00:00Hey, hello and welcome to WatchMojo Español, I am Ghi, and today we will analyze which
00:09are the most prominent celebrities who strayed from the spotlight after facing
00:14events that altered their lives and escaped their control.
00:18Why quit acting?
00:20It was important for my recovery at the time.
00:22It represented my mom living vicariously through me.
00:25Mina Subari Mina Subari jumped to fame at the end of
00:29the 90s and early 2000s with outstanding performances in American Beauty and the American Pie franchise.
00:36Not bad, Chris.
00:38Really?
00:40Thanks, Heather, right?
00:44Yeah.
00:45But, although it seemed that she was about to reach the stars, she disappeared from the
00:50spotlight at the end of the decade.
00:52The reason was clear in 2021, when she published her memoirs, The Great Peace.
00:58You described in your memoir as living a double life.
01:01I was just like, uh, catapulted.
01:05Into fame.
01:06I didn't even really know what fame was.
01:09It wasn't something that I'd ever wanted for myself.
01:13In this, she revealed that she had suffered the effects of sexual assault and a substance
01:18use disorder.
01:20At the height of her fame in Hollywood, she was trapped in an emotionally toxic relationship
01:25and used drugs to overcome it.
01:29These problems profoundly affected her career and, unfortunately, they prevented her from
01:33developing all her potential in Hollywood.
01:37I had to learn to trust in myself, trust in the process.
01:42I had to do the work to listen, to open myself up.
01:47Sly Stone.
01:48Sly Stone, the genius of Sly and the Family Stone, helped pave the way for funk music.
02:03During the 60s, the group harvested a series of hits among the top ten, which launched
02:08Stone to fame, and soon gave itself the great life in Beverly Hills.
02:14By the 80s, the band had basically disintegrated, and Sly Stone himself was occasionally seen
02:30offstage, as in this 1983 court appearance on a cocaine possession charge.
02:38Sly Stone was forced to retire.
02:41Unfortunately, things only got worse.
02:45In 2009, he had gone from living in a mansion to staying in cheap hotels, and finally ended up
02:52living in his car.
02:54In 2011, he made a comeback with his second album as a soloist, I'm Back, Family and
03:00Friends.
03:01Jeannette McCurdy.
03:03At her best, Jeannette McCurdy was one of the most recognizable children's actresses
03:07on television, thanks to her role as Sam Puckett in iCarly and Sammy Catt in Nickelodeon.
03:24But after the latter ended, McCurdy apparently disappeared from the face of the earth.
03:31She was actually dealing with the trauma inflicted by her mother, who pushed her to act and
03:37controlled her life with an iron fist.
03:53She allegedly subjected her daughter to sexual and emotional abuse, and helped her develop
03:59eating disorders.
04:02After her mother's death in 2013, she took a break from acting, and finally
04:07completely withdrew from the industry.
04:10She spoke honestly about her experience in her memoir, I'm Glad My Mother's Dead,
04:15which was a sales success in 2022.
04:31Elisa Dushku.
04:32A quick look at the filmography of this actress reveals that she has not starred in any
04:37movie or television series since 2017.
04:51This is especially surprising since she had a promising career in the late 90s
04:57and in the 2000s, due to her role as Faith in The Buffyverse.
05:01Dushku's disappearance was due to an incident on the set of the CBS legal drama Ball.
05:11In 2017 she got what she expected to be a regular role, but was fired after only
05:17three episodes.
05:20Apparently, this happened because she told the producers that she was being sexually harassed
05:25by the main actor, Michael Wadderley.
05:28After these revelations, CBS paid her a $9.5 million deal, the estimated salary she would
05:35have earned if she had stayed in the series.
05:54Amanda Bynes.
05:55For anyone who has grown up watching Nickelodeon, Amanda Bynes is a name that sounds quite
06:01familiar to her.
06:02And she broke with the All That series before getting her own show, The Amanda Show.
06:13At one point it seemed that she had managed to elude the curse of the child star and passed
06:18without problems to mature roles, with movies like Hairspray and ECA.
06:24However, in 2010 she announced that she would take an indefinite break from acting.
06:38What followed was a whirlwind of legal problems, mostly related to the consumption of substances.
06:45In 2013, her parents put her under guardianship.
06:49Although later she stopped consuming drugs and announced an expected return to acting,
06:54she did not.
06:55Thora Birch.
06:56Thora Birch was in her day the personification of the antisocial teenager, with her performances
07:03in the acclaimed movies American Beauty and Ghost World.
07:18These roles earned her very positive reviews and made her a first-rate actress.
07:24But as the years went by, she grew further and further away from the spotlight, largely
07:29because of her father and then-representative.
07:32Her bad behavior with the cast and crew of the projects cost her job opportunities,
07:39including a production of Broadway by Dracula, from which she was fired a few days before
07:44the premiere.
07:46After a self-imposed break during which she graduated in legal studies, Birch returned
07:51to acting, and little by little she is recovering her lost status.
07:56Jet Li.
07:57It is difficult to imagine modern Chinese and Hong Kong cinema without Jet Li.
08:06The legend of martial arts revitalized wuxia cinema in the industry and achieved a successful
08:11step to Hollywood in the late 90s.
08:15Although it dominated action cinema for years, its screen appearances drastically decreased
08:20from the beginning of the 2010s.
08:24Then rumors began to circulate that he had died.
08:39In reality, Li was impaired by hyperthyroidism, a disease that caused him to lose weight
08:44and fatigue, which made his work even more difficult as an action star.
08:50This, in addition to his focus on philanthropy, kept Li away from the spotlight for most
08:56of the decade.
08:57However, he returned to Hollywood in 2020, as Emperor of China in Mulan by Disney.
09:19Brendan Fraser.
09:21In 2023, Brendan Fraser won his first Oscar for his performance in The Whale.
09:36This was the culmination of a highly-publicized return of the actor after years of relative
09:41inactivity.
09:42In the late 90s and early 2000s, Fraser was practically the guy Hollywood
09:48used for the super-adventure productions, but at the end of that time, his face had
09:54begun to wane for various reasons.
10:12Fraser not only went through a bitter divorce, but also lost his mother and suffered several
10:18health problems derived from his previous work as a double risk.
10:22To top it all off, he was supposedly included on a blacklist after accusing the ex-president
10:28of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association of sexual assault.
10:32In spite of everything, he achieved an epic return, affectionately nicknamed the Brennaissance.
10:51Rick Moranis.
10:53Canadian actor Rick Moranis was a comic force during the 80s, starring
11:00Ghostbusters and Honey I Shrunk the Kids.
11:08In 1986 he married makeup designer Anne Belsky, but tragically died of cancer
11:14five years later, and left him alone to raise his two children.
11:20Although Moranis appeared in a few more movies, it was very difficult for him to combine paternity
11:24with the demands of Hollywood.
11:27As a result, in 1997 he took a break from acting and stopped appearing in live-action projects.
11:34In 2020 it was known that he would return to the big screen in a sequel to Honey I Shrunk the Kids,
11:40but the project was suspended indefinitely.

12:10Now, let's go to the end.
12:13Bridget Fonda.
12:14Bridget Fonda grew up in the legendary dynasty of Fonda actors,
12:19so she had some big shoes to fill.
12:27It's not a saying, it's true.
12:28Could you be a little more condescending? Because I'm not real great with subtlety.
12:31For a while, she seemed to be up to the challenge.
12:35In the late 80s and 90s, Fonda got actress roles everywhere,
12:41even in notable films like The Godfather Part III and Jackie Brown.
12:45Really?
12:48Hi.
12:49Look at her.
12:50I'm impressed.
12:51In 2003, she was going to join the cast of the legal series The Practice
12:55for a recurring role, but a serious car accident a few weeks before the shoot
13:00left her with a fractured back.
13:03Although she recovered completely,
13:05that incident seemed to close the curtain on her acting career.
13:09Shortly after, she married composer Danny Elfman
13:12and since then has maintained a low profile.
13:15Any chance that you make a move back?
13:17I don't think so.
13:19It's too nice being a civilian.
13:21What other tragic situations have moved the famous from the spotlight?
