Lisa Welchel wasn't forced away from stardom; she found a calling and followed that instead. We know her as Blair Warner from 'The Facts of Life,' but the facts of her own life changed completely when she met her husband Steven Cauble, who is a pastor. Getting married was a religious experience for Welchel as much as it was a romantic one, and she re-evaluated what she wanted to do with her life.
One of the results of that re-evaluation was that she wanted to stay at home and raise a family, channeling her energy in her spare time into writing. It turns out she was probably destined to write anyway; she has more than ten books published on topics ranging from motherhood to being a better Christian. She couldn't shake off the desire to be on screen altogether; she entered 'Survivor: Philippines' when the opportunity arose. She finished runner up and pocketed $100K in the process. Nice work if you can get it!
