Summary

At the age of 62, Demi Moore is now officially Hollywood’s comeback kid. She bursts onto the scene in 80s classics like “St. Elmo’s Fire” and “About Last Night,” and establishes herself as one of Tinseltown’s hottest young stars and as a bonafide member of the “Brat Pack.” But despite being one of Hollywood’s heavy hitters, the “Ghost” star just can’t outrun her traumatic childhood. And after some high-profile box office bombs in the 90s, Demi spends the next 30 years rebuilding both her personal life and career. But now, with her Oscar-nominated turn in 2024's “The Substance,” Demi’s proving that not only is her career back on track, she’s finally at peace with herself for the first time in her life.
