Demi Moore Recalls Her 24/7 Sober Companion on Set

VIDEO – NOW SHE IS HER OWN –

June 14, 2024 – In conversation with her fellow Brat Pack alum, Moore recalls director Joel Schumacher going to bat for her during that period in her life.  Emilio Estevez was the “unofficial president,” the Brat Pack — a nod to the Rat Pack of the ‘50s — included Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Rob Lowe, Moore, and Andrew McCarthy. 

“They could have easily just found someone else,” Moore notes. “Going to treatment, they were like, ‘We want you to check in.’ I’m like ‘No, no, I’m starting a movie.’ And they said, ‘Yes, but what’s more important to you: the movie or your life?’ And I said, ‘The movie! C’mon, what are you talking about?’ For me, I didn’t have any value for myself. I think I was so fearful of failing, fearful of losing, and desperate to kind of fit in [and] belong. My need to please was definitely on high alert.”
