Demi Moore was born in Roswell, New Mexico, to Virginia King. The 62-year-old actress grew up believing that her real father was Dan Guynes. However, she later discovered that Guynes was not her biological father.
In her autobiography “Inside Out,” Demi Moore described how she felt when she found out that Guynes was not her biological father. She wrote that she began to feel “as if I wasn’t wanted, or that I didn’t deserve to be here.”
The real father of the “Ghost” star was a man named Charles Foster Harmon Sr., who left Virginia King before the actress was born.
King later married Guynes, who raised Demi Moore along with her half-brother. However, Guynes took his own life in 1980, shortly after his second divorce from the actress’s mother.
In 1991, the “G.I. Jane” star stated that she had no kind of relationship with the man considered to be her “biological father.”
The actress also shared other difficult moments from her personal life, such as her mother’s struggle with alcoholism and several suicide attempts.
“I remember using my fingers, the tiny fingers of a child, to pull from my mother’s mouth the pills she had tried to swallow,” wrote Demi Moore, describing one of these episodes.
Moore herself admitted that she struggled with alcohol and drug addiction and managed to check into rehab at the request of director Joel Schumacher, who worked with her on “St. Elmo’s Fire.”
