Demi Moore looks stunning on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. In the interview, she opened up about her life — including a tragic moment in her childhood that changed everything.

Demi’s mom, Virginia King, suffered from a drug overdose when Demi was a child.

“The next thing I remember is using my fingers, the small fingers of a child, to dig the pills my mother had tried to swallow out of her mouth while my father held it open and told me what to do,” she told the outlet. “Something very deep inside me shifted then, and it never shifted. My childhood was over.”

Demi moved 30 times as a child, and her stepfather, Danny Guynes, died by suicide in 1980.

The actress later reconciled with her mother before her death in 1998.
