“Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a 'popcorn actress.' And at that time, I made that mean that this wasn't something I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn't be acknowledged, and I bought in and I believed that. And that corroded me over time, to the point where I thought, a few years ago, that maybe this was it... And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance. And the universe told me that you’re not done,” said Moore in her 2025 Golden Globes acceptance speech.
In addition to her recent success, Moore is being recognized for her more than 45-year career. The planned screenings of Ghost, in which she starred alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze, will commemorate one of her most well-known roles. The film received two Academy Awards in 1991, including Best Supporting Actress for Goldberg.
