**I think the “CandY” zoogirl was thinking of was Candy Clark. Her career didn’t amount to much after American Grafitti, but she did made several other films. **

:smack:

Her REAL name was Candy, the character was Debbie!

Oh man, I KNEW that!

D’oh! :rolleyes:

Thanks, RealityChuck!

Granted, he appeared in other things, but Peter Billingsley was in one of the greatest movies ever (A Christmas Story) and then sort of faded away.

I imagine this thread could most easily be filled by child actors who later decided not to make a career out of it.

Poor Peg Entwistle. One of the most promising Broadway starlets of the late 1920s (she inspired Bette Davis to become an actress), Peg only appeared in one movie before killing herself by jumping off the HOLLYWOODLAND sign in 1932.

**There’s a fairly obscure movie called The Specials. It’s a comedy about a group of superheroes. Despite the very low budget, the casting was excellent. I was therefore surprised to see that several members of the cast have essentially never appeared in any other film (not counting “roles” such as Girl #3 or Man in Crowd).

I have The Specials on DVD. It’s a fun movie that I prefer over Mystery Men.

Not really a one hit wonder, John Cazale only appeared in

The Godfather (1972)
The Conversation (1974)
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
The Deer Hunter (1978)

so every movie was a hit.
