Demi Moore was the perfect actress
Demi Moore filled the stalls in the nineties and made each title a success, but behind that sweet image hides a woman full of insecurities, with a terrible childhood and a maturity that led to addictions and heartbreak.
This is reflected by the protagonist of Some Good Men in her autobiography Inside Out of her. My story (Roca Editorial), is a stark account of the abuse she suffered in her childhood that, terrible as it may seem, she believes her mother facilitated.
At the age of fifteen, she was raped by a man who claimed that she had paid the mother of the then-teenager. "I'll never know if Ginny accepted that five hundred dollars in exchange for Val F- me. But I do not doubt that she gave him the key to the apartment she shared with her fifteen-year-old daughter."
He also talks in the book about his addiction to alcohol and drugs: "I sniffed so much (cocaine) that I was about to open a hole in my nose", about his relationship with Bruce Willis and about his life with Ashton Kutcher, whose separation returned to take her to hell.
As in a catharsis, Demi Moore allows her life to become everyone's property, with a biography with which she frees herself from the weight of guilt, reconciles with herself and those around her with an overwhelming sincerity, and with which it destroys the idea of an easy life, full of glamour.
She says of her childhood: "The love I received as a child was perverse, and that is why I ended up associating love with suffering", and of the doubts before her first marriage, when she was only 18 years old, she says: "I did not want to accept that I was going to get married just to distract myself and forget, for a few days, the pain of losing my father".
It is not the first time that the actress has risen from her ashes and she looks straight at her life. Her memoirs are currently one of the best-selling books in the United States, pages that reach Spanish bookstores today and that show how difficult it is to achieve a balanced family life and continue to be a star in Hollywood when it passes. time.
Her childhood and adolescence were marked by her parents' addictions and arguments, a destructive coexistence in which she had to intervene and prevent her mother's suicide.
"That night, something changed in the depths of my being. My childhood was over. I stopped being a girl whom they tried to care for and educate to become a little woman who had to help them to clean up the dirty laundry."
The protagonists of Ghost confess that she was horrified by the idea of being like her parents and drinking without control, an addiction that came with her first role on television and from which she has come and gone depending on the difficulties that life put in her path. in addition to recognizing that cocaine was also his partner at other times.
In 1987, Bruce Willis, the father of her three daughters, came into her life. United by a difficult childhood, the couple understood each other perfectly and decided to get married. "It made me feel like a princess," she says in Ella Moore's book.
But he acknowledges that the personal traumas of both did not take long to appear and when his eldest daughter, Rummer, was only two years old, the first cracks appeared in a relationship that broke up, but that has never stopped being friendly, as has been seen. on different occasions in which the couple has attended different events with their daughters.
They separated in 1998, two years after the premiere of one of her most controversial films, Striptease, which made him obsessed with her body to appear splendid on screen. "I followed a very strict and restrictive diet; for breakfast, I had half a cup of oatmeal and mixed it with water; the rest of the day I ate protein and little vegetables. And nothing else."
After she came Lieutenant O'Neill (1997) and her obsession with a perfect body led her to get huge muscles. "One day, while I was taking a shower, I had an epiphany: I want to be natural and go back to being the way I am. I no longer wanted to starve,"
Her relationship with Ashton Kutcher After a period of inactivity in which she withdrew from the cinema to take care of her daughters, the actress returned to acting with a spectacular image and soon after with a new relationship: an actor fifteen years younger than her, Ashton Kutcher.
Even though there were not many who predicted a long future for them, the relationship lasted more than six years. The couple did not stop showing how much fun they had together on social networks and how complemented they were.
The actress reveals that her greatest desire was to have a child together. Unfortunately, she suffered a miscarriage at six months, a situation that plunged her into deep pain.
Later several fertilization treatments would come that did not come to fruition, the couple opened up to relationships with third parties, and the news about his infidelities returned to plunge her into despair: "I met the man of my dreams, I did not detach myself from him and he It became my addiction."
A reflection led her to realize that her relationship with her daughters -Rummer, Talulah, and Scout- had deteriorated, although she has managed to recover it over time and dedicates the end of the book to them.
"My love, my angels, my reason for being. Splendid, dynamic, sensible, intelligent women. I cannot feel more proud of you. Thank you for letting me into your life and for giving me your love, support, and encouragement to write this book Demi Moore concludes.
