About this film? Did she think it was going to showcase her "acting" ability? People would take her more seriously as an "artist?" She even got implants for her role (which she subsequently removed). But Let's face it, this is remembered as the film where you get to see Demi Moore's tits on display.
She was paid $12.5 million for this movie, which explains a lot. I guess the boob job was a worthwhile investment.
It was by far her best roll
shareI am channel surfing right now and this is on Encore. I stop and watch it for a few minutes. I feel sorry for her... I can see now she was drugging back then. She couldn't have possibly been sober!!! She is the worst actress of all time who made money from her bad acting! The breast implants paid off, but what an embarrassment! She is washed up!

Yeah, no one took her seriously after this.
She went topless in quite a few films, though.

How Striptease Almost Ended Demi Moore's Acting Career
https://www.looper.com/460608/how-striptease-almost-ended-demi-moores-acting-career/
The wacky plot of "Striptease" wasn't exactly setting up its stars for success, but film critics pretty consistently thought Demi Moore could've done better with her role. The movie earned a Metascore of 37 out of 100, with critics wishing for more comedy — and less stripping — as in this critique from SFGate's Mick LaSalle. Others, such as the late Gene Siskel for the Chicago Tribune, commented that the movie was first and foremost about Moore's ultra-fit post-pregnancy body rather than any real story.share
Moore would get some formal recognition for her acting, however — just not the kind an actress wants. For her performance in "Striptease," she received the 1997 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress, a big deal for a role that came with such a high salary. Unfortunately, she would take the title again the following year for her performance as Lieutenant Jordan O'Neill in "G.I. Jane" (via IMDb). As Terri Schwartz noted in 2009 for MTV, Moore's spell of bad movies would last for quite some time, with the actress regaining some footing with the 2003 movie "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," although by that time, her reign as the It Girl on the big screen had come to an end.
Burt Reynolds, Ving Rhames, Siobhan Fallan, Robert Patrick, and Armand Assante were also in this movie, and they tried really hard.
