In a desperate bid to reclaim her youth, she turns to a black-market drug that transforms her into a younger version of herself, played by Margaret Qualley, but the transformation comes with unforeseen consequences.

Demi Moore made a triumphant comeback at the Golden Globes, earning the Best Actress award for her role in a body horror film that has reignited her career. At 62, Moore delivered a heartfelt speech while accepting the award, sharing with the audience that she had been "at a low point" professionally before landing the role in 'The Substance.' The win marks a career resurgence for Moore, who credited the film with helping her rediscover her passion and sense of belonging in the industry. During her moving acceptance speech, Moore described the award as a testament to "the gift of doing what I love" and a reminder that she truly belongs in the acting world.

She first emerged as a Hollywood star in the 1980s when she appeared in films like 'St. Elmo’s Fire' (1985) and 'About Last Night' (1986). She went on to become one of the industry's most talked-about actresses in the 1990s after her performances in 'Ghost' (1990), 'A Few Good Men' (1992), and 'Indecent Proposal' (1993). In 1996, she became the highest-paid actress in film history up to that point, after pocketing US$12.5 million for one role. With her performance in 'The Substance,' she has reestablished herself in the entertainment world and revitalized her career.

In this gallery, we take a look at some of her best films ever.
