With a name like hers, it seems like Jennifer Love Hewitt was destined for stardom. Hewitt is most recognized for playing Sarah Reeves Merrin on the Fox teen drama Party of Five from 1995-1999 and in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise. It’s safe to say that she was one of the hottest stars of the 90s.
However, her 90s fame came to a halt at the start of the 21 st century, and the actress hasn’t been on the big screen since 2012. Perhaps she is taking time to be a mommy to her two young children and a wife to her husband.
Burning Bridges
Heigl seemed to be relishing her position as an A-list star in 2007 when she took home an Emmy Award for "Grey's Anatomy" and starred in the hit comedy "Knocked Up." However, she then basically ruined her reputation when she pointed a finger at her directors and make some harsh statements about their projects.
Making these remarks burned some bridges for her and Heigl has not been on the radar since the romantic comedy "27 Dresses "in 2008. More recently, she has been cast in the leading role opposite Sarah Chalke and Ben Lawson for the Netflix show "Firefly Lane."
Super Gone
Jonah Hill has made quite an impressive physical transformation since his comedic roles in films like "Superbad," and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall.: He took home Oscar nominations for his supporting role in "Moneyball" and "The Wolf of Wall Street." For the last few years, Hill has appeared in minor roles and voice roles.
He will also have a minor role in "The Beach Bum" which will be released later this year. Additionally, he has plans to voice roles for "How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" and "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part." The media also went crazy in 2023 when controversial texts were released between him and an ex-girlfriend, and some have even called the star “canceled.” Yikes!!
Lost His Powers
Mike Myers may have played the very iconic voice of Shrek and of course, Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers franchise, but if anybody knows what he’s been up to since 2008’s awful The Love Guru, then I will be very impressed. Since you probably don’t know what he’s been up to, you are close to the right answer.
He hasn't been up to anything. After the terrible last movie he starred in, he was not able to bounce back to his once legendary reputation and so he took a long break for a decade after the movie failure. One can only hope that makes a grand comeback before it’s too late for him.
Meg's Meandering
Meg Ryan was America's favorite Sweetheart throughout the 90s and she starred in some iconic romantic comedies like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You've Got Mail. However, a number of movie failures caused her career to experience a decline.
She starred in some movies in the early 2000s, but the movies were not such great commercial successes and were not able to bump her career back to what it once was. Since then, she has acted in several indie films and has also tried her hand at directing. Maybe, just maybe, she may be back for good, though, since she was part of the cast of “What Happens Later,” a rom-com was scheduled to come out in 2023.
