Today's Blind Items - Gone But Not Forgotten

If you think about someone like Victoria Justice and how she went from work to no work, it is more about bad luck and just making some wrong decisions. You do get the sense she will be back though. One person though, who will probably not be making any time of comeback is this former A-/B+ list mostly movie actress who has been acting since childhood. I'm sure all of you know her name even if you can't pick her out of a lineup. She has some big hits to her name. Anyway, in the last three or four years, she managed to have affairs with two or three of the top money people in Hollywood. The wives found out about this and the word was sent out to not hire her for anything. I know, I know, the husbands should be just as much to blame, and that is where we get into part two of this. All of that pillow talk about very bad guys in Hollywood and what they have done to women, she passed along to anyone who would get it out to the media. So, basically she is double cursed right now. The only work she gets is slightly better than diet tea and it is only because she has language skills and can do some modeling and commercial work out of the country.

    1. If they would have enforced the rule they had on the books at the onset of Kap trying tonget released, this would have been a non issue

  4. @sandybrook - I'm from Boston and so is Eliza. A few of my friends did some small-time videography and production work back in the day and had the chance to meet her when a local charity hired her for talent and my friends to do the producing. They said she was a super sweet gal and when they picked her up at her house, she was hungover from the night before but was making light of it and not a diva at all. I know she has a bad rap after the Rick Fox debacle, but insiders said she was awesome and a pleasure to work with.

  5. Michelle Trachtenberg, maybe.
    She had a lot of TV roles but did have several hit movies as a child. Supposedly was up for the lead in Twillight but didn't get it due to "scheduling conflicts".
    Hasn't done much of note lately.
    Speaks Russian.

  6. Victoria Justice seems to be working regularly. What is the point of the first part there?

    Dushku still works.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Michelle works. I swear I heard she's slept her way through her career.

  8. Michelle Trachtenberg is a good one. She's barely working.

  9. @plot - I think Enty was trying to make the point that some, like Victoria, don't get parts due to external factors like bad role choices or bad management advising them incorrectly, whereas whomever this blind is about screwed the wrong men (wrong because they were married) and shot herself in the foot. Perhaps if she didn't do that, she'd still be working.

    I checked both Eliza and Stacey on IMDB, and both have had roles right along, especially Eliza.

    I think Sara could be on to something with Michelle Trachtenberg.

    1. Maybe it was also was to get us thinking about someone roughly her age (not back in the day) &/or a Nickelodeon star, which is why I thought Michelle. But I could be wrong about that.

  11. Michelle is /was mostly TV
    Thinking someone like Rosario Dawson(but she still works quite a bit

  12. Michelle has really never had any good roles in the adult part of her career though.

  13. Dushku is on that show Bull based on Dr Phil

    Trachtenberg is a regular (voice) on Robot Chicken, but she is known mostly for her TV work, not movies.

  15. Is this meant to be Leelee Sobieski our fave dominanatrix?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I doubt that, didn't she quit the business because she didn't want to be hit on anymore by the pervs? I'm sure her dominatrix business is very lucrative

    ReplyDelete
  17. Her husband quit the fashion biz at the same time she quit movies, seems they are just hanging with their kids enjoying being parents.

  18. Tara Reid started out as a child star.

    Hilary Duff? She does have that Younger show, but outside of that, hasn't done much beyond self-promotional stuff and voice over work for the past several years. she has, like, two movies on her CV since 2012

    1. I thought about her too. Does she speak any other languages?

  21. The part about Victoria Justice is out of place. Maybe it's hinting a former co-star, or one of the other actresses who suffered through Dan Schizer?

    ReplyDelete
  22. No idea, but thinking the VJ reference must be a hint of some kind.

    okay, but who is like Victoria, Miranda, Jenneatte et al, that was mostly movie and A-/B+? Most of them were mostly TV. Ans they have to have had little work in the past four years.

    Bonnie Wright of the Harry Potter franchise has no released films on her imdb since 2015. Two are listed as in "post-production" but that's it.

  29. Hailee Steinfeld was the next big thing for a while, and her career has totally stalled out in the past few years, she has been just doing the pitch perfect franchise and a bunch of video shorts, although she has a completed movie coming out, nothing else in production

    She also said on Twitter that she speaks spanish.

    @Gauloise...Steinfeld is in the Transformers spinoff Bumblebee. That's...sort of a big project.

    Mika Boreem has a huge gap in her credits. Her last full length film was in 2012, only really did shorts and a segment of an anthology horror film since. Has one, seems to be low budget, film in post for 2018, but that's it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I don't see Hailee Steinfeld having affairs with "with two or three of the top money people in Hollywood," has anyone heard any different?

  32. @Melvin I dont watch transformers, I thought that bumblebee was a little indie project :)

  37. Hailee should have had her 2nd best actress nom for The Edge of Seventeen and she was Iin the last two Pitch movies. Plus she is in thew new transformers movie and has a successful singing career. Her career has not stalled.

    Tisdale and Hudgens still have credits to this day. Maybe not huge, but consistent. There are no gaps in their timelines. Not them.

  39. Who are these women you're talking about?

  40. Nicola Peltz.

    Has worked as a model. First big movie break was Deck the Halls with DeVito, Broderick and Chenoweth. Was in The Last Airbender (Nickelodeon link). Was in a Transformers movie.

  41. Oh, and the "diet tea" comment is a reference to Snapple. Her father at one time owned Snapple and turned the company around before selling it to Cadbury-Schweppes.
