30 famous people who fell into oblivion

Melissa joan hart

Who does not remember the series Sabrina, things of witches ? Its protagonist was a star at that time but later, it was never known again.

Eva Santolaria

She was Valle in Compañeros and along with Quimi (Antonio Hortelano) she starred in the most famous romance -real and fictional- of the time. The series, like all, came to an end and their relationship as well. Then it appeared in 7 lives but little by little, we have forgotten about it.

Alicia silverstone

After Clueless ( Off the Wave in Spain), Alicia earned a place of honor in Hollywood but it didn't last long. Her career was not that long and today few remember her.

Macaulay Culkin

He is the quintessential child prodigy. His roles in Alone at home and My girl made him a star before he reached adolescence, but he did not know how to manage success and ended up away from the spotlight.

Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar

He was one of the teen hotshots of the early 2000s and starred in several iconic films of the genre. She was the mythical Buffy the Vampire Slayer and now she is dedicated to putting her voice to cartoon series. Little else is known about these two actors …

Josh harnett

He was one of the handsome boys of the 2000s and after Pearl Harbor it seemed his career was going from strength to strength, but no. He resurfaced a few years ago thanks to his role in Penny Dreadful but the series ended and we lost track of him again.

Minnie driver

She was nominated for an Oscar in 1997 thanks to her performance in The Indomitable Will Hunting and although she has continued working, her roles have never had such an impact among the general public as that.

Alfonso Ribeiro

Another of the stars who triumphed in the shadow of Will Smith in The Prince of Bell-Air and who little by little fell into oblivion. A few years ago he "revived" for the American public thanks to his version of Look who is dancing , a program that in the end, won.

Lidia San Jose

The memory of the public is short and that has served the actress to parody herself in Paquita Salas , her return to television after being 'the girl' of At eleven at home.

Alyssa Milano

After Charmed, he tried to carry out some television projects but did not achieve the success he expected, a bit the same has happened to the rest of his witch sisters, who for one reason or another have not returned to have leading roles.

Eliza dushku

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Doll House, True Calling .. . They were the series with which her career seemed to have taken off but there it stayed.

Josh radnor

We had nine seasons pending of his love life in How I Met Your Mother , but once we discovered who the mother of his children was, our interest in him seemed to wane.

Tatyana ali

Do you remember cousin Ashley from The Prince of Bell-Air ? Although she makes sporadic appearances in American series and TV movies, we heard little about her … Despite this, this year she has a couple of premieres planned so, who knows … will we witness the resurgence of her career?

David hasselhoff

It is impossible that we forget about him because he starred in two of the most mythical series of all time: The Baywatch and The Fantastic Car , but since they were finished he has remained for cameos and revivals of the time.

Michael Vartan

After Alias, many thought that he would become quite a big screen heartthrob. Nothing could be further from the truth. He has starred in a couple of famous films such as The Groom's Mother , with Jennifer Lopez, and Colombiana , with Zoe Saldana, but little else …

Christina Ricci

Her roles in Casper and The Adams Family elevated her as an icon but the general public forgot about her. Now she has returned to television thanks to the Amazon series It all began with her in which she plays Zelda Fitzgerald. We will have to wait to see if she is known again after this role.

Lucy Lawless

She was Xena, the warrior princess , a true lesbian icon who saw her career go no further. Years later she had an important role in Spartacus that made us remember her again but after her death in fiction … it was never known again.

Taylor momsen

Actress, singer … for a while it seemed that this girl was destined to take over the world but she left Gossip Girl to succeed with her music group and soon disappeared from the media.

Meg ryan

During the 80s and 90s she was one of the most sought-after actresses. His roles in When Harry Met Sally and You Got an Email caused the whole world to fall at his feet. Maybe it was because of age or because the surgery got out of hand but we haven't heard from it for a long time.

Mischa barton

She was a mass idol while playing Marisa Cooper on The OC but wanted to leave the series and practically ended her career there.

James van der beek

It seems incredible but of all the main cast of Dawson Grows, its protagonist has been the one who has had the worst luck. He has played a role in little-known series, some even playing himself, but nobody remembers him anymore.

Adam Sandler

He was one of the favorite guys in Hollywood for a few years, everyone laughed with him, but at some point he lost the spark and the public forgot about him.

Matthew broderick

If it weren't because he usually accompanies Sarah Jessica Parker, his wife, to the premieres in which she stars, we wouldn't even remember the one who once played Inspector Gadget in the movies.

Alanis Morissette

The 90s were hers, her songs triumphed in style and she even made a cameo in Sex and the City, but nobody remembers her anymore except when she turns on the radio and one of her old songs plays.

Hilary Duff

Child prodigy and singer, she could have followed in the footsteps of Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus but no, she was a mother and preferred to leave her career in the background. She has participated in the series Younger although you will surely remember her as Lizzy McGuire.

Dianna agron

She was Lea Michele's enemy on Glee, but her appearances on the series became more and more spaced. She made a movie but has not achieved the success of her partner.

Ashlee simpson

Living in the shadow of his sister, singer Jessica Simpson, is not easy. Ashlee tried to develop a singing career but it didn't go too well.

Sarah Chalke

The same thing happened to this actress. He had a starring role in Scrubs and then appeared in a season of How I Met Your Mother , then it was as if he had disappeared.

Lindsay Lohan

Another of many child stars who are left without a career after several scandals. Lindsay has starred in dozens and there came a time when no one wanted to make movies with her.

Natalie Imbruglia

The singer was the victim of what is known as One Hit Wonder, that is, a single hit artist. Surely you remember the great song Torn and his legendary video clip but no other song of his reached the success of this one and inevitably we forget about it.

There are many actors and singers who for years fill our screens and are on everyone's lips. However, there comes a time when they fade away and we don't hear from them again for years. If you have also ever wondered what happened to that girl from that series or that handsome actor who stopped making movies, here is the answer.

Famous people you didn't remember

There are examples in pairs. Do you remember The OC ? That series about posh California teenagers who are revolutionized by the arrival of a manual 'bad guy' in the neighborhood. Mischa Barton , also known as Marissa Cooper, was the big star of the series but decided to leave with an ending that left fans with a bad taste in their mouths . Her career ended at that moment and that of all her companions, she continued. Something similar happened with the cast of Dawson Grows , all, except its protagonist, James Van Der Beek, have successful careers and of him, nobody remembers.

The case of the singers Natalie Imbruglia and Alanis Morissette is also quite striking. The first was a clear case of One Hit Wonder; the second, was quite successful at the time but no one remembers his songs anymore except when he turns on the radio and comes across some of the old fluff.

Other promises were Josh Harnett, Josh Radnor (from How I Met Your Mother ), Freddie Prinze Jr. or Matthew Broderick. It seemed that they were going to be the most and now we only remember the last one and because from time to time he accompanies his famous wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, to a premiere.

The child prodigies are also others who usually fall into oblivion as a bit mislead. Lindsay Lohan, Macaulay Culkin, Hilary Duff … could be on the sites of Selena Gomez or Miley Cyrus, but nobody remembers them except for the scandals they have starred in.
