“As WCRF celebrates the 25th Unforgettable Evening event, we’re thrilled to be honoring Demi Moore, a true icon, and our dear friend and longtime supporter, Wallis Annenberg,” said Gala Chair and WCRF Co-Founder Jamie Tisch. “This event raises critical funds and awareness for a cause that means so much to all of us.”
Actress and New York Times bestselling author Demi Moore will soon be seen in Paramount+’s upcoming drama 'Landman' from Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace, in which she stars alongside Jon Hamm and Billy Bob Thornton. She can be seen most recently in the second season of 'Feud: Capote vs. The Swans', and will soon be seen in Coralie Fargeat’s body horror feature, 'The Substance', alongside Margaret Qualley.
