  Celebrities who pack up the business, and disappear into obscurity.
  
  There are two, who I miss.
  
  Michelle Meyrink, who played Jordan Cochran in Real Genius.
  
  and
  
  Laurie Zimmer, who played Leigh in Assault on Precinct 13.
  
  I never tire of watching either of those movies.

  
  I've never heard of them.

  It happens. Agents can't keep them in work. Things move on. They need to do something to keep a roof over their heads.

  Nor me.
  
  Is a 'celebrity' these days 'someone who was in a film once?'
  
  Edit: 'several times' it appears. Michelle whatsername has 'given up acting' to be a zen buddhist, so that's one mystery cleared up.
  
  Edit, edit: Zimmer also gave up acting, to become a teacher. Thanks google!

  It wasn't a mystery. I knew what happened to her.
  
  It's just a bit sad, when good actors/actresses quit the industry.

  Don't belittle them by calling them celebrities - they are/were actors.

  Lane Garrison from Prison Break - went off the rails, then went off the road. Killed a 17yo passenger in his car, served some jail time (ironic!), and is back in nick for assault.

  What's wrong with someone changing profession. Some might just have made loads of money and can't be bothered anymore, some might just not enjoy it and some maybe weren't good enough. Not sure why so many people think the celeb lifestyle is the be all and end all.

  I have the utmost respect for people who can do this, or rather have to do this. It must take some adjusting.

  Rick Moranis. His wife died and he left the showbiz scene to bring up his kids. Now they're older I think he's started writing some comedy again.

  Some only use acting as a means to an end.

  What about John Darwin?
  
  He 'disappeared' only to come back from the dead a few years later and became a 'celebrity' with his loving wife.
