Where are they now?
Even though we don't like to admit it sometimes, we're always curious as to where people end up in life. From people we met as kids, or went to school with. To people we watched on the big screen when we were kids.
Society is full of misery and failure. So the happy fools at InfoSack decided to showcase some actors who defied the odds and made something of themselves. |
In their prime:
| Where we assumed they would be:
| Where they are now:
|
Anna Chlumksy, star of 1991's My Girl.
| 
Most Child Actors end up addicted to drugs.
| 
Actually living a great life, married, age 31, and not a complete failure. Good for you!
|
William Katt, star of TV's "Greatest American Hero." circa 1985.
| 
Typical failed actor who becomes a bum and blames everyone but himself.
| 
Katt is doing great, remarried, has a few kids, appearing in some decent B-movies and lending his voice to animated films. Good for him.
|
Emilio Estevez, oldest son of Martin Sheen, star of "The Breakfast Club" and the coach in "The Mighty Ducks."
| 
Shot himself when realizing how much society sucks for idolizing a drug addicted boozer also known as his brother, Charlie Sheen.
| 
Estevez, Age 49, father of two, finding success as a director and producer, even receiving awards for his films. Definitely not what we expected from this Brat Pack veteran. Kudos my friend!
|
Lou Diamond Phillips, star of "La Bamba" and "Young Guns" spent most of the 80's flexing his acting skills in every role he could find.
| 
Living in the woods, out of a trailer, falling into a fire he set but was too drunk to avoid.
| 
Phillips, 49, father, and successful TV actor. He is everywhere now. If you're a Stargate SG-1 fan, or turn on any Sci-Fi movie, he's there. Some would see that as an epic fail, but not in my book. His IMDB page shows 103 acting roles since 1984. Not too shabby!
|
Phoebe Cates, super hottie of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Paradise." No one can forget that red bikini scene!
| 
Hollywood is notorious for turning driven women into common street hookers. I expected her to eventually become one as she kinda dropped off the face of the planet one day.
| 
Proving she's a timeless beauty, Cates is now 48 and you couldn't tell she was over 35 if you tried. She's still married to Kevin Kline, which is another anomaly in itself. They have two children, one of which (Owen Kline) caught the acting bug and is already making a name for himself. We're happy for Cates and Kline for defeating that Hollywood curse. Probably because they live in N.Y. now.
