Actors Who Were Supposed To Be The Next Big Thing But Fizzled Out

Anne Heche

Anne Heche was a prominent household name thanks to her time on the soap opera, Another World. She also had roles in the films Donnie Brasco, Volcano, Six Days, Seven Night, and Return to Paradise. However, her career suffered after she dated Ellen DeGeneres, which at the time was a major scandal.

Linda Fiorentino

Linda Fiorentino's first major role was in the 1985 film Vision Quest. She then rose to prominence when she starred in the action movie Gotcha! Despite having several major breaks in the '80s and '90s, she was never able to keep the momentum going through the rest of her career.
