10 Fascinating Hollywood Stories You Didn't Know
10. That's Demi Moore On The Poster For I Spit On Your Grave
It’s never been acknowledged publicly, but according to Charles Band, the fast and cheap mastermind who produced Metalstorm: The Destruction Of Jared Syn and Ghoulies, Demi Moore admitted as much to him in the early 80s.
The pair met on the set of 1982’s Parasite, the 3D Alien rip-off that gave the actress her first leading role. The way Band remembers it, they were chatting in his office, where he just happened to have the I Spit On Your Grave poster on his wall. Noticing it, Moore said, “Don’t tell anybody, but that’s me up there…”
She’d done a model photo shoot when she was 18, not knowing what it was for, and was surprised to herself plastered across video boxes and billboards, advertising a film Roger Ebert described as “so sick, reprehensible and contemptible that I can barely believe it’s playing in respectable theatres.”
The picture’s lead actress, Camille Keaton, has always denied that it was her on the poster, so if true it has has to rank among Hollywood’s worst kept secrets.
