Back in the ’80s, few stars were on the rise like Demi Moore.
However, despite the successes of her early career, Moore soon began to fade from the spotlight.
After the relative failures of films like “Striptease” in 1996 and “G.I.
Jane” in 1997, Moore’s roles grew fewer and further between.
Then, in 2000, her high profile marriage to Bruce Willis came to an end.
The couple had previously moved to Idaho after her divorce, Moore continued her rural life there.
Although she continued producing films and TV projects, her Hollywood days seemed to be over forever.
So, what happened to Moore?
Although her acting career has certainly slowed down, she’s been pretty busy.
The couple made the move so that they could offer their children a more normal life.
“And I’m trying to keep that away from my kids as much as I can.”
Even though this meant giving up acting work, she didn’t mind.
As she put it, “It was just that my children were important to me.
It wasn’t about: Am I giving up work?
It was about: My children are important to me.”
Their split was an amicable one.
But I didn’t, and neither did he" (viaPeople).
This meant giving them even more attention.
She added, “Her self-esteem was nothing.
I could only just keep loving her and loving her until she could love herself” (viaHuffPost).
This began in 1996, when Moore starred in “Striptease.”
As a result, she was dubbed “box office poison” (viaFar Out Magazine).
“We don’t know what to do … People just don’t want to see her.
It’s no wonder producers were less keen to cast Moore in the late ’90s.
Jane was seriously underrated
Unsurprisingly, when “G.I.
Plus, by all accounts, her performance is actually seriously impressive.
“It’s the performance of her career,” said “G.I.
Jane” screenwriter David Twohy toYahoo Entertainmentyears later.
And she had that commitment I think she f***ing nailed it.”
Unfortunately, audiences weren’t ready to head back to the cinema to see Moore after “Striptease.”
“She should have been nominated for ‘G.I.
“That, to the little girl in me that was crushing.”
After two successive flops, Moore didn’t exactly feel sorry to take a break from Hollywood.
This was another reason why Moore decided to take a pause in her career.
The family were with Guynes at her home in New Mexico when she died.
“I love kids so much.
I was very close to Demi’s first daughter, Rumer.
Her mother was an alcoholic who was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Demi Moore aged out of Hollywood roles
Hollywood is famous for its ageism against women.
A lot of them don’t have much substance, other than being someone’s mother or wife.”
Moore later reflected on this industry ageism once again.
“I was like, ‘Oh, well is that supposed to flatter me?'”
At first, the relationship gave Moore a new lease on life.
I just felt like a 15-year-old girl hoping somebody liked me.”
However, Kutcher allegedly encouraged Moore to drink even though she was sober.
Moore also claimed that he cheated on her.
Another rift came about when Moore miscarried a child during the marriage.
Thepair parted waysin 2011.
Demi Moore had a near-death seizure in 2012
Demi Moore has struggled with addiction throughout her life.
In the ’80s, she also did what she described as “a lot of cocaine.”
Moore went to rehab and has been sober ever since however, in 2012, Moore relapsed.
At a birthday party, she drank and used pot and nitrous oxide it led to a seizure.
Moore felt that she was “given a choice” of whether to live or die in that moment.
“I think something had to give,” she said.
“When you come up to those places, you either go in or you go out.”
The experience was a wake-up call for Moore, who decided to prioritize her health from that moment on.
She got her first producing credit in 1991 with “Mortal Thoughts.”
Jane,” and Lifetime series “The Conversation.”

In 2020, she wrote about the project onInstagram.
“Excited to finally share what I’ve been working on!”
she wrote, alongside an image that showed her hunched over a laptop working on the show.
For Moore, the show gave her a chance to explore her sexuality in a new way.
This has been an incredible opportunity of opening into areas that I’m not comfortable with.
And that unto itself is already a gift."
It was Moore’s third attempt at writing the book.
The first time, her heart hadn’t been in it.
“There is no cover of a character.
It’s not somebody else’s interpretation of me.”
“It’s more of an awakening than a comeback,” she said.
Moore had previously practiced Kabbalah, a part of the Jewish religion that believes in the mysticism of God.
However, she eventually gave it up, finding that it had become somehwat corrupted by humanity.
However, she didn’t give up her spiritualism altogether.
As Moore explained, the course was designed to teach “soul-centered living.”

By the sound of things, she fully committed to the lockdown lifestyle.
She went on to explain that her lifestyle in Idaho tends to be hyper relaxed and low-key.
She embraced turning 60 in 2022
Demi Moore turned 60 in 2022.
As she told People, she welcomed the big birthday with open arms.
“It feels very liberating,” she said.
But I feel, in so many ways, more alive and present than ever."
In fact, Moore embraced aging without caving to ageist stereotypes.
“It’s changing this idea that women become less desirable as we get older.”
“To hear that in relation to yourself seems a bit out-of-body,” she confessed.
The disease means that Willis is losing his memory.
As Willis’ condition has worsened, Moore has struggled to come to terms with it.
But she had no idea he’d gone so far downhill."
In fact, when she saw him again, she allegedly found that Willis barely recognized her.
The source also claimed that Willis was becoming “aggressive” as his condition got worse.
