6. Lindsay Lohan
Many a child star has fallen on hard times later in life but few did so as wildly and in the public eye as Lohan. She became a star with her role as twins in The Parent Trap and followed it up with Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, both box office hits that made her the next “it girl” of Hollywood. She was growing in the public eye (especially in her chest) and seemed ready to make the jump to the big leagues in a huge way. And then in 2007 came the collapse. First, stories circulated about her hard partying that she chalked up to “exhaustion” that interrupted filming of Georgia Rule. Then DUI arrests made her an instant tabloid favorite and an appendix surgery that halted many offers. That was followed by a slew of major flops like I Know Who Killed Me and more arrests with Lohan spending more time in rehab and even jail than on red carpet events. Her attempts at comebacks are mixed, including showing off her nude body a few times but nothing of major note. Today, Lohan has moved to London and trying to get back on track but still sad how a career of a young, promising and quite beautiful woman could go off the tracks so much.
