What happened to......??

Here's another actress whose career fizzed somewhat, after being in a few big or big-ish movies in the '80s and early '90s: Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.
She was in Scarface, The Colour of Money, The Abyss, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves and Class Action (with Gene Hackman). Since 1992, the only film she's been in that made any money was Perfect Storm.

I assume it's a familiar scenario: they get a bit older, maybe have kids, and probably aren't great enough actors to keep getting top roles as they age.

I remember last seeing her as the new Lt [or whatever rank she was] in the final season of L&O : Criminal Intent,which is probably 4-5 years ago now

Brendan Fraser - Cant remember anything from him since the last mummy movie. I liked the first 2.
Rose McGowan (popped up on IMDB for some reason)
Marylin Manson (only thought of him coz of McGowan, the s**t we remember)
Freddie Prinze Jnr - No big loss I guess.

Ok, Ricardo Tubbs (forget the actors name) from Miami Vice. Edward James and Don Johnson continued to find work and the occasional movie role, but aside from voice work in GTA Vice City (nothing to sneeze at), seems like nothing at all

Phillip Michael Thomas!

From Wikipedia:

Thomas coined the acronym "EGOT", meaning "Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony", in reference to his plans for winning all four. He has not, as yet, been nominated for any of these awards, but has received a People's Choice Award and a Golden Globe nomination.

Lol.

So nothing then?

He's a very insecure individual with his head in the clouds. He got paid $250,000 US for the whole trilogy and bitched about how little money that was.

That does seem rather low, considering he would've been top 3 for screen time after the first movie, with Frodo and Aragorn.

250k for 3 years work, after tax... Yeah. Low balled.

Ally Sheedy was kinda big in the '80s, but hasn't done anything big for about 20 years

Ha, I didn't watch all of it.

Just enough to get over the line hey? I know the scene that did it too. Got me in my teens as well.

ha ha, Nah, I only saw a little bit. I think I've only seen it once, so I'm not too familiar with it.
I'm not proud of this, but I know her more from St Elmo's Fire

You are starting to bring shame to your family. But you're right, she's done bugger all since the 80's. The mid 80's were her halcyon days.

War Games 1983
Breakfast Club 1985
St Elmo's Fire 1985
Short Circuit 1986

Thx IMDb

Gord! Short Circuit quadrupled its budget (only 9 million) at the box office. ha

The 1994 film Muriel's Wedding had a talented cast of young female actresses in major roles.

Toni Collette (Muriel) and Rachel Griffiths (Rhonda) became big stars both in Australia and overseas, while Sophie Lee (Tanya) was already well-known at the time and still is today. Of Tanya's friends, Roz Hammond who played the dim-witted Cheryl has enjoyed a great career in comedy, while Pippa Grandison who played the adulterous Nicole (I can't hear the song 'Waterloo' without imagining the cat fight scene from this film) has had roles on TV and in movies, but has mainly concentrated on musical theatre. However, Tanya had a fourth friend named Janine, played by Belinda Jarrett who had a large role on Home and Away at the time.

Belinda Jarrett's IMDB page lists no credits after Muriel's Wedding, and she has no Wikipedia page. Does anyone know what happened to Belinda Jarrett, who seemed to vanish into obscurity after this film?

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - was cool around 2000-01, where is she now?

I think she went on to be a judge on a British music reality show,which obviously means her career is officially DEAD

She had a few brief but awesome appearances in Psych as a serial killer.

She's probably making more money doing that than she ever has making music TBH.

Seems she's in some comedy called Togetherness
She did pop up in an ep of 2.5 Men last season and she may appear in the final ever ep this week.
