Demi Moore (Demetria Guynes) was born on the 11th of November 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico.

Her biological-father left her mother already before Demi was born. Her stepfather and mother kept on drinking, arguing and beating, until he finally committed suicide.

A friend persuaded Moore to drop out of high school at age 16 to become an actress. Her big break came playing the part of Jackie Templeton on the ABC soap opera, General Hospital, a role she played from 1982 to '83.

In 1996 she became the highest paid actress in the world, with the signing of Striptease, with a $ 12 million salary

At 18 she married the rock musician Freddy Moore; the marriage lasted four years. 1982 she became a regular on the TV show General Hospital. But being newly married and having a steady acting job didn't guarantee stability. Moore began abusing drugs: "I got involved with drugs because I was young and not sure how to deal with my sudden burst of fame."

But Estevez was not the love of her life. That was Bruce Willis, who Moore met at a screening of Estevez's 1987 film, Stakeout. After seeing each other almost daily for just four months, they were married in Vegas.

She appeared nude on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine in 1991 while seven-months pregnant, with enormous attendant publicity. At the height of her popularity she was spoofed with a cartoon version of herself in the popular video game series Leisure Suit Larry.

She has three daughters with 'Bruce Willis': Rumer Glenn (born 1988), Scout Larue (1991) and Tallulah Belle (1994)
