rehab, but the relationship ended when Guynes sold the story of their troubles to the media. Over the following years Guynes humiliated her daughter twice with pictorials in adult magazines. This included her 1993 12-page spread in the porn magazine High Society (after being turned down by Playboy). She posed in front of a potter's wheel parodying Moore's sex scene with Patrick Swayze in Ghost. In 1998 Guynes died from a brain tumour in New Mexico at the age of fifty-four.
In addition to being a successful actress Moore was also the producer of the hugely successful Austin Powers movies starring
Mike Myers. For an actress leaning towards dramatic roles, the switch to comedy was considered a brave and inspired move.
Now in her mid 40s, Moore remains one of Hollywood’s most alluring, recognisable and admired female stars. Her current industry standing allows her to pick and choose roles that include co-stars associated with Hollywood’s A-list. Her longevity as a hugely successful female lead actor has only ever been matched by a handful of her peers.
