LINDSAY LOHAN
Even though Lindsay Lohan started young in the industry and may get homecourt advantage when it comes to winning roles, there is still this rampant issue among actors with regard to substance abuse. With her successful teenage films and chick flicks, Lindsay could have easily been so much more if not for this thing among stars. Now, Lohan just has got to find herself first and focus on getting better. Who knows one day we might just get her back on the screen better than ever. With her earnings from childhood, we have yet to hear of any bankruptcy threat yet. She might have had it on investment somewhere and get it to earn more for her to live off.
HOWARD DEAN
Howard Dean was a former governor who won fair and squares the crowd’s choice to be the democratic’s party nominated president in the year 2004. However, just because of one indiscriminate expression of he made during his speech, the people somehow got put off him. The blunder was captured by media and became the subject of ridicule of many people across the globe. He probably was humiliated by it to a degree that he decided of dropping his candidacy as he knew it affected his popularity so much. At the same time, it also became a big lesson for him to learn from.
MICHAEL RICHARDS
Michael Richards is a stand-up comedian who has achieved great success in the industry. Despite his steady career since 1979, he has somehow never learned what causes actors to flop or die in the field. So much so that he failed to observe how racist comments are easily disapproved by fans and even production companies alike. It was in 2006, in an incident in a comedy club where he was criticized for his stand-up routine. He failed to be a sport about it that he went to a degree of responding through a long, angry, racist speech that went public and forced him to take early retirement from comedy.
ROB LOWE
Brat Pack member and the teen idol from the ‘80s, Rob Lowe achieved so much in the industry. His successful career has so far earned him a Hollywood star proving the impact he was able to make in the industry. However, in 1988 the public got hold of his sex tape with a sixteen-year-old girl he only met at a night club. Despite his achievements and advocacies, the incident overshadowed them all and his tape became one of the first to be sold commercially. Since then, his teen idol image didn’t do so much. Good thing he had good skills in budgeting of all his earnings and was able to evade bankruptcy.
SUNG HYUN-AH
Sung Hyun-ah started her career from joining beauty pageants in Korea. She was second runner up in 1994 Miss Korea pageant where she proceeded to represent her country at the Miss International pageant in the same year. From then on, she rose in the career of being featured in films on credit roles of being sexy and strong. However, in 2002, the actress got into trouble when she was found using illegal drugs. This was also followed by a full album of nude photos of her which was taken against her and she was charged with prostitution. However, in 2014 she was proven innocent in the lower court.
PAULA DEEN
Known for her cooking show hosting, Paula Deen became quite the TV personality in the field. No matter how situational this choice was for her as she could be so much more in the industry, her anxiety disorder so early in life and in this career left her no choice but to focus on cooking show hosting. As cooking is the only way for her to work without leaving her house. After her divorce and being a single mom pushed her to show great money management skills as well as investment planning skills which later on led her to a new business venture of catering which later on led to starting a restaurant. From then on, as they say, is history. But the very main reason why she doesn’t have any cooking show anymore was because of her racist remarks she once said on air that led her to a court decision of cancellation of all her shows.
JEFFREY JONES
Jeffrey Jones is known for his acting career that started on stage before it even came to screen. He first started on this career in Minnesota where eventually he was moved to London and then to Broadway. Although stage acting maybe some kind of rush for him, he also enjoyed film and TV acting where he was fondly remembered for his credit roles in the movies, Amadeus, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and Deadwood. Despite his success in his career, in 2002, he got arrested for child pornography when he said to have hired a 14-year-old boy to pose nude for the pictures when he isn’t even a photographer. He was later put on probation and required to go through counseling.
EILEEN BOWMAN
Every big event or show always strive to start with a big production number, especially one like the Academy Awards. In 1989, Eileen Bowman was honoured of such opportunity to open the Awards show. However, no matter the honour it could have been to her, the 11-minute opening number that featured her was one referred to by many as cringeworthy. Bowman’s sequence involved her singing and dancing around the stage while dressed as Snow White. Not that it wasn’t anything, but to perform on stage in front of the industry’s biggest names should mean so much as an investment for the featured celebrity. That, Bowman failed to work out.
