Demi Moore: Snapshot

Name
Demi Moore
Birth Date
11/11/1962
Birth Place
Roswell, N.M.
Demi Moore has parlayed her fame into a lasting, headline-grabbing career: two nude Vanity Fair covers, one marriage to Hollywood heavy hitter Bruce Willis, and another to 16-years-younger Ashton Kutcher.

Five years after emerging on the '80s scene as a member of Hollywood's Brat Pack, Moore starred in the career-making Ghost. Later came the controversial sexual-harassment film Disclosure, the saucy stripper tale Striptease and the commando drama G.I. Jane, for which she famously shaved her head.

But it was that 1991 Vanity Fair cover, showing a naked and very pregnant Moore, that planted her solidly in pop-cultural consciousness. Still, nothing got people talking more than her relationship with Kutcher and their walk on the Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle red carpet with Moore's three daughters and ex-husband Willis. The same group gathered together in 2005 for Moore and Kutcher's Kabbalah wedding.
