I doubt very much that this statement is true:

Her half-brother, Michael Moore, once had a crush on her before it was determined they were related. He is famous for his documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.

First, Moore is not her birth name, but her married name from her first marriage. But Michael Moore was born Michael Moore, in Flint, Michigan.

Removed the following from the article:

She became widely known by posing nude while pregnant. She also hired three cameramen to film the birth of her first child.

Firstly, she was already a famous actress before did those nude shots IIRC. Secondly, the information that she did so is useless without context. Were they pornography appearing in a pregnancy fetish magazine? Were they private shots that somehow leaked out? Where, and why is it significant.

As to the second factoid, I hardly see why that is noteworthy. Lots of people videotape the birth of their child, and if you had Ms. Moore's financial resources, why wouldn't you hire professionals? --Robert Merkel 23:46 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hm. Very consistent reasoning here. I agree with all of the above. On the other hand, we could remove thousands of chunks of text containing that sort of "useless" information from as many articles for the same reason(s). Without getting too philosophical, any event between someone's birth and their death may be considered irrelevant and unimportant by others. --KF 23:53 10 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Her Vanity Fair cover is more famous than most of her movies. Definitely belongs in her bio. -- Someone else 00:03 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I agree that it belongs in her bio with that extra detail. As to the second cut, my concern that the quote makes her, at first glance, look like some kind of kook when no such inference should really be taken. --Robert Merkel 00:07 11 Jun 2003 (UTC)

More ndue photos

Not sure what they were for, but Ashton is pissed. They're pretty easy to get, just use google.

Her late mother also did a nude photo shoot, for the porno mag HIGH SOCIETY, at around the same time - not a pretty sight.Dolmance 17:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:45, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Scientology?

I see that Demi Moore is in a Category:Former Scientologists category. This got added on 23rd of June but there is absolutely no reference to Scientology in the text. Googling for this results in the big scientologist celebs FAQ and a whole slew of hits associating her rather with Kabbalah and the Kabbalah Center. (She's mentioned in both articles.) I know nothing about celebrity culture and can't edit this one sensibly, but if this category is going to remain, could someone put all this into some kind of context in the article itself?

Somewhere I read that she was looking into it, but Bruce Willis discouraged her because he didn't want the kids growing up in the cult. Afalbrig (talk) 04:51, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ancestry

Can someone source this to a reputable source : "Demi is of French , Welsh and Cherokee Origin." Mad Jack 20:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't this quote a little questionable?

She became well-known after a string of 1980s teen-oriented movies, and mutated into one of the best-known actresses in 1990s Hollywood.

From the opening paragraph. I'm fairly certain "...and mutated into one of the best-known acresses in 1990s..." was some covert vandalism done by a mischevious soul. While funny, I've changed the wording around somewhat to make it flow a little better. Shadowrun 21:52, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Joss Ackland's insult

The article claims Ackland and Demi co-starred in Flawless, a film in which neither actor appears. The film he mentions when making this comment--a film they both actually appear in--is Passion of Mind. Is this some sort of vandalism from bizarro land? Soy Keymaster 08:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As to the Joss Ackland insult, I agree that they did not star in the movie Flawless that the page is linked to; however, they do star in a movie of the same name Flawless (2007). So once again, same name but two different movies. Someone needs to change the link on both Demi's page and Joss Ackland's page.Kappaowl 19:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Decent Picture

Come on surely someone can get a better pic, than that "true colour" one? It makes her nose look terrible. This women is like famous, I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate the pic. Ryan4314 08:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, that picture had to be sought out, one of her worst and it hardly gives an accurate representation of how she usually looks. Someone spiteful? MakeshiftLEGEND 02:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Roles

Could you add her performance in Disclosure?

A clarification regarding her first husband

This does not belong in the main article, however I'm posting it here because many websites (do a Google if you don't believe me) are making the statement that Demi Moore's first husband, Fred Moore, was a drummer for Bill Haley & His Comets. I only just discovered this rumor and it's pretty widespread. While Haley did in fact have a drummer by this name, this is a different man and there is no relation to Demi Moore. 23skidoo 19:19, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify the dates of her first marriage. In the opening paragraph it is listed as 1979. In the personal life section is is listed as 1980. Which is it?

Conflicting Ashton's Age

Minor details, at the top of the page it states that Ashton is 15 years her junior, while in her personal life section states seventeen years her junior. It should probably be noted on what's correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.72.79.148 (talk) 04:20, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounciation

Her name is often mispronounced "DEM-ee", as in "demitasse." The correct sound is "De-MEE," short for "Demetria." NBK1122 (talk) 13:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Picture

Is it just me or is the picture ridiculous..it would be like putting one up of George Bush and having his past on a blackboard behind him...why is Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis in a black and white photo shop behind Demi Moore? Seems very strange.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.95.45.157 (talk) 06:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Neice

Is Destiny Sue Moore (From Rock of Love 2) really Demi's neice, if so then this needs to be noted somewhere —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spiderman2351 (talk • contribs) 22:01, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well the young lady changes her name almost as often as she changes clothes, known variously as Destiny Moore, Destiny Sue Moore, Destiney Susan Moore, Destiny Wilson, Destiney Susan Walker, so it quite probable that she is not even named Moore in the first place. A quick scan of the search engines throws up no obvious mentions of Demi Moore being her aunt, so at present it would appear that apart from a vague physical resemblence anything further would be down to be pure conjecture or original research. No need for inclusion just yet. 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 23:32, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further note. The only mention of Demi being Destiney's aunt seems to have been sourced from here, Demi's wikipedia entry and was originally inserted unreferenced by an anonymous editor. From here it has now spread to three or four other web biographies that are outdated wiki mirrors. Until reliable reference and sourcing can be provided from a third party the repeated posting of the information should be considered suspect and deleted. 21stCenturyGreenstuff (talk) 12:00, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
