25 Celebs That Successfully Pulled Off A Disappearing Act
After the Matrix movies, everyone was so impressed by Carrie-Ann Moss, who played the role of Trinity, and we expected to see much more of her on-screen. However, she virtually disappeared from the media after she decided to take a step back from her career to move her family to a remote farm and be a more present mom. She has recently chosen a few select appearances but other than that has been pretty low-key about her public persona.
Meanwhile, others who seemed on track to superstardom have chosen to ditch the pressures of fame and Hollywood altogether. These famous faces have taken a leave of absence from the limelight for one reason or another over the years, so much so that they’ve been all but forgotten. Scroll below to read and reminisce about which popular stars have almost been wiped out of existence by their lack of public visibility, according to Netizens.

Bobbie Gentry.
She’s still alive, but she stepped out of the spotlight at the height of her career and after a couple of huge hit songs.
She sang Ode to Billy Joe and Fancy.
But she won’t interview. She won’t talk about her career.

Kid from Dick Tracy, Peter Pan’s son in Hook, dude was everywhere in the 90s.
Last I know of him he did the smart thing and cashed out for a normal life.
#8
David Caruso. Good riddance. He can’t act. He always looks like he’s trying to hold in a fart. His voice is fingernails on a blackboard.
#9
Bridget Fonda.
Sownd_Rum : A good chance Harvey Weinstein ruined her career.
#10
Jon Heder
I thought he was going to be a huge star.
But I heard he sticks to smaller roles.

Besides Bryan Cranston, like all the cast of Malcom in the Middle.
#12
For me its Martin Lawrence. I feel like I used to see him everywhere but I don’t know what he’s up to nowadays.
#13
Action star Michael Dudikoff. Starred in the American Ninja movies in the 80’s. Was on track to be as big as the other heros like Arnold, Van Damme and Stallone but faded away.

Danny Lloyd who played Danny Torrance in the Shining only acted in one other small role. He’s a professor in Kentucky now.

Meg Ryan.
alexmo210 : Sad that I think of her I remember When Harry Met Sally/breakup with Dennis Quaid/bad plastic surgery. She was It for a while.

Joe Torres, the guy who played Danny on the old show “Hey Dude!” on Nickelodeon.
Literally no one can find him.

#22
The guy who played Mitch Kramer in Dazed in Confused.
Also the girl from Matilda and the Miracle on 34th Street remake.

Leelee Sobieski. She was a bit of a celebrity crush for me back in the day. From the look of her IMDb she’s barely been in anything for the last decade or so. Her last credited movie was a Turkish made for TV movie in 2018.
#24
Dolores Hart, she was on a movie with Elvis and in her way to the A list in Hollywood when she decided to join a monastic community an become a nun. There’s an HBO documentary about it named “God is the bigger Elvis”.

Josh Hartnett. I think he decided to outright quit acting?
Shanilou Perera
Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
