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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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?

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

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)
