Long before Taylor Momsen’s fame from her role as Jenny Humphrey on “Gossip Girl,” she played Cindy Lou in 2000s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”
However, in 2011, she retired from acting to focus on her rock band “The Pretty Reckless” in which she is the lead singer and frontwoman.
Rip Torn
Born as Elmore Rual Torn Jr., it's a good thing that he took on the more fitting stage name as Rip Torn. He had a very celebrated career, including multiple wins and nominations and timeless performances. He retired from acting after being arrested in 2010.
He had several charges made against him which included first-degree burglary and third-degree criminal mischief. Following the incident, he has seldom appeared in films, popping up here and there in C-grade films.
Shelley Duvall
Shelley Duvall established herself as one of the best actresses of her time. She delivered sensational performances one after another, receiving critical acclaim for her presentations of various eccentric characters. Recalling her harrowing role as Wendy Torrance in the 1980 horror film, "The Shining," is enough to give even the toughest person goosebumps.
Since 2002, she has retired both from acting and from the public eye, and nobody really knew what happened to the star. In 2016, she appeared on Dr. Phil where she shared her struggles with mental illness.
Josh Saviano
Josh Saviano is most notable for his role as Paul Pfeiffer on the hit 90s TV show "The Wonder Years."
Following the role, he retired from acting. There was a rumor circulating that he grew up to be Marilyn Manson, but his life turned out a little less exciting but nonetheless impressive- he graduated from Yale University and became a lawyer.
Debra Winger
Debra Winger is one of the most successful actresses of the 80s. She is most recognized for her roles in "An Officer and a Gentleman," "Tears of Endearment," and "Shadowlands," and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for each film.
Following her success, she decided to take a break from film, a move she had been anticipating for years. During the break, she didn't leave the acting world completely behind her and switched over to the theater. In the last two decades, she has returned to film and television quite sparingly, appearing in things here and there.
