Demi Moore roller skating west on the Sunset Strip during a photo shoot in 1977 for a story explaining the life of a typical Los Angeles teenager

In the background right behind Demi's head is the Licorice Pizza store that later became Aahs; Matt Groening worked behind the counter there ca. 1978 or '79.

At 15 years old, Demi Moore came home to find the front door locked from the inside. Inside, her stepfather, who had drifted in and out of her life and battled his own darkness, had taken his life.

Born Demetria Guynes in Roswell, New Mexico she grew up in chaos. Her mother, Virginia, struggled with alcoholism, and the family moved more than 30 times, each new town bringing a different “father figure” and the same lack of stability. She battled undiagnosed dyslexia

Her first break came on General Hospital in 1982, but St. Elmo’s Fire (1985) made her a Brat Pack star. While others rode the wave of youthful fame, Demi carried something heavier — a depth that made her characters feel urgent and real. She didn’t act just to be seen; she acted to finally say what she had never been able to voice. Blockbusters followed — Ghost (1990), A Few Good Men (1992),
