Demi Moore Reveals She Had a 24/7 'Sober Companion' While Filming 'St. Elmo's Fire': 'So Fearful of Failing'

Demi Moore appears in Andrew McCarthy’s new documentary ‘BRATS' about the Brat Pack of the 1980s: 'I was so fearful of failing,' she recalls, revealing that she had a 'sober companion with me 24/7, during the whole shooting.'

McCarthy, 61, tracks down Moore and many of their costars from 1985’s classic St. Elmo's Fire to walk down memory lane over 40 years after the term Brat Pack was coined in a New York magazine story written by David Blum. Director Joel Schumacher, continues Moore, “stuck his neck out for me” when casting the movie, co-written with Carl Kurlander, about a college clique hanging out at a Washington, D.C. bar. Moore detailed her journey with drug and alcohol abuse — both during her Hollywood breakout appearing on General Hospital and later, during her marriage to Ashton Kutcher — in her 2019 memoir Inside Out.
