From the Associated Press:
Demi Moore wants to tell her story.
Moore’s agent, Luke Janklow, confirmed Monday that the actress is working on a memoir and is meeting with publishers in New York. He declined to comment further.
The 47-year-old Moore is known for her work in the films “Ghost” and “A Few Good Men.” In 1991, she posed naked and pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine.
Moore has three daughters with former husband Bruce Willis. She married Ashton Kutcher in 2005.
What could she possibly have to say in a memoir beyond what the AP tells us in those last two paragraphs?
