“I have become the best paid actress”: 30 years ago, Demi Moore won over $ 12 million for the role she was “ashamed of”

Last year, invited by Demi Moore, invited to the New -York Times Podkast, was returning to his career – and in a painful episode: in 1996 the release of the film Streptease. Beyond the monumental seal, which he has touched on this role, the record amount of time hides the experience he views today as a course mistake.

In 2024, Half of the Moore On the front of the scene he returned with a substance, for which he was appointed to an Oscar. The actress took advantage of this visibility to revise her career drop and drop. Thus, he pointed out with emotion, the turning point of the turn, which was a ghost, this cult film that explodes its dignity, even though the original doubts about the success of the project.

But in a completely different registry, he also agreed to wait more to wait for a career choice that left his scars: Strip. At the time Half of the Moore It was on top. He attached boxes (men of dignity, obscene sentence, oppression) and symbolizes women’s success in Hollywood.

For StripShe takes on a bold role: the lonely mother that forced them to become a stripper to finance a legal battle around her daughter’s guard. She is bare on the screen, knowing that the film will be checked from all sides. Instead, he signed a contract for $ 12.5 million – an unprecedented amount at the time.

The starting point of criticism

“” “Interestingly, when I became the best paid actress, why was it the choice at that time? I do not accept this personally. I think those who were the first to get this type of salary equality would probably be affected. Because I made a film about the world of striptes and body, I was very shameful.»

A woman in Hollywood
