Sometimes an actor we all know and sort of love will just disappear from our cinema screens. One minute, they’re in every sort of movie under the sun, but before you know it they’re gone, reduced to voicing a supporting character in a Dreamworks animation.
Sometimes an actor will just slowly slip from notoriety, picking increasingly obscure projects by choice, until they eventually declare it’s over. But often it’ll take only one film for someone to go from the peak of the A-List to the base camp of the Z-List.
Here we give you twelve actors who had their career ruined by one film. Some of them went gallantly, realising their time was up and honourably quitting. Others were less so; trying their best to cling on to what semblance of fame and ended up as desperate as a Superman fan attempting to find something good in Man Of Steel.
I’m not going to cover actors who’ve had a slow decline (Tim Robbins, Robert De Niro) or who Hollywood think are still big when audience’s would beg to differ (Will Smith, Tom Hanks). These are all people who have one major offending movie, with it’s poster on their dartboard and a Golden Raspberry (the terrible movie equivalent of the Oscars) proudly on the mantle.

With the exception of Mike Myers, I agree with you about the list. Was Cuba Gooding on the list? There's numerous and varied reasons for why someone's career stagnates and it's been going on since the beginnings of the movies. Why wasn't Ella Raines a bigger star? How did Lana Turner last so long. "The Passenger" didn't end Maria Schneider's career but using the logic of that list it did. Did "Panic In Needle Park" end Kitty Winn's career? Nope. It's a silly list with a sillier premise.

Ellen DeGeneres film career was destroyed by starring in the romantic comedy Mr. Wrong, where it became painfully clear that she was very uncomfortable in a romantic situation with a man. Not that there's anything wrong with it, of course, as there have been lesbian actresses who could convincingly pull off a romantic film role with a man but she could not. From that point on, Ellen focused on television and has been enormously successful.
I would have to consider Crispin Glover for the list. I don't think he would have been anything more than a quirky character actor, but he got good reviews for Back to the Future for his weird, slightly creepy, geeky character, but it soon turned out he was not acting but he was playing himself. His career quickly unraveled after the incident on the Letterman show (when it was not trendy to do something bizarre on a talk show) and he was not invited back for the BTTF sequels.
Tea Leoni in Deep Impact? It was one of the worst miscastings I have ever seen.

If I recall correctly, both Carroll Baker and Sue Lyon
had their careers ruined or diminished by their roles
in 'Baby Doll' and 'Lolita', respectively.

I mean this as tragic, not homophobic, that nearly
everybody in 'The Boys in the Band' died of AIDS.
They had the misfortune of being sexually active
during the period when the virus epidemic was rampant
but the deadly effects had not yet manifested, and the
condition was not generally known. The film, 'Making
the Boys' (2009) is quite good and informative.

Carroll Baker made some 40 films after Baby Doll and Sue Lyon won a Golden Globe and instant celebrity and went on to make a dozen or so films with names like John Ford and Frank Sinatra. Neither was a particular nuanced actor and both may have exceded their 15 minutes.

I haven't seen the 1997 version, but would think
the 1962 Kubrick/Mason/Sellers version that I've seen
several times would be hard to beat.

I've queued the 1997 version on Netflix, and should
see it this weekend. I don't think I'm the one who
argued with you before, but we can take it up again
in a few days.

Let sleeping debates lie, but... I don't see the two LOLITAs as competing in any important sense. E.g., Kubrick's is wicked and Lyne's is gorgeous, and I think I could watch them in either order without feeling much deja vu (...and then I could probably even read the book again).

Nothing's ever the 'same', of course, but I note PHAEDRA, FIVE MILES TO MIDNIGHT, THE TRIAL, and PRETTY POISON as memorable titles, and my memory's not great...

James Dean came close, but his GIANT scenes had just
been finished. If I recall correctly, there was some
late dubbing using someone else's voice, that would have
been done with his voice if he had still been alive.

'Plan 9 from Outer Space' because of his death,
but I'm not sure if it was shot for that particular
movie or not.

1962 film one full point higher than the 1997 version.
I had seen them both before and always preferred the 1962 version in
which Nabokov consulted for the production.
So what is your basis? The fact that the 1997 version was in color?
Your preference for the actors? While I enjoy Irons' work, I thought
Mason made a better Humbert; he fit the role better. The heightened
eroticism of the re-make? Some things are left better to the
imagination.

Apples and oranges. It's hard to imagine two more different
movies made from the same material. The Lyne is far darker
and more emotional. But Kubrick had a better sense of the
self-delusion of Nabokov's unreliable narrator, and in the
end I think that's more important.

due to arrive tomorrow, I watched the 1962 movie
again, and as good as it is, Lolita herself
never comes across as any better than a selfish
brat, and usually she is far worse. It will be
interesting to see if she has any redeeming
qualities in the later version.

That's interesting because in the 1962 movie Lolita
has already been corrupted by Quilty before we see
her for the first time. We don't learn that until
near the end, however.
