Have you ever wondered what happened to certain celebrities after they were famous?

I've just been reading about a strange new role for 6th Sense star Haley Joel Osment

The last I heard he was having drug or alcohol abuse problems; which might be a common problem for child stars.

Remember Macaulay Culkin? The Home Alone star battled with drug addiction and now fronts a bizarre band called The Pizza Underground, preforming songs about pizzas.

One star who has suffered from alcohol addiction later in life is former Airwolf star Jan Michael Vincent. He has had most of his left leg apputated due to infection and is struggling to keep a roof over his head.

I often wondered what happened to the girl who played Newt in the film Aliens. Carrie Henn has not acted before or since her appearence in the horror sequel.

Poltergeist star Heather O'Rourke came to a sad end. She died shortly after filming Poltergeist 3 at the age of 12. Doctors at the Kaiser Permanente Hospital misdiagnosed her has having Crohn's Disease. The treatment caused her to have a fatal heart attack.

Which stars of yesteryear do you miss seeing now? Do you know what happened to them after they were famous?
