Randy Quaid

Randy Quaid, in his prime, could nail both a comic role and a serious one. The versatility of this man knew no bounds. From appearing in Kingpin to Independence Day, at one point, the actor threw hit after hit at us, and in 1974, he even got nominated for an Academy Award.

So, when did it all go south? That would be when Randy and his wife Evi decided to role-play Bonnie and Clyde and skipped towns after not paying their hotel bills. Though they even got briefly arrested, Quaid and the Mrs. left the country soon after the release and traveled to Canada.

Jennifer Grey

Jennifer Grey proved that, at times, you should accept yourself just the way you are. With hits like Dirty Dancing and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the actress became a fan favorite. Things were looking up for the starlet, for she was both pretty and talented, two signature traits of any successful artist in the film industry. But it all went south when Jennifer decided to get a nose job.

The operation made her nose look significantly smaller, and the once-celebrated actress now seemed almost unrecognizable. After witnessing her popularity taking a hit, Grey openly voiced her regret over the procedure.

Wesley Snipes

Wesley Snipes had quick a rise to fame and an equally swift professional downfall. The performer first became a big deal in Hollywood after the movie Bad. Then, with films like White Men Can’t Jump, he won both money and fame. Until one day, Wesley decided to throw it all away by not paying his taxes. The move landed him in confinement on several charges of tax evasion.

But thankfully, the star made it up by paying some penalties. In the books, Wesley made amends for the mistake, and everything went to normal. Though, the same is not true for the former A-list leading man’s career.

Paz De La Huerta

Paz De La Huerta was once famous for her on-screen personas. Her Spanish and American roots only made her more popular on the big screen, especially in the HBO series Boardwalk Empire. But off-the-screen, the starlet had a hard time keeping her wild-life under the wraps, frequently getting into trouble for it.

Paz was known for being a party girl, as her antics in the nightclubs often took rounds in the media, which caused her to fall from grace. As soon as the Boardwalk Empire casting teams got wind of her shenanigans; they terminated contracts with the artist.

Michael Richards

At one point, Michael Richards’ stand-up comedy shows were instant sell-outs. But the fabled comedian, known for the sitcom Seinfeld, did himself no favors when he lost his cool in front of a live audience.

Halfway through his stand-up act, Richards once came face to face with a heckler in the crowd with no intention of letting the thing slide. It turned into a confrontation with Michael using several inappropriate slurs in the process. Though he later apologized for his misbehavior in the Late Show with David Letterman, footage of the event made headlines everywhere, and there was no going back from the damage done.
