When she accepted her Golden Globe for best actress for her fearless performance in The Substance earlier this year, Demi Moore, now 62, recalled how, some 30 years ago, a producer had shaken her confidence by labeling her “a popcorn actress,” someone who makes popular movies but is rarely on an awards show stage. It was a casually brutal dismissal of a highly impressive, now more-than-four-decade-long career—one that has taken the radiant movie star from fresh-faced Brat Packer to magnetic romantic lead to the highest-paid female actor in the world and, finally, an Oscar frontrunner.
Ahead of the Academy Awards ceremony on March 2, we take a look back at eight of Demi Moore’s most memorable performances to date.
St. Elmo’s Fire (1985)
Four years after making her screen debut at the age of 18, Moore’s big break came in the form of Joel Schumacher’s Brat Pack classic, alongside Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Andie MacDowell. As the reckless, hard-partying banker in a gang of recent graduates grappling with the pressures of adulthood, she’s an electric presence from the get-go.
Ghost (1990)
