'Drunk and high' Demi Moore almost lost 'St. Elmo's Fire' role to this megastar

Demi Moore nearly lost her role as Jules in the 1985 film *St. Elmo's Fire* after arriving at a costume fitting under the influence. Director Joel Schumacher almost replaced her with Madonna, but Moore was given a 10-day ultimatum to get clean. She secured the part but required a full-time sober companion throughout production to ensure her stability on set.
