During the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, Demi Moore wrote a new page in her career. The 62-year-old actress won her first major award as best actress for her daring role in The Substance. A victory full of emotions which dazzled the public and marked a turning point in his career, often judged unfairly by the industry.
Despite a prolific career spanning more than four decades, Demi Moore had never been rewarded at any major ceremony. However, his emblematic roles in Ghost, Indecent Proposal or even G.I. Jane made her an icon of the big screen. During her speech, she evoked a striking memory which illustrates the path she had to travel to prove wrong all those who said she was finished for the cinema.

There’s one thing this movie highlights: when we’re in times where we feel like we’re not smart enough, not thin enough, not successful enough, or just not enough, whatever either, well there is a woman who said something to me: “Don’t forget that you will never be enough, but you will only be able to know the value of what you are, of your identity, if you try to measure it ». »
