Demi Moore Interviewed in 1986 by KVUE About Last Night
Demi Moore's Rejection of Elmer Bernstein's Score for 'About Last Night'
In a 1986 interview with KVUE, Demi Moore discussed her role in the film About Last Night. Moore, who was relatively unknown at the time, was praised for her performance. The interview, which is now part of the Texas Archive of the Moving Image, provides a fascinating glimpse into the making of the film.
Moore was initially hesitant to take on the role of Debbie, a young woman who has a one-night stand with a man named Danny (Rob Lowe). However, she was eventually persuaded by the script's honesty and humor. Moore's performance was widely praised, and she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her work.
One of the most interesting aspects of the interview is Moore's discussion of the film's music. Moore reveals that she rejected Elmer Bernstein's original score for the film. Bernstein, who had composed the music for such classic films as The Magnificent Seven and To Kill a Mockingbird, was reportedly disappointed by Moore's decision.
However, Bernstein eventually wrote a letter to Moore thanking her for rejecting his score. Bernstein explained that he had been able to use the music for another film, which turned out to be the 1987 drama The Untouchables.
The KVUE interview with Demi Moore is a valuable piece of film history. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the making of About Last Night and offers insights into the career of one of Hollywood's most successful actresses.
