A sultry brunette with an unmistakable husky voice, Moore started out as a model before landing a role on the daytime soap
General Hospital in 1982. After tackling a handful of supporting film roles, she gained mainstream attention as a gorgeous coke-addled college grad in
St. Elmo's Fire. She and the rest of the hot young cast — including her then fiancé, Emilio Estevez — became collectively known as the Brat Pack. However, as the '80s wore on, the other members faded into obscurity while Moore's star continued to rise with a string of blockbusters (
Ghost,
A Few Good Men,
Indecent Proposal) and a high-profile marriage to megastar Bruce Willis. Prized more for her comely appearance than her acting skills, Moore was for a time Hollywood's highest-paid actress, earning over $12 million to showcase her incredible body in 1996's
Striptease, but the film went bust. In 1997 Moore took a long hiatus from the big screen, during which her marriage to Willis fizzled. In 2003 the spotlight hit her once again when she signed on as a villainess in
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and went public with her relationship with actor Ashton Kutcher, who is 15 years her junior. Although the movie failed to take off, her romance with Kutcher did and they married in 2005.
