Demi Moore was already a household name prior to playing Samantha, thanks to her roles in St. Elmo's Fire, Ghost, and A Few Good Men. After Now and Then's release, her career kept soaring. In fact, Moore was Hollywood's highest paid actress in 1995, which help her land $12.5 million for her starring role in Striptease.
She later went on to star in G.I. Jane and in the HBO miniseries If These Walls Could Talk before taking a self-imposed career hiatus to focus on raising her three daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, with then-husband Bruce Willis. Moore returned to the screen with small roles in movies like Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle before famously marrying Ashton Kutcher in 2005. The couple called it quits in 2011, but Moore continues to act. You can currently watch her on Empire, where she has a recurring role.
