With a few exceptions, like Willie Nelson, the majority of the people on our list became famous within the past thirty years, and came crashing down as quickly as they'd risen up. Suzanne Somers wrote the book on doing that over a decade earlier, achieving fame by appearing in the much-loved sitcom 'Three's Company.' The bombshell blonde was wildly popular with the audience - but she let the instant hit of fame go to her head.
Somers time on the show lasted for almost exactly one year. Believing she was its biggest star, she demanded more money from the producers. They refused to budge, and so she quit. At that point, they sued her for breach of contract, and she hadn't yet brought in enough money to cover the legal bills she accrued trying to defend herself. Her reputation - and star value - never recovered.
