Demi Guynes Kutcher ( ; born November 11, 1962 as Demi Gene Guynes), known professionally as Demi Moore, is an American actress. After minor roles in film and a role in the soap opera ''General Hospital'', Moore established her career in films such as ''St. Elmo's Fire'' (1985), and in the early 1990s, became one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood with her successes in ''Ghost'' (1990), ''A Few Good Men'' (1992), ''Indecent Proposal'' (1993), and ''Disclosure'' (1994).

Moore took her professional name from her first husband, musician Freddy Moore, and is the mother of three daughters from her marriage to actor Bruce Willis. She has been married to actor Ashton Kutcher since 2005.

Early life

Moore was born Demi Gene Guynes in Roswell, New Mexico. As a child, she had a difficult and unstable home life. Her biological father, Charles Harmon, left her mother Virginia King (November 27, 1943 – July 2, 1998), after a two-month marriage, before Moore was born. As a result, Moore had the surname of her stepfather, Danny Guynes (March 9, 1943 – October 1980 by suicide), on her birth certificate. Danny Guynes frequently changed jobs; as a result, the family moved a total of forty times. Moore has two younger half-brothers: James Craig Harmon (paternal) and Morgan Guynes (maternal, born 1967). Her parents were alcoholics who often fought and beat each other. Moore was cross-eyed as a child and wore an eye patch in an attempt to correct the problem until it was ultimately corrected by two surgeries. She also suffered from kidney dysfunction.

Moore's family settled in Los Angeles in 1976. She attended Fairfax High School in Hollywood, where her schoolmates included Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis, bassist Michael Balzary (aka Flea) and actor Timothy Hutton. When Moore was 16, her friend Nastassja Kinski persuaded her to drop out of school to become an actress.

Career

After training with John Casablancas, Demi Moore made her film debut in the 1982 3-D science fiction/horror film, ''Parasite'', which was a hit on the drive-in circuit, ultimately grossing $7 million. However, Moore was not widely known until she played the part of Jackie Templeton on the ABC soap opera, ''General Hospital'', from 1982 to 1983. Moore also had an uncredited cameo at the end of the 1982 spoof ''Young Doctors in Love''.

In the mid-1980s, Moore appeared in the youth-oriented films ''St. Elmo's Fire'', ''Blame It on Rio'' and ''About Last Night...'', and she was often listed as one of the Brat Pack, a name the media dubbed a certain group of top young actors at the time. In 1988, Demi starred in ''The Seventh Sign'' directed by Carl Schultz. After the commercial success of ''Ghost'', Moore was given more prominent roles in ''A Few Good Men'', ''Indecent Proposal'', ''Disclosure'', and ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'' for which she was the first actress to reach the $10 million salary mark.

thumb|left|150px|Moore at the Huffington Post Pre-Inaugural Ball, 2009.During the early 1990s, she was the highest paid actress in Hollywood. She never surpassed the success of ''Ghost'', and had a string of less successful films like ''The Scarlet Letter'', ''The Juror'', ''Striptease'', and ''G.I. Jane''. Moore's ''Passion of Mind'' co-star Joss Ackland lambasted her by describing her as being "not very bright or talented", although he worked with her again on ''Flawless'' in 2008. At the same time, she produced and starred in a TV mini-series called ''If These Walls Could Talk'', written by Nancy Savoca. A three-part series on abortion, Savoca directed two segments, including the one in which Moore played a single woman in the 1950s seeking a back-alley abortion. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress for that role.

Moore was a founding "celebrity investor" in the Planet Hollywood chain of international theme restaurants (modeled after the Hard Rock Cafe and launched in New York on October 22, 1991) along with Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and then-husband Bruce Willis.

After a break from her acting career, Moore returned to the screen as the villain of the 2003 film ''Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle''. In 2006, she appeared in ''Bobby'' which featured an all-star cast, including her husband Ashton Kutcher, although they did not appear in any scenes together. She later starred in the thriller film ''Mr. Brooks'', which was released on June 1, 2007. She appeared in Jon Bon Jovi's longform video "Destination Anywhere" as Janie.

In 2006, Moore became the new face for the Helena Rubinstein brand of cosmetics.

''Vanity Fair'' controversy

In August 1991, Moore appeared nude on the cover of ''Vanity Fair'' under the title ''More Demi Moore''. Annie Leibovitz shot the picture while Moore was seven months pregnant with her daughter Scout LaRue, intending to portray "anti-Hollywood, anti-glitz" attitude. The cover sparked an intense controversy for ''Vanity Fair'' and Demi Moore. It was widely discussed on television, radio, and in newspaper articles. The frankness of Leibovitz's portrayal of a pregnant sex symbol led to divided opinions, ranging from complaints of sexual objectification to celebrations of the photograph as a symbol of empowerment.

The photograph was subject to numerous parodies, including the ''Spy'' magazine version, which placed Moore's then husband Bruce Willis' head on her body. In ''Leibovitz v. Paramount Pictures Corp.'', Leibovitz sued over one parody featuring Leslie Nielsen, made to promote the 1994 film ''Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult''. In the parody, the model's body was attached to what is described as "the guilty and smirking face" of Nielsen. The teaser said "Due this March". The case was dismissed in 1996 because the parody relied "for its comic effect on the contrast between the original". In November 2009, the Moroccan magazine ''Femmes du Maroc'' emulated the infamous pose with Moroccan news reporter Nadia Larguet, causing controversy in the majority Muslim nation. In August 1992, Moore would again appear nude on the cover of ''Vanity Fair'', modeling for the world's leading body painting artist, Joanne Gair in ''Demi's Birthday Suit''. The painting is widely considered to be the best-known example of modern body painting artwork.

Personal life

She married singer Freddy Moore in 1980 at the age of 17, retaining his surname. In 1987, Moore met and married actor Bruce Willis. They had three daughters together: Rumer Glenn Willis (born August 16, 1988), Scout LaRue Willis (born July 20, 1991), and Tallulah Belle Willis (born February 3, 1994). Moore and Willis divorced in 2000.

In 2005, Moore wed actor Ashton Kutcher after dating for two years.

Moore's primary residence is in Hailey, Idaho, near the famous Sun Valley resort, although she spends much time in the Los Angeles area with Kutcher. She also owns a waterfront mansion on Sebago Lake, Maine. She is a practicing follower of the Philip Berg's Kabbalah Centre religion, and initiated Kutcher into the faith, having said that she "didn’t grow up Jewish, but ... would say that [she has] been more exposed to the deeper meanings of particular rituals than any of [her] friends that did." Contrary to popular belief, Moore claims she has never been a raw foodist and dispelled the vegan rumors by eating a hamburger in a recent Mario Testino photo shoot.

Moore legally changed her last name to Kutcher two years after marrying Kutcher. However, she continues to use Moore in her professional life. According to the ''New York Times'', Moore is "the world's most high-profile doll collector," and among her favorites is the Gene Marshall fashion doll.

Patrick Wayne Swayze (; August 18, 1952 – September 14, 2009) was an American actor, dancer and singer-songwriter. He was best-known for his tough-guy roles, as romantic leading men in the hit films ''Dirty Dancing'' and ''Ghost'' and as Orry Main in the ''North and South'' television miniseries. He was named by ''People'' magazine as its "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991. His film and TV career spanned 30 years.

Diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer in January 2008, Swayze told Barbara Walters a year later that he was "kicking it". However, he died from the disease on September 14, 2009. His last role was the lead in an ill-fated A&E; TV series, ''The Beast'', which premiered on January 15, 2009. Due to a prolonged decline in health, Swayze was unable to promote the series. On June 15, 2009, ''Entertainment Tonight'' announced the show's cancellation.

Early life

Patrick Swayze was born on August 18, 1952, in Houston, Texas, the second child of Patsy Yvonne Helen (née Karnes; born 1927), a choreographer, dance instructor, and dancer, and Jesse Wayne Swayze (1925–1982), an engineering draftsman. Swayze was raised Roman Catholic. He had two younger brothers, actor Don Swayze (born 1958) and Sean Kyle (born 1962), and two sisters, Vickie Lynn (1949–1994) and Bambi. He was a sixth cousin once removed of news commentator John Cameron Swayze, and a relative of noted Texas Revolution soldier Henry Karnes.

Until the age of twenty, Swayze lived in the Oak Forest neighborhood of Houston, where he attended St. Rose of Lima Catholic School, Oak Forest Elementary School, Black Middle School, and Waltrip High School. During this time, he also pursued multiple artistic and athletic skills, such as ice skating, classical ballet, and acting in school plays. He played football for his high school and was hoping to receive a football scholarship for college until a knee injury ended his career. He studied gymnastics at nearby San Jacinto College for two years.

In 1972, he moved to New York City to complete his formal dance training at the Harkness Ballet and Joffrey ballet schools.

Career

Swayze's first professional appearance was as a dancer for Disney on Parade. He then starred as a replacement playing the role of Danny Zuko in the long-running Broadway production of ''Grease'' before his debut film role as "Ace" in ''Skatetown, U.S.A.''. He appeared as Pvt. Sturgis in the ''M*A*S*H'' episode "Blood Brothers" and had a brief stint in 1982 on a short lived TV series ''The Renegades'' playing a gang leader named Bandit. Swayze became known to the film industry after appearing in ''The Outsiders'' as the older brother of C. Thomas Howell and Rob Lowe. Swayze, Howell, and Howell's friend Darren Dalton reunited in ''Red Dawn'' the next year, and Lowe and Swayze reunited in ''Youngblood''. He was considered a member of the Brat Pack. His first major success was in the 1985 television miniseries ''North and South'', which was set during the American Civil War.

Swayze's breakthrough role came with his performance as dance instructor Johnny Castle in the 1987 film ''Dirty Dancing'', alongside his ''Red Dawn'' co-star, Jennifer Grey. ''Dirty Dancing'', a coming of age story, was a low-budget film that was intended to be shown in theaters for one weekend only and then go straight to video, but it became a surprise hit and achieved massive international success. It was the first film to sell one million copies on video, and as of 2009, it earned over $214 million worldwide and spawned several alternate versions, ranging from a television series to stage productions to a computer game. Swayze received a Golden Globe Award nomination for the role and also sang one of the songs on the soundtrack, "She's Like the Wind", which he had originally co-written with Stacy Widelitz for the film ''Grandview, U.S.A.'' The song became a top ten hit and has been covered by other artists.

After ''Dirty Dancing'', Swayze found himself typecast and appeared in several flops, of which ''Road House'' was the most successful. His biggest hit came in 1990, when he starred in ''Ghost'', with Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg. In 1991, he starred alongside ''Youngblood'' cast mate Keanu Reeves in another major action hit, ''Point Break'', and was also chosen by ''People'' magazine as that year's "Sexiest Man Alive".

Swayze was seriously injured in 1998 while filming HBO's ''Letters from a Killer'' near Ione, California when he fell from a horse and hit a tree. Both of his legs were broken and he suffered four detached tendons in his shoulder. Filming was suspended for two months, but the film aired in 1999. Swayze recovered from his injuries, but he had trouble resuming his career until 2000, when he co-starred in ''Waking Up in Reno'', with Billy Bob Thornton and Charlize Theron, and in ''Forever Lulu'', with Melanie Griffith.

In 2001, he appeared in ''Donnie Darko'', where he played a motivational speaker and closet pedophile, and in 2004, he played Allan Quartermain in ''King Solomon's Mines''. He also had a cameo appearance in the ''Dirty Dancing'' sequel, ''Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights'' as an unnamed dance instructor.

Swayze made his West End theatre début in the musical ''Guys and Dolls'' as Nathan Detroit on July 27, 2006, alongside Neil Jerzak, and remained in the role until November 25, 2006. His previous appearances on the Broadway stage had included productions of ''Goodtime Charley'' (1975) and ''Chicago''

Swayze also provided the voice for Cash the country music band dog in ''The Fox and the Hound 2'' and in 2007 starred in the film ''Christmas in Wonderland''. Swayze played an aging rock star in ''Powder Blue'', co-starring his younger brother Don in their first film together. Swayze starred in the A&E; FBI drama ''The Beast'', filmed in Chicago, as FBI Agent Charles Barker.

Personal life

Swayze was married to Lisa Niemi from June 12, 1975, until his death. The couple first met in 1970 when Swayze was 18 years old. Niemi, 14 years old at the time, was taking dance lessons from Swayze's mother. Swayze and Niemi had no children. In a 2008 interview, Swayze stated that Niemi was the inspiration for his 1987 hit song, "She's Like the Wind".

As a reaction to his father's death at age 57 from a heart attack in 1982, Swayze began to drink heavily. In 1989, Swayze said, "I've always felt there was something different in there (my personality), but I was scared to look for fear I wouldn't find anything. That's the reason I got into Buddhism, took est training, was into therapy, into Scientology, into Transcendental Meditation. I was trying to support that side of myself. But, you know, in Texas there isn't much support for that part of you." His sister Vicky committed suicide by drug overdose in 1994, leading him to seek treatment for alcoholism. After initial recovery, he temporarily withdrew from show business, retreating to his ranches in California and Las Vegas, New Mexico, to breed Arabian horses. His best-known horse was Tammen, a chestnut Arabian stallion.

Swayze, who was a certified pilot with an instrument rating, made the news on June 1, 2000, while flying with his dogs in his twin-engine Cessna from Van Nuys, California to Las Vegas. His plane developed a pressurization problem, causing Swayze to make a precautionary landing on a dirt road in a housing complex in Prescott Valley. The plane's right wing struck a light pole, but Swayze was unharmed. He locked the cockpit, left the aircraft in the subdivision, and obtained a ride—with his dogs—from a passing vehicle, allegedly in order to telephone the authorities. According to the police report, witnesses said that Swayze appeared to be extremely intoxicated and asked for help to remove evidence—an open bottle of wine and a 30-pack of beer—from the crash site. He made himself unavailable to police for several hours. It was later determined that the alcohol in question was not in the cabin, but stored in external storage compartments inaccessible in flight and that the probable cause of the accident was Swayze's physical impairment due to the cumulative effects of carbon monoxide from engine exhaust by-products, carbon monoxide from heavy tobacco use, and the loss of an undetermined amount of cabin pressurization.

Illness and death

Swayze was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer in late January 2008, and underwent chemotherapy and treatment with an experimental drug Vatalanib to cut off the blood supply to the tumor at the Stanford University Medical Center. On March 5, 2008, a Reuters article reported that Swayze "has a very limited amount of disease, and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far." Swayze's doctor confirmed that the actor was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but insisted he was not as close to death as reports suggest. Despite repeated tabloid claims that his death was imminent, Swayze continued to actively pursue his career. Specifically, Swayze was diagnosed with a type of pancreatic tumor called intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm.

In early May 2008, it was widely reported in a number of tabloids that Swayze had undergone surgery to remove part of his stomach after the spread of the cancer and that he had rewritten his will, transferring his property to his wife. In a statement made on May 28, Swayze said that he continued to respond well to treatment at Stanford University Medical Center. In late May 2008, he was seen at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game, his first public appearance since his diagnosis. In 2008 Swayze was treated with Cyberknife radiotherapy cancer treatment.

In late July 2008, six months after reportedly being given just weeks to live by medical experts, a healthy-appearing Swayze was asked by reporter in Los Angeles airport about this health. He replied, "I'm cooking. I'm a miracle dude. I don't know why".

Swayze appeared on the ABC, NBC, and CBS simulcast of ''Stand Up to Cancer'' in September 2008, to appeal to the general public for donations for the initiative. Swayze said to a standing ovation "I dream that the word 'cure' will no longer be followed by the words 'it's impossible'. Together, we can make a world where cancer no longer means living with fear, without hope, or worse". After the show ended, Swayze remained on-stage and talked to other cancer patients; executive producer Laura Ziskin said, "He said a beautiful thing: 'I'm just an individual living with cancer'. That's how he wants to be thought of. He's in a fight, but he's a fighter". In late 2008, Swayze denied claims made by tabloids that the cancer had spread to his liver. Swayze told Barbara Walters in January 2009 that he wanted the media to report that he was "kicking it".

When Barbara Walters asked him if he was using any holistic or alternative methods of treatment besides the chemotherapy, Swayze admitted to using some Chinese herbs, but not much. He then voiced his opposition to the unsupported claims made by proponents of alternative therapies, as noted by ABC News journalist Joseph Brownstein:

: ''Because of the grim prognosis, many patients turn to alternative therapies without scientific evidence behind them. Swayze did not.''

:: "That's one thing I'm not gonna do, is chase, is chase staying alive. I'm not, you know, you'll spend so much time chasing staying alive you won't live, you know? I wanna live. If anybody had that cure out there like so many people swear to me they do, you'd be two things: you'd be very rich, and you'd be very famous. Otherwise, shut up," ''he told Barbara Walters in an interview that aired in January of [2009].''

His last role was the lead in an A&E; TV series, ''The Beast'', which premiered on January 15, 2009. Owing to a prolonged decline in health, Swayze was unable to promote the series, and on June 15, 2009, ''Entertainment Tonight'' reported that the show had been cancelled. In an interview with Barbara Walters which aired in January 2009, Swayze admitted that he had a "tiny little mass" in his liver. On January 9, 2009, Swayze was hospitalized with pneumonia. The pneumonia was said to be a complication of chemotherapy treatments for Swayze's cancer. On January 16, he was released from the hospital to rest at home with his wife. On April 19, 2009, doctors informed Swayze that the cancer had again metastasized to his liver. Swayze stated that his chain smoking probably "had something to do with" the development of his disease. Photos taken of a gaunt Swayze in the months before his death showed him continuing to smoke.

Swayze died "with family at his side" on September 14, 2009, at age 57 (coinicidentally, the same age as his father), 20 months after being diagnosed. Swayze's publicist, Annett Wolf, confirmed to CNN that he had died of pancreatic cancer. He was cremated and his ashes scattered over his New Mexico ranch. He is survived by Lisa Niemi, his wife of 34 years.

Cultural impact

Swayze's name has become a commonly-used term in hip hop songs. Lyrics will use the phrase "...and I'm Swayze," meaning that the speaker has become "like a ghost", meaning he disappeared or is otherwise gone. This is a reference to the title character of Swayze's 1990 film ''Ghost''. It is known to have begun in the early 1990s, by prominent rappers such as EPMD, Black Sheep, CL Smooth, and more recently by such rappers as The Notorious B.I.G. in 2Pac's song ''Runnin' (Dying to Live)'', Method Man, Aesop Rock, and in Mistah F.A.B.'s ''Ghost Ride It''. The expression has become such a hip hop staple that it was even used in the Saturday Night Live hip hop parody, ''Lazy Sunday''.
