Place of birth: Roswell, New Mexico, USA

Real Name: Demetria Gene Guynes

Demi Moore was born 1962 in Roswell, New Mexico. Her father left her mother, Victoria, before Demi was born.

Demi Moore's stepfather, Danny Guynes, didn't add much stability to her life, either. He frequently changed jobs and made the family move a total of 40 times. The parents kept on drinking, arguing and beating, until Guynes finally committed suicide.

Demi Moore quit school at the age of 16 to work as a pin-up-girl. At 18, she married rock musician Freddie Moore; the marriage lasted four years.

At 19, Demi Moore became a regular on the TV show "General Hospital" (1963). From the first salaries, she started partying and sniffing cocaine. That lasted more than 3 years, until director Joel Schumacher fired her from the set of St. Elmo's Fire (1985) when she turned up high. She got a withdrawal treatment and returned clean after a week... and stayed clean. With determination and a skill for publicity stunts, like the nude appearance on the cover of Vanity Fair while pregnant, she made her way to fame. Since the huge commercial success of Ghost (1990) and the controversial pictures Indecent Proposal (1993) and Disclosure (1994), she's one of Hollywood's most sought-after and most expensive actresses.

2006 Demi Moore and her husband Ashton Kusher have made a vow to stay together - after treating each other to guns. The actor reveals he and Moore purchased shooters just after they got married a year ago (05) and now he's convinced neither one of them with stray. He says, "We got guns and that helps... She was working on a movie in Louisiana and so we went out and both got (guns).
