These 10 films, akin to a chef's disastrous attempt at a new dish that ends up closing the restaurant, mark the unfortunate turning points for actors who once seemed destined for Walk of Fame stardom.
Like a game of musical chairs where the music stops abruptly, leaving one unlucky actor without a seat at the table of success, these movies stand as stark reminders of the fickle nature of fame.
Each one, touted initially as a lucky break, turned out to be a fast track out of Tinseltown, proving that not all that glitters in Hollywood is gold.
In the unforgiving arena of show business, where one day you're the hero and the next, you're the punchline, these films are the plot twists that no actor saw coming, forever changing the course of their careers with the speed and finality of a director's cut.
