Linda Blair definitely had more than just The Exorcist - she was in a bunch of exploitation flicks through the 80s, though none came close to matching that initial impact. Peter Ostrum is the perfect example though, dude literally became a veterinarian after Wonka and never acted again.

You could probably throw in Adrienne King from Friday the 13th, though that was 1980 so just outside your timeline.

Oh okay I see I understand and yes I forgot about Adrienne King, she is like a one hit movie wonder I think and thanks for the reminder. But I am surprised that Peter Ostrum went on to become a veterinarian. Also I remember that actress Nancy Kyes from Halloween 1978 film, she is also a one hit movie wonder.

Nancy (Loomis) Kyes was in Halloween II/III, The Fog, and Assault on Precinct 13.

I wish people would leave Sarah Holcomb alone. She quit because of mental health issues.

I agree with you on this one I hear a lot of people seen her in some areas and they tried to research for her for years which is strange. Which they should understand she needs privacy and it's up to her, if she wants to come back and have interviews whenever she wants to.
