Demi Moore gained recognition around the world with her appearances on General Hospital and in movies like Blame It on Rio, St. Elmo’s Fire and About Last Night, but she reached super stardom with her role in the movie Ghost. Many remember her for her nude photoshoot with the magazine Oui as well, but she wasn’t an overnight success by any means.

She dropped out of high school to pursue a career on screen and she quickly learned that things weren’t going to be that easy. She once got a job as a debt collector in the 70’s. But not the kind that bugged the hell out of you with repeated harassing phone calls. Moore actually went to people’s houses and knocked on their doors to collect the money that was owed.

She went on to a tremendous career with several other box office smash hit movies like A Few Good Men and Striptease and she is considered one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood.

Think back to the days that she was knocking on the doors of strangers. How many people slammed their doors in her face or were scared when she showed up on their doorstep? How many of those people then saw her when she appeared in Oui and thought that she looks familiar?

One thing is for sure, Moore has more than enough money to go back and help those people that she was paid to harass back in the day. But did she? We will probably never know.
