8 Celebrities Who Made It Big and Then Called It a Career (4 of 5)

Amanda Bynes

When you’re a 12-year-old girl and everybody pretty much tells you that you’re the second coming of the late, legendary comedienne Gilda Radner, one of two things will happen: the prophecy comes to fruition or you get caught starting a fire on some random person’s driveway after a mental breakdown. Sadly, the latter actually did happen back in 2013, and she’s been struggling with addiction and mental health issues ever since.

Taylor Lautner

When those silly teenage vampire Twilight movies came out, a debate raged: are you on Team Bloodsucker (Robert Pattinson) or Team Wolfboy (Taylor Lautner)? At the age of 18, the world seemed to be Lautner’s oyster. After all, thanks to the success of the movies he had become the highest-paid teenager in Hollywood. But his star faded right after the trilogy ended. According to some reports, he was asking for more money than studios believed he was worth, and his run was over. In 2022, he married a nurse from California named Taylor Dome, and, yes, she did change her last name to Lautner. Things must get super confusing for the IRS when they file joint taxes!
