American actress Demi Moore made her film debut in 1981 and joined the cast of the daytime soap opera General Hospital that same year. After departing the show in 1983, she came to prominence as a member of the Brat Pack with roles in Blame It on Rio (1984), St. Elmo's Fire (1985), and About Last Night... (1986). Moore established herself as a bankable star with Ghost, the highest-grossing film of 1990. Her performance was praised and earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination. She had further box office success in the early 1990s with A Few Good Men (1992), Indecent Proposal (1993), and Disclosure (1994).

In 1996, Moore became the highest-paid actress in film history when she received an unprecedented $12.5 million to star in Striptease. The large-budget starring vehicles The Scarlet Letter (1995), The Juror (1996), and G.I. Jane (1997) fell below commercial expectations and contributed to a downturn in her career. She has since held sporadic leading roles in the arthouse films Passion of Mind (2000), Flawless (2008), and Blind (2016), as well as supporting roles in Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003), Bobby (2006), Mr. Brooks (2007), Margin Call (2011) and Rough Night (2017).

In 2024, Moore received widespread acclaim for her performance in the body horror film The Substance, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. Hailed by critics as a bold career resurgence, her role was praised for its physical intensity and emotional depth. Moore won the Critics Choice Award, Golden Globe Award, and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress, and received additional nominations for the Academy Award, BAFTA Award, and Film Independent Spirit Award. Moore's primetime television work includes the cable anthology If These Walls Could Talk (1996) and the streaming series Brave New World (2020). She also had a recurring role on Empire (2015–2017) and portrayed Ann Woodward in the limited series Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (2024).
