Demi dropped out of high school at age 16 so she would pursue an acting career, posed nude for “Oui” magazine in 1980 and her luscious body soon got her into movie business.
However, it wasn’t all peachy for the famous actress. She was born to a single teenaged alcoholic and bipolar mother, and her stepfather struggled with jobs due to his alcohol and drug addictions.
This resulted in the family moving over 15 times during her childhood.
Her parents were both suffering from alcohol abuse, but have also physically abused each other and little Demi had to witness all the violence in her home. In 1980, her stepfather committed suicide.
