Demi Moore: The Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood

Nigel Goodall. Mainstream Publishing Company, $16.99 (190pp) ISBN 978-1-84018-269-9

Although she hasn't had a blockbuster recently, Demi Moore undeniably ranks high among the Hollywood elite. Now, big-name biographer Nigel Goodall (Winona Ryder; etc.) presents Demi Moore: The Most Powerful Woman in Hollywood. Goodall never interviewed Moore for the book, nor did she authorize it (which may account for the disappointing photos); nevertheless, she will likely be pleased with Goodall's evenhanded, up-front telling of her troubled, unstable childhood; her rise from model and soap actress to the highest-paid female movie star; the birth of her three daughters and her ultimately incompatible marriage to Bruce Willis. Agent, Robert Smith. ( Feb.)
