Wilson was famous in the 1990s as a child star. When she played the title character of ‘Matilda’ so convincingly, the world fell in love with this intelligent, mind-controlling, and Trunchball-defeating character! She was also seen in the very famous movie ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ along with Robin Williams. However, despite her initial stardom, she stepped out of the limelight.
Wilson loves to write and published a book, ‘Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame,’ in 2016. No one knows if Wilson will ever return to be in front of the cameras, but one thing is certain. She has definitely left an erasable mark in the industry that continues to shine.
Monica Lewinsky
It was beyond Monica Lewinsky’s dream to become a famous name when she was working as an intern at the White House in 1998. But, unfortunately, the world knew her because of all her political scandals, more so when her name got dragged into an ‘inappropriate relationship’ with former President Bill Clinton.
Back in 2014, Lewinsky braved up and decided to tell the world her side of the story. She penned an article, ‘Shame and Survival,’ for the prestigious Vanity Fair publication, where she spilled the beans. Currently, the world knows Lewinsky as a motivational speaker and an anti-cyber-bullying activist.
Danielle Fishel
Danielle Fishel made her first appearance in the television sitcom ‘Boy Meets World’ as Topanga and continued to act even after the show ended. But her fame subsided after this, and she never saw any hint of stardom again. However, Fishel was again cast in the spin-off of the show ‘Girl Meets World.’
Nowadays, she is mostly seen in media outlets for entertainment reporting. Over the years, there were rumors that Fishel had something going on with her co-star Cory Matthews. Back then, they both denied it; however, in recent days, they admitted that something was, in fact, going on.
Tonya Harding
Once recognized as a terrific ice skater, Harding met with an accusation in the year 1994. Every news channel reported her and Nancy Kerrigan’s beef. It was actually Shane Stant who had injured Kerrigan, but the accusation fell on Harding. She was charged with harming a fellow competitor, and her skating career obviously ended after that.
However, she had a busy life by selling a scandalous tape, having a rather short boxing career, and having set a new land speed record for a vintage gas coupe. Harding is now married to her third husband; they have a son and live relatively quietly in Vancouver, Washington.
Nancy Kerrigan
Despite being a prolific ice skater, Nancy Kerrigan became a headline in the news because of some unfortunate incidents. A victim of the 1994 Ice Skating Scandal, she did not let it dampen her spirits and recovered rather quickly, truth be told.
She was such an exceptional skater that she managed to win a silver medal at the Winter Olympics in 1994, which, hold your breath, was held only a few weeks after the mishap! After that, in 2010 and 2014, Kerrigan remained as an Olympics correspondent. Kerrigan participated in the 24th season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and won 6th place.
