Stars All are not lost: forgotten actresses who managed to regain their former glory

Today, these celebrities are being discussed again.

Jennifer Coolidge

The name of this actress did not try to remember before – for everyone she was just Stifler’s mother. Glory Jennifer Coolidge brought in the comedy film “American Pie” in 1999, where she played the magnificent and seductive mother of one of the main characters. But the same film became her curse. She never went beyond wacky comedies, there were no new memorable characters in her filmography, but the years go by.

So, Jennifer would remember only one role, if not for the meeting with the director and creator of the series “White Lotus” Mike White. Coolidge invited Tanya McQuoid to the role, in which she seems to have put all her unused acting energy. As soon as the series was released, this image of Coolidge was already called a cult. The audience adores her again and the critics praised her triumphant return. The actress has already taken home a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Golden Globe.

Of course, you remember Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy exterminating vampires in the popular series from the early 2000s. But what happened to her after that? Between filming the series, Gellar managed to star in several popular films, such as the cult Cruel Intentions, but then her filmography looked pretty sad – no big projects, no interesting roles, so the actress was rarely talked about and mentioned.

Gellar got her second professional shot thanks to the TV series The Wolf Pack, which was released on January 26, 2023 on the streaming service Paramount +. The actress acted as an executive producer and played one of the main roles. Gellar once again deals with otherworldly forces in the story – investigating the crimes of werewolves.

Lindsay Lohan started out with cute kid roles, then became the main “bad girl” in Zero, and then completely disappeared from the radar. Stormy youth brought Lohan a lot of problems: arrests for drunk driving, visits to a rehabilitation center for alcohol and drug problems. All this ended the career of the actress – in the midst of scandals, many studios stopped cooperating with her. How to restart Lindsay’s career did not go well for a long time, she also switched to other professions, for example, she opened beach clubs in Greece.

But in 2019, the actress was lucky. She managed to record and release her third studio album and later landed a role in the Netflix romantic comedy A Christmas to Remember. The film itself was called stereotypical by critics, but Lohan was praised in the reviews, so the return of the actress to the screens was a success.
