Demi Moore


An impatient teenage Demi wanted to follow her acting dreams so she dropped out of Fairfax High School before graduating. The acting work was slow-coming at first, so she had to resort to (gasp!) nude modeling. She didn’t have to wait long for her big break and was cast in General Hospital (Kelly Monaco). She left the modeling (but not the nudity) behind when she starred in Blame It On Rio (Michelle Johnson). This film is best remembered for the awe-inspiring amount of flesh bared by Moore and her costar Johnson.



Demi then hit it big with St. Elmo’s Fire (Ally Sheedy, Andie McDowell) where she played a coke-head. She starred opposite Patrick Swayze (and his hair) in the box office smash "Ghost". Her marriage to Bruce Willis only fueled the Demi-mania sweeping the country. She posed naked and pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair which made men feel equal parts horniness and shame. Perhaps her most well-known role was in Indecent Proposal where Robert Redford paid her and her husband a million dollars to sleep with her.



Aside from a small part in Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle (Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore), Demi took the late 90s to raise her kids out of the public eye. The spotlight returned in 2005 after she started dating the much younger Ashton Kutcher. Their marriage earned him the title “Luckiest Human Being Who Has Ever/Will Ever Live”.



Moore legally changed her last name to Kutcher two years after marrying husband Ashton Kutcher. However, she continues to use Moore in her professional life and her acting roles.



According to the New York Times, Moore is "the world's most high-profile doll collector", and among her favorites is the Gene Marshall fashion doll.
