All is not lost: Forgotten actresses who were able to regain their former glory

As you know, popularity can be very fleeting. Today you are on all the covers of the world, and tomorrow your name is already forgotten. These actresses had to learn this first hand, but they managed to pull themselves together and relaunch their careers.

Today, these celebrities are once again the subject of discussion.

Jennifer Coolidge

The name of this actress had never been tried to remember before – for everyone she was only Stifler’s mother. Glory Jennifer Coolidge brought the comedy film “American Pie” in 1999, where she played the spectacular and seductive mother of one of the main characters. But the same movie became his curse. She never left the framework of goofy comedies, there were no new memorable characters in her filmography, but the years go by.

So Jennifer would have been remembered for only one role, if not for meeting director and “White Lotus” series creator Mike White. He guest-starred Coolidge as Tanya McQuoid, in which she seems to have put all her acting energy unused. As soon as the series was released, this image of Coolidge has already been called a cult. She is once again adored by the public, and critics have enjoyed the triumphant return. The actress has already won a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Golden Globe Award.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sure, you remember how, as Buffy, Sarah Michelle Gellar exterminated vampires in the popular series from the early 2000s. But what happened to her then? Between filming the series, Gellar managed to star in several popular films, such as the cult Cruel Intentions, but her filmography looked rather sad – no major projects, no interesting roles, so the actress was rarely mentioned and mentioned.

Gellar got his second professional chance thanks to the television series The Wolf Pack, released on January 26, 2023 on the Paramount + streaming service. The actress acted as an executive producer and played one of the main roles. In the story, Gellar again deals with otherworldly forces – she investigates werewolf crimes.

Lindsey Lohan

Lindsay Lohan started out with cute kid roles, then became Zero’s main “bad girl” and then fell off the radar altogether. Stormy youth caused Lohan a lot of trouble: arrests for drunk driving, visits to a rehabilitation center due to alcohol and drug problems. All this put an end to the career of the actress – in the midst of scandals, many studios stopped working with her. How to restart Lindsay’s career did not succeed for a long time, she even switched to other professions, for example, she opened beach clubs in Greece.

But in 2019, the actress was lucky. She was able to record and release her third studio album and later land a role in the Netflix romantic comedy A Christmas to Remember. The film itself was called stereotypical by critics, but Lohan received critical acclaim, so the actress’ return to screens was a success.
