GOLDEN GODDESS

Of all the winners at the Golden Globes, it was Demi Moore who stole the show, with her first major award at 62. All the more remarkable as it's no overnight success...

As a triumphant Demi Moore took to the winner's podium at this month's Golden Globes, glowing in her golden Giorgio Armani gown, few of the assembled Hollywood glitterati at the Beverly Hilton International Ballroom were in any doubt they were witnessing something special.

“I’m just in shock right now,” the 62-year-old actress breathed to rapturous applause and cheers. “I’ve been doing this a long time, like, over 45 years, and this is the first time I’ve won anything as an actor.” The sweet satisfaction of her well-deserved win is a culmination of a comeback that no-one would have expected a decade ago.

REMARKABLE RENAISSANCE

Demi’s re-entry into Hollywood has delighted her loved ones and fans alike. A clip of her daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, together with her ex-husband Bruce Willis, cheering her success at the Golden Globes went viral. And at the ceremony itself, her easy banter with The Substance co-star Margaret Qualley won her plaudits and she snapped pictures with Zendaya and Miley Cyrus. Her fellow stars were rapturous in their support of an overwhelmed Demi; among them Andrew Garfield, who rushed to talk to her backstage, and Elle Fanning, who Demi hugged before greeting Timothée Chalamet.

Jennifer Aniston marked her friend's achievement on Instagram with the caption: "Yes @demimoore" followed by a picture declaring: "WOMEN OVER 40, RISE UP", echoing Demi's impassioned acceptance speech.
