What celebrities (male or female) have hit the wall the hardest?

[phillybri]

I'll go w/ Tawny Kitaen followed by Daryl Hannah.

Can anyone remember when these two were actually considered beautiful?

[Stephanie]

1. You are about to get your head flamed off

Counting one

two

three

[Wickerman]

2. Gabe Kaplan is a classic example of smacking the wall

Big star, then, nothing - hard to get work at the dinner theatre in Des Moines.

[phillybri]

4. You're right, but I'm thinking more about looks...

I don't know if Mr. Kotter ever had a time when he was considered a good-looking cat...

[Wickerman]

11. oh, sorry, I thought we were talking about something of substance

like the careers of bad actors on cheesy and dated TV programs. Hey, I'm not aging well, either - I'll stay out of this.

[SaveElmer]

13. I heard he got rich gambling professionally...nt

[AntiCoup2K4]

19. You can throw all the Sweathogs in there too

except for Vinnie Barbarino, of course. He's done alright.

[mitchum]

32. Actually, he dropped out of show business to become a professional gambler

he does very well at it

[GumboYaYa]

3. IMO there is no greater example than Michael Jackson.

Talk about destroying yourself.....

[Lavender Brown]

18. It makes me sad whenever I see a photo of him as a kid

with his normal, sweet, God-given face. :cry:

[TheDebbieDee]

22. I remember when he was a handsome, young man and not the

freak he is today. He's pathetic and laughable and I wonder why his family didn't get him the help he so obviously needed.

[Archae]

5. What exactly do you mean?

By "hit the wall?"

You mean how they look as they get older?

Some people age better than others do.
Keith Richards looks mummified, while most people get my age wrong by almost 10 years. (Look at my gallery picture, I'm 44)

[jdsmith]

8. Has Keith actually aged since 1969?

He seems as youthful (or whatever) as ever.

[phillybri]

9. I'm talking strictly looks...

A good male example would be Billy joel.

What the fuck happened there???

[Fenris]

10. No, no. He literally hit a wall.

With his car.

[AntiCoup2K4]

20. Keith didn't hit the wall

He just looks like he did. But then most guys who abused drugs on that level are dead now, so comparatively speaking, he's doing great.

[asthmaticeog]

21. Welll,

Keef looked like a corpse in 1964 - I don't think he counts. Shitty as he looks, he's a freakin' miracle of preservation.

[DS1]

6. Funny, I was just talking about hiring TK for $50 an hour to writhe

around on some beat up old cars for a mock WhiteSnake video over lunch :7

But my choice would be Jan Michael Vincent

[Fenris]

7. Oh, God, I just laughed out loud.

JMV. :spank:

[phillybri]

12. She'd do it...she could use some extra $$$...

:puke:

[chaska]

14. This is maybe an odd choice but...

Remember how beautiful Mary Wilson of the Supremes used to be? I thought she's never hit the wall. She was looking pretty hot as recently as maybe five years ago, but now....

It's tragic. I used to want her so bad.

[Gildor Inglorion]

15. James Taylor

*shudder* And then compare with how GREAT Sir Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, and Art Garfunkel look. And Ringo Starr hasn't changed a bit (well, he never was pretty, was he?).

[terrya]

16. Jan Michael Vincent.

Years of booze and drugs took their toll, I'm afraid. Jan Michael Vincent was BEAUTIFUL. He was in a Disney movie, "The World's Most Amazing Athlete" or something like that. He was simply beautiful in it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

30. Don't forget "Airwolf"

I mean, come on -- it had Ernest Borgnine in it!!!

[daligirrl]

35. You are so right. . .

One of my first movie star crushes!

[On the Road]

17. The Most Tragic Hit-ee Has to be

Mary Travers. When I was a little kid, she was a babe. Now she not only looks like a truck driver, she sounds like one.

[Westegg]

23. I just saw a TV commercial featuring John Elway...

...former QB of the Broncos. Looks like he's aged 15 years in the last 3. He looked awful.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

24. Kathleen Turner

and Terri Garr.

Ouch.

[fishnfla]

25. Dale Earnhart nt

[Magrittes Pipe]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Sorry.

I mean:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

[bigwillq]

26. Daryl Hannah now looks like

a heroin addict. Any one hear if she's using drugs?

[sundog]

27. dunno...

agreed, she looks really strung out...

[Kat45]

28. David Lee Roth

He used to look good back in the day. He's aged terribly--he's around my age, maybe a year older, and he looks years and years older, he's such a mess now. It's sad to see.

[mr blur]

29. That would be Lurleen Lumpkin

She's really lost it since she came out of the clinic.

[Malikshah]

31. Mickey Rourke and Axel Rose

They look so terribly strange now.

Sort of like a Fox TV Show: When Plastic Surgeons Attack!

[mitchum]

Eric Roberts and Kathleen Turner...

both were beautiful in their youth, but now...

[mitchum]

33. Eric Roberts and Kathleen Turner...

both were beautiful in their youth, but now...

[Canuckistanian]

34. Glen Campbell

I win.

[ForrestGump]

36. I think you do

Then again:
