Jenny Wright quit acting in the 1990s. She was best known for playing the female lead in Katherine Bigelow's Near Dark (1987). In the mid-2000s images of her and a team of people trying to save farmland appeared on social media. They needed money for a new tractor (if memory serves) and were asking for donations. Jenny Wright did a few ironic hollywood-style poses (in dirty work clothing) for the camera to get people to donate.

According to IMDb she now makes appearences at horror conventions.

I will always remember her in I MadmanSmile

Rick Moranis was one of the big names in humor in the 80s.  When his wife died, he "took a break" from movies so he could better raise his kinds and never went back to it.

Angela Mao quit making kung fu movies to run restaurants.

Amy Yip retired to run food and beverage stuff.

Food and beverage? She could definitely sell milk if she wanted.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
