You can be popular, famous and even a star. Between one and the other they make up a large group, but only a few are part of the Olympus of fame. Like gods of old, they have an influence and popularity beyond the borders of their own profession. Demi Moore is one of them, one of those people who needs no introduction.

Demi Moore is part of the Olympus of fame, a select space whose inhabitants transcend beyond their careers. Becoming an Olympian god is equivalent to being in the upper echelon of fame. It doesn’t matter anymore if you are good or bad professionally, because worldwide popularity is guaranteed. Demi’s cinematographic influence transcends the three Razzies awards – the anti-Oscars – that she owns. She has never been recognized on a professional level with any of the most highly regarded awards, yet she has worked with many of the best. What is the key to reaching her privileged situation? If there was an answer, Olympus would no longer be a thing of the gods.

Demi Moore was born on November 11, 1962 in New Mexico. In those days her life was not exactly that of a goddess. Her father abandoned her before she was born, while her mother and stepfather spent the day drinking and arguing, a situation that ended with his suicide. Demi dropped out of high school at the age of 16 and became a pin-up girl. Those were years marked by alcohol and drugs. At the age of 18, she married rocker Freddie Moore, from whom she took her last name, since the full name of the actress is Demetria Gene Guynes. As her namesake Demetrius the Gladiator, the young Moore struggled to begin an acting career. She had against the lack of studies and her turbulent life. She debuted as a secondary in Choices(1981), although his big moment came a year later with the character of Jackie Templeton in the television series General Hospital . This role gave her a certain popularity at a national level and gave her the opportunity to work with directors such as Stanley Donen in Lío en rio (1984) -where she was the daughter of Michael Caine- , Joel Schumacher in El fuego de San Telmo (1985) or Edward Zwick in What Happened Last Night?(1986). None of these films has gone down to posterity due to their quality, but they were enough to pave the way for him in Hollywood. In addition, Schumacher’s presence in Demi’s life was decisive, as she forced him to start a detoxification treatment as a condition of working with him. That year, 1985, Demi divorced and ended her addiction. As part of the new life that she had started, Moore married fellow actor Bruce Willis in 1987., to whom she was united for 13 years. Today they are presented as an example of common sense and stability, since they offer a more than perfect image of a divorced couple, if that is possible. Far from throwing things over their heads, Demi and Bruce defend the need to create a stable environment for their daughters, who are their priority. “We are a family and always will be,” says the actress.

Moore faced his first leading role in the horror film The 7th Omen (1988). Although his great moment came with the romantic film Ghost (1990). Together with Patrick Swayze they fell in love with half the world and became part of the collective cinematographic memory. In 1991 she shared the bill with her husband in the thriller Deadly Thoughts , although her moment of fame did not come on the big screen. At the time Ella Moore was pregnant with her middle daughter, and in the seventh month she posed nude for Vanity Fair magazine. Some images that, needless to say, went around the world. Aware of her attractiveness, she decided to exploit her more sensual side in An Indecent Proposal (1993), Harassment(1994) and Striptease (1996), which turned her into an erotic myth. By then, Demi Moore was already part of Olympus. This is why the Striptease fiasco did not matter , since she was already in a privileged position compared to other mortals. Set to exploit the possibilities of her body, she defied convention and became a female Rambo in Ridley Scott ‘s Lt. O’Neil (1997).. The tape has a shocking sequence in which Demi shaves her head to zero in front of the camera, an image that represented the antithesis of the erotic myth that she was. This series of films revealed the cult of the body practiced by Demi. She now looks back and realizes that her interest in her physique bordered on her obsession, “I understood that she needed to stop and find a true answer. I accepted my failures; To believe that youth can be maintained is to pursue an illusion. Once that decision was made, she began to explore the spiritual side of her in Kabbalah, a movement to which she has belonged for four years thanks to her friend Madonna of hers.

Before getting started in the Kabbalah, Demi Moore took a professional break to be with her family. Woody Allen cast her in Taking Harry Down (1997), and she didn’t make a movie again until 2003 when she was the villain in Charlie’s Angels. To the limit Her return was motivated by her daughters, who encouraged her to reappear. Despite the fact that it was a hard period, since in 2000 she separated from Bruce Willis, the actress remembers it with great affection, although she acknowledges that she needed to return to acting. And it has been now that she has met one of the most interesting characters of her career, the great diva of the song with Bobby ‘s alcoholism problem (2006). In this film she has coincided with her current husband,Ashton Kutcher , whom she married in 2005 and whom she is 16 years older than. She has recently released A Brilliant Plan , where she has returned to work with Michael Caine, and Mr. Brooks , a thriller in which she has starred alongside Kevin Costner . Nothing is known about his future plans, although presumably they will not go unnoticed, because Zeus’ lightning strikes everything and everyone.
