Estella Warren
Before her life as a Hollywood actress, Canadian-born Estella Dawn Warren was a synchronized swimmer. She was quite the swimmer as well, being a member of her country’s national team and a winner of three national titles. Aside from that, she’s also a successful model who has been featured in prominent publications, like Sports Illustrated, and in advertising campaigns for notable brands, such as Perry Ellis and Victoria’s Secret.
Later on, she started acting and became the star of a number of films, like Tim Burton’s 2001 re-adaptation of the movie Planet of the Apes, and in hit TV shows such as Law & Order, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and Beauty and the Beast.
Sean Young
Sean Young started her career in the film industry in 1980 with the movie Jane Austen in Manhattan. The American actress then landed a leading lady role alongside Harrison Ford in the classic science fiction movie Blade Runner in the following year. After her performance in Blade Runner, she starred in various other films, including Dune, No Way Out, Wall Street, Cousins, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. Things were looking good.
That was until she turned up at Tim Burton’s office in a Catwoman getup in an attempt to persuade him to offer her the role in Batman Returns. Young’s weird conduct in public during industry events made things even worse. On February 26th, 2012, while Hollywood stars were enjoying an after-party for the 84th Academy Awards, Young was arrested and forced to vacate the party because she didn’t have a ticket for the event.
Stephen Dorff
Stephen Dorff began his acting career during the late ’80s, securing only small roles at first, including guest performances on TV shows like Diff'rent Strokes, Blossom, Roseanne, and Married... with Children. The American actor’s first major role came in The Gate in 1987, a horror movie involving a boy who, together with his friend, uncovers a mysterious hole in his back yard, which later turned out to be a gateway to Hell.
Now in his mid-forties, it may be too late for Dorff to take his career to the next level. He is making somewhat of a comeback, though, in HBO's series True Detective, where he stars as Detective Roland West, alongside award-winning actor Mahershala Ali, who plays the lead role and West's partner, Detective Wayne Hays.
Anne Heche
Anne Celeste Heche rose to mainstream popularity after performing a dual role in the soap opera Another World and in various movies like Donnie Brasco, Volcano, Six Days, Seven Nights, and Return to Paradise. In 2004, the American actress won a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her part in the movie Gracie's Choice, and a Tony nomination for Best Actress in a Play for her performance in Broadway's Twentieth Century.
After her famed relationship with comedian Ellen DeGeneres though, Anne Heche’s career suffered a major decline. Her reputation took a further hit when the public found out that she was suffering from some kind of mental illness. Heche revealed on national TV that she had an alter ego who was God’s daughter and Jesus Christ’s sister, named "Celestia". Apparently, the alter ego also communicated with Aliens. In August 2022, Anne tragically passed away.
Linda Fiorentino
Linda Fiorentino landed her first acting role in 1985 when she was chosen as the lead star in the coming-of-age movie Vision Quest. Soon after, the American actress garnered critical acclaim for her play in the action movie “Gotcha!”. Following her success in Vision Quest and Gotcha, she continued to star in various films, such as After Hours, Queens Logic, and Jade.
Linda Fiorentino’s acting career rose to new and greater heights when she starred in the sci-fi action comedy film Men in Black, followed by other prominent movies like Dogma, Where the Money Is, and Liberty Stands Still. She received the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress, the London Film Critics Circle Award for Actress of the Year, and a nomination for a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her play in the 1994 movie Last Seduction.
