You know the feeling. You're watching some '90s classic on cable when suddenly it hits you: What happened to these people?

As much as we love our Lupitas and Channings, there are certain stars who stole our hearts and then just kind of faded away. Some have retired. Some have moved on from the business. Some are doing bit parts or working on lesser-known projects that you might not have heard of. Some, thankfully, will soon be getting the face time they deserve. All of them are actors we really want to see more of.

From '90s and '00s heartthrobs to onetime It Girls to veteran actors enjoying retirement, these are the famous faces we just can't forget. Please pay attention, casting directors.
