Demi Moore, 饾悰饾惃饾惈饾惂 on November 11, 1962, played the role of Molly Jensen, an artist grappling with the death of her partner, Sam. Moore, now 62, remains active in Hollywood, advocating for women’s rights and mental health, and continues to star in various projects.

Tony Goldwyn, 饾悰饾惃饾惈饾惂 in 1960, played the villainous Carl Bruner. At 64, Goldwyn continues to thrive as both an actor and director, with notable roles in television and film, including the hit series “Scandal.”
Whoopi Goldberg, who won an Academy Award for her role as the psychic Oda Mae Brown, remains a prominent figure in entertainment at age 69, co-hosting “The View” while continuing her acting career.
The film also featured memorable performances from Phil Leeds and Vincent Schiavelli, both of whom have since passed away. Leeds passed away in 1998 at 82, while Schiavelli lost his battle with lung cancer in 2005 at 57.
