FILMS: Demi Moore on Standing Up to Toxic Beauty Culture
Demi Moore was a troubled member of the “Brat Pack,” who overcame her self-esteem issues to become the highest-paid actress in Hollywood, starring in films like “Indecent Proposal,” “Charlie’s Angels” and “Striptease.” Her latest film, “The Substance,” is about an aging TV star who discovers a sinister potion that can make her a younger, more perfect version of herself — but at a terrible price.
