Demi Moore has opened up about a troubling incident from the set of 'A Few Good Men,' where a studio executive suggested adding a sex scene between her character and Tom Cruise's character, claiming it was necessary for her role as a woman in the film. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin defended Moore, rejecting the request and famously stating, 'women have purposes other than to sleep with Tom Cruise.'
