We talk often about guys like Sam Worthington, Jai Courtney and Taylor Kitsch, but what are some girls primed to be the next big thing who fizzled out?

Piper Perabo comes to mind. Everyone thought she'd be big after Coyote Ugly.

>>214806841
Her Covert Affairs show was all right.

I liked her teen, Sapphic drama in a boarding school. Great use of the violent femme. Only way of the gun trailer and the crow soundtrack have used them in a great way. They made a cameo on Sabrina but dont remember if they ever played.

No actress ever had a harder failed push than Katherine Heigl
The universe tried to force her to become an A lister and she said "No!"

Forgetting someone?
>>
>>214807550
That's why she was so good in The Last Seduction. She wasn't acting, she was simply being herself.

She screamed "no" over and over again. She trashed every project she worked on.

>>214806841
Gretchen Mol. She showed up out of nowhere in big movies and on the Vanity Fair cover and kinda sputtered out fast. She's very beautiful and sexy, even now. So hot in Boardwalk Empire and her performance was one of the best in the show, and that show was STACKED with great actors.

Piper Perabo is a terrible name for an actress

> Heigl was pushed by everybody for some reason.

She wasn’t pushed. She actually had A liar potential but was a nightmare on set that nobody wanted to work with her. I don’t like Judd Apatow but you have to be pretty retarded to shit on him and the movie that gave you your big break.
>>
Julia Ormond is the one that still gets me. She was the “it” girl in the late 90s. First Knight, Legends of The Fall, remake of Sabrina with Harrison Ford
>>
>>214811495
She was hot in that 20 minute rape scene in the baby of macon
>>
>>214806841
It will never not be funny to me that Chloe Grace Moretz was on the fast track to becoming a huge star and then lost it all cause... She peaked sexually at like age 15. And it was fast too. Major blockbusters to straight-to-Redbox in a matter of years.
>>
>>214808949
Nah it's cause she's fucking nuts. Sexually abused, her father died early, Disney actor trauma. Then she directed a Porn and started a cannabis business. What a weirdo.
>>
>>214807550
She was actually doing some real life femme fatale shit.
>Fiorentino later had a relationship with Los Angeles private investigator Anthony Pellicano, in the period leading to his 2008 trial and conviction, in Los Angeles, on multiple felony charges. While Pellicano was being investigated, Fiorentino also dated former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Mark Rossini, which law enforcement officials said was her attempt to assist Pellicano's defense. According to prosecutors, Fiorentino told Rossini that she was researching a screenplay based on Pellicano's case. Rossini conducted searches of government computers for information related to the case and passed the results to Fiorentino, who then handed the files over to Pellicano's lawyers in a failed effort to help Pellicano avoid a 15-year prison sentence. Rossini pleaded guilty to illegally accessing FBI computers and resigned from the FBI.

She's an absolutely terrible actress. No I don't want you to start listing out random actresses yo don't like, you need at least basic competency or you have a shelf life based entirely on looks, and her looks were nothing special.

Jannetty comes from wrestling, named for Marty Jannetty. He was part of a successful tag team with Shawn Michaels called The Rockers in the mid 80s to early 90s. In the early 90s, the WWF decided to break the team up, with Shawn Michaels turning on Jannetty in a very famous segment where he threw him through the window of an interview set and became a wrestling villain. Shawn Michaels went on to become one of wrestling's biggest stars of the 90s and WWF's top star within a couple of years. Marty Jannetty...did not. It wasn't that surprising as Michaels was more charismatic and had a much better look, even though both were good at wrestling.

It's a little unfair to Jannetty, as he had a reasonably respectable midcard career for a while afterward, it wasn't like he just vanished immediately. However, being in the shadow of Shawn Michaels caused "The Jannetty" to stick as a term for the unsuccessful member of a broken up team whose former teammate went on to stardom. Some teams break up and produce multiple stars, so it doesn't always apply, but often there's one that flounders.

So if you see young co-stars in a film or a TV show, and one of them goes on to be a massive star and the other goes nowhere, there's an example.

I had a massive crush on her. But she gave me a cnc/rape fetish.

She was just being pushed by her billionaire father.

>>214813297
She was in a load of notable things in the mid 2010s as a result, and very much pushed as the next big thing.

She's not likeable lol sometimes you have an actor/actress that is good but not likeable. This is where people always miss the point when they kvetch about viewers hating Skylar in BB even though her character is sympathetic from a writing standpoint. It's purely cause Gunn, whilst a good actress, is not a likeable one. Whereas people loved the complicit morally bankrupt from the get go Carmela Soprano because Falco is likeable.
>>
>>214813241
Based explainer! Godspeed to you.

>>214808844
She was never going to be an A lister. No acting talent and a weird, fame hungry personality that I imagine makes her insufferable to work with.

I don't really recall Kruger ever being pushed very hard. She was an unknown in Troy and was just in this and that afterward, never a big lead actress.

Didn't she fall into drugs and alcoholism or some shit?

Off the top of my head: that MK Ultra movie with Jesse Eissenberg, lots of indie films and that movie about Alzheimer's Julianne Moore won an oscar for. I don't really follow her career but I keep seeing her randomly in various projects

>>214815458
Affleck is anything but a failure in career terms, great projects as writer director and actor, the problem is he's just smart enough to realise how corosive Hollywood and fame are to the soul and not principled enough to let it go and go and live a in log cabin or someting. You can tell, listening to his interviews and audio commentaries, he doesn't buy the bullshit completely but he's addicted to it all the same. This kind of contradiction drives self-destructiveness by cultivating inner contempt.
