Who doesn’t love a comeback, Slackers?
Many huge stars of the 80's & 90's had their careers stalled at some point. Some due to substance abuse. Some had legal issues. Others just made poor business decisions. While for many, Hollywood just no longer viewed them as bankable stars.
One example is Winona Ryder. Ms. Ryder was one of the most popular and successful stars of the late 80’s and early 90’s. But after an arrest for shoplifting, her career came to a grinding halt. After year of smaller roles, she one again became a big time star with her role as Joyce on Stranger Things.
After amassing huge debts, both with private creditors and the IRS, Nicolas Cage set off to pay these debts off - by taking every single role that came his way. It’s actually really respectable that he just went to work, reputation be damned. But after paying off those debts, Mr. Cage is back to taking a more discerning approach to his roles. So, while he never really went away, he somehow made a comeback within an active career!
These are just two example of Hollywood comebacks - take a listen to hear them all!
