In the mid-1990s, Demi became the highest-paid actress in film history with a paycheck of $12.5 million for the movie “Striptease” (equivalent to around $20 million today). She continued to earn impressive salaries, including $11 million for “G.I. Jane” in 1997, $5 million for “Indecent Proposal,” $6 million for “Disclosure,” $7 million for “The Scarlet Letter,” and another $7 million for “The Juror.”

Demi Moore’s Early Life

Demi Gene Guynes, professionally known as Demi Moore, was born on November 11, 1962, in Roswell, New Mexico. Her mother married Dan Guynes when Moore was three months old, and she considers Guynes to be her father.

The family moved around frequently due to Guynes’s job changes, and they settled in West Hollywood, California, when Moore was 15. She attended Fairfax High School but dropped out her junior year and moved out at 16.

Moore then signed with the Elite Modeling Agency and began taking drama classes.

Moore’s Acting Career

Demi Moore’s acting debut came with a brief role in 1981 drama “Choices”, followed by science fiction horror film “Parasite” in 1982. She then joined the cast of ABC soap opera “General Hospital” until 1983, playing the role of an investigative reporter.

Her big commercial breakthrough that brought her wider recognition was her role in the drama “St. Elmo’s Fire” (1985), for which she is often associated with the group of actors known as the Brat Pack. She finished off the 1980s with the films “About Last Night…” (1986), “One Crazy Summer” (1986), “Wisdom” (1986), “The Seventh Sign” (1988) and “We’re No Angels” (1989), also making her profession stage debut in an off-Broadway production of “The Early Girl” at the Circle Repertory Company in 1986.

Moore reached a career highpoint with 1990’s “Ghost”, which grossed over $505 million and was the highest-grossing film that year. She maintained her A-list status with the blockbuster hits “A Few Good Men” (1992), “Indecent Proposal” (1993) and “Disclosure” (1994), although she also starred in the less widely seen films “Nothing but Trouble” (1991) and “The Butcher’s Wife” (1991).

In the late 1990s, Moore’s box-office began to wane. Despite becoming the highest-paid actress in film history for her $12.5 million salary to star in the 1996 film “Striptease”, many of her films from this period failed to impress.

Moore took a step back from acting, and appeared in relatively few projects in the early 2000s, as she focused on raising her daughters in Hailey, Idaho. She returned to acting after 2010, taking on more regular and frequent projects.

Other films Moore made appearances in during this period include “LOL” (2012), “Very Good Girls” (2013), “Forsaken” (2015) and “Wild Oats” (2016). She also worked as the director of a segment of the 2011 Lifetime anthology film “Five”, for which she received a Directors Guild of America Award nomination for Outstanding Directing – Miniseries or TV film.
