Two years later, the adult magazine called "Oui" featured her on their front page, where she was photographed nude. Her venture into the modeling world created a foundation for Moore as a young celebrity. She raked in a considerable amount of money due to her engagement in the modeling business.

She was once the highest paid actor in film industry history

In 1996, Moore was the highest-paid actress in movie history after receiving a check of $12.5 million to act as the main character in the erotic black comedy film, "Strip Tease."

As the movie ends, Erin quits her stripping business when she gets her daughter's custody again, and the court sentences her former husband for his criminal activities. Despite low local box office sales, the movie was a huge success and ended up selling an estimated $113 million against a $50 million budget. In an interview with Explore Entertainment, producer Dawn Steel stated that "Strip Tease" creators knew that they needed sexy women to make a hit erotic film. Dawn goes on to add that the movie's producers saw Moore and her co-star Sharon as the perfect hottest women to play in such a film, thus paying them a lot of money for their roles.

In 1988 the cinema received four nominations and won two of them. MTV Awards nominated the film for Best Fight, and it also scooped the Motion Picture Sound Editor's Award for Best Sound Editing. Demi had to shave her hair to match the role of O'Neill in the movie. She reportedly carried home a whopping $11.4 million check, one of the highest pays for any female actress at that time.
