Dont call it a comeback,Demi Moorehas been with us for years.
And wouldnt ya know?
That younger self winds up taking over as the host of Sparkles show.
Demi Moore in ‘The Substance’The Match Factory
WithStripteasein 1996, Moore became the highest paid actress of the time with a $12.5 million payday.
DEADLINE:How long have you been waiting for a script like this?
Is this a rare find?
‘Ghost’
The whole movie feels like a metaphor for you and your career to a certain extent.
It kind of made it worth jumping in.
MOORE:I dont think in the moment Ive ever felt it was too far.
Like the same withStriptease.
There was so much more to me to that then it being about just a stripper.
Its about trying to survive and take care of their child and this being a means to an end.
Janethat pushed forward a provocative question of why shouldnt women be in combat at that time?
DEADLINE:Tell me about your prep on this movie.
Was it an independent production in the sense of having a limited number of weeks to crash and run?
So, really it was kind of coming at it from that.
So, this was definitely physically and emotionally challenging.
DEADLINE:Had you met Margaret before?
MOORE:Well, Margaret knows my daughters.
I obviously know her mother.
It was like I had known her forever.
DEADLINE:Lets go back down memory lane.
When you have something like that, its electric.
What was the first sense you got whenGhostwas really resonating with people?
But you know the real profundity of it isnt something that I think you could ever anticipate or expect.
Im still in shock to the response to this movie.
I will point out something I find kind of intriguing.
I dont read reviews generally.
That goes back toGhost.
I sawGhostand thought Wow, this really is wonderful and the reviews were awful.
Its the least part of the movie.
