Not only can a good memorable position quickly become a victory, but also a curse that is hard to get rid of.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sarah Michelle Gellar was born on April 14, 1977, in New York City. She went to Professional Children’s School in New York City and finished third in a regional figure skating competition in New York State. Sarah made her first appearance on television in the 1983 film An Invasion Of Privacy. She went on to work in film, landing a part in All My Children for which she won an Emmy for Younger Leading Actress. Sarah, on the other hand, is best known for her role as Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s main character.
Drew Barrymore, The 90’S Bad-Girl And Executive Producer
Drew Barrymore’s appearance in E.T: The Extraterrestrial captivated viewers when she was seven years old. Drew, on the other hand, was no longer a sweet seven-year-old girl by the 1990s. In the early 1990s, she developed a bad-girl reputation thanks to a series of films such as Poison Ivy and Guncrazy. Drew’s reputation had changed by 1995 when she founded Flower Films, her own production company. With her roles in The Wedding Singer and Ever After, she established herself as a strong romantic leading lady by 1998. Drew rose to prominence as a director after executive producing Never Been Kissed and producing and starring in Charlie’s Angels.
Melissa Joan Hart Explains It All
After being cast as the lead in the Nickelodeon television series Clarissa Explains It All, Melissa Joan Hart’s life was forever changed. Melissa returned to her roots in New York, where she attended New York University after the show ended in 1994 after five seasons and 65 episodes. She was cast as the lead in another television series, Sabrina The Teenage Witch, two years later, which lasted seven seasons and 156 episodes.
Jennifer Grey
Dirty Dancing, 1987
Dirty Dancing has become a truly iconic film, and so has Jennifer Grey’s main character. It seemed like an ideal start to a career, but the actress didn’t really become popular.
You may have seen her on the screen since 1987, for instance, in the Friends and House M.D. series. Due to a nose job, you may not remember her. “I went into the operating room a celebrity and came out a nobody,” Grey shared.
Edward Furlong
Terminator 2: Judgment Day, 1991
In his youth, in the Terminator sequel, Edward Furlong successfully played John Connor. For the part, he received an MTV Movie Award and a Saturn Award. After that, he starred in other notable movies with Edward Norton and Detroit Rock City, such as American History X.
But the actor’s career went into decline in the 2000s and he got into drugs and alcohol. With the role of the adult John Connor in Terminator 3: Rise of the Robots, everything may have changed, but Furlong was not included in the project.
Robert Patrick
Terminator 2: Judgment Day, 1991
Robert Patrick, who gorgeously played the “bad” Terminator, T-1000, is another star of James Cameron’s blockbuster.
Robert Patrick continues to act in films and has acted in over 100 as of today, including Bridge to Terabithia and Walk the Line. But even, when we see him on the television, “Ah! The liquid terminator!” we normally exclaim.
Kirsten Dunst A Star On Both The Big Screen And The Little Screen
Kirsten Dunst’s breakthrough appearance in the 1994 film Interview With The Vampire came when she was just eleven years old. Kirsten was also nominated for an MTV Movie Award for her breakthrough performance in that film. Kirsten went on to appear in a number of other famous films during the 1990s, including Little Women, Jumanji, and Wag The Dog. With roles in The Virgin Suicides and Spider-Man, she continued her popularity from the 1990s into the early 2000s.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
It Takes Two, 1995
20 years ago, in the children’s movie It Takes Two, the entire world adored them. New York Minute was their last joint film in 2004, which was expected to pave the way for the grown-up film world, but this did not happen and their acting career almost ended.
But it was totally made by Ashley and Mary-Kate as designers. By the way, the Olsen sisters are the most famous twins on the planet at the moment. Fun fact: they have a younger sister too, Elizabeth, who is now conquering Hollywood!
Jason Mewes
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, 2001
In the well-known films about Jay and Silent Bob’s adventures, this guy played Jay.
Turns out, because of his friend, director Kevin Smith, Mewes got into the cinema (the one that played Bob). In his films, including Dogma and Clerks, he tried to save Mewes from drug abuse and invited him to act. Jason also worked in movies for other directors, but Jay still remained silly to all.
Carrie-Anne Moss
The Matrix, 1999
Carrie-Anne Moss was in high demand after The Matrix trilogy, and you may have seen her in the Memento and Chocolat movies. But it turned out that the role of a tough hacker girl was so strong and visible that it was difficult to beat. Hopefully, Moss would manage to do so someday.
To hide from the paparazzi, some actors wear sunglasses. Moss said she stopped doing that because she was known to the
Mark Hamill
Three episodes of the Star Wars saga, 1977—1983
A cruel joke with the actor also played the super famous role of Luke Skywalker: directors didn’t want to offer him main roles because they saw him solely from the intergalactic saga as a Jedi. Hamill fell into fear and came to grips with secondary functions.
It was difficult for many actors who acted in sensational franchises to get rid of the stigma that stuck to them.
Jake Lloyd
Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, 1999
Mark’s Star Wars colleague was also hated for his famous role.
The actor said, “My classmates picked on me: they mimicked the sound of a lightsaber every time they saw me. It was terrible. My school life turned into hell. I also had to give 60 interviews a day.”
Lloyd’s later years weren’t great: he had trouble with his mental health and the police.
Mischa Barton
The O.C., 2003—2007
A star from The O.C. It became extremely famous instantly, but then something went wrong. Barton also developed addictions that made it much more difficult to make her way to fame.
Barton also continues to work in films to date. She’s just 31 years old, too, so we just want to believe that she’s going to fix her issues and that her best roles are always ahead of her.
Wesley Snipes
Blade, 1998
Blade, played by Wesley Snipes, is another vampire warrior. It seems the actor has vanished. It turns out that he began to conceal his income in 1999, was sued as a malicious default, and was sentenced to three years in jail.
He was released in 2013 and, we’re glad to say, he kept on acting in films.
Macaulay Culkin
Home Alone, 1990
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, 1992
Without Macaulay Culkin, the list of actors cast into oblivion would be incomplete. He became one of the most successful child actors after Home Alone. He was cast willingly and appeared in Black or White, the music video for Michael Jackson.
When negotiating his son’s contracts, the actor’s father made the producers hire his other children too. As Culkin stopped getting parts, this was a mistake.
