Demi FAME. FAMILY @ FINDING PEACE

At 61, Demi Moore has overcome old demons and begun exciting new chapters in both her personal and professional lives

She looked radiant. As Demi Moore made her way down the red carpet at the LA premiere of her new body horror film, The Substance, on Sept. 16, she oozed confidence in a glittering, stained glass-inspired Oscar de la Renta gown. The night was nothing short of a triumph for the actress, whose performance in the movie — which received a 13-minute standing ovation during the Cannes International Film Festival in May — has also sparked Oscar buzz and the best reviews of her career.

Demi is enjoying a renaissance at 61. “This is the most exciting time of my life,” she said on Today on Sept. 9. “My children [Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, with ex-husband Bruce Willis, 69] are grown. I have the most independence and autonomy to really redefine where I want to go. I don’t know what that looks like or where it is, but I’m just excited to be living in it.”

After decades of fighting personal demons, “Demi is happier than ever, and it shows,” adds a source. “She’s about to turn 62 [in November] and has never looked or felt better.”
