Big-Time Celebrities Who Don't Get Hired Anymore

Ashley Judd

Like many women before her, Ashley Judd was blacklisted by Harvey Weinstein. She refused his advances multiple times. Once he was finally sick of her declining him, he made sure that she never worked in Hollywood again. Luckily, she had enough evidence to take him to court and they settled for a few million dollars. She was un-backlisted. 

Randy Quaid

Randy Quaid is quite the character. He had some great films like Independence Day and National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. He's been on a downward spiral ever since the '90s. He is now politically motivated and posts incredibly outlandish far-right videos and stories. He has been arrested multiple times for vandalism. He secured his spot on the blacklist after his wife, Evi, sent everyone in the Equity Actors Union a nude photo of herself holding guns.
