Randi Brooks



She's been in countless TV series throughout the 1980s, and appeared in seven motion pictures and in one music video by Dr. Hook. Probably most recognizable, playing a prostitute in Steve Martin's comedy The Man With Two Brains (1983). She retired from acting in the late 1980s to focus on her family. She later worked as a real estate agent in Washington.

Leelee Sobieski



She retired from acting in 2012 to focuse on her children and art career.

Linda Fiorentino



According to Wikipedia her career slowed down to a halt in the early 2000s. It is said Fiorentino was part of "Hollywood's Difficult Women" (Difficult to work with). Apparently Tommy Lee Jones refused to do Men in Black II if Fiorentino was in it, so she was written out of the sequel. Her final film Once More with Feeling was released direct-to-DVD in 2009.
