I don't think I know who any of those people are. Julia Stiles rings a vague bell, I suppose, but with an i, not a y, so maybe I'm thinking of someone different.

ScentOfAMemory · 18/03/2023 12:52

Would have to Google all 3 tbh.

Templebreedy · 18/03/2023 12:53

Of your three, I’ve only ever heard of Julia Stiles.

Yesthatismychildsigh · 18/03/2023 12:54

When you say ‘famous’………never heard of any of them.

Darren day 🤣

LlynTegid · 18/03/2023 12:55

For many years, Tony Slattery, because of health issues.

Funnily enough I was thinking about this the other day.

It was Lauryn Hill, I was thinking of.

Lauryn Hill was huge in the 90s, with things like Sister Act 2 and Fugees etc.
She's a fabulous singer/rapper.

I'm sure I read somewhere she went to priding for Tax Evasion and decided to take a step back from fame.

Annika Rice

She's currently on the TV with some form of advert for something.

TomatoSandwiches · 18/03/2023 12:58

Mary Elizabeth is Ewan McGregors newish brood mare so no wonder they're both quiet.

Darren day 🤣

He used to be all over the tabloids for his shagging around, didn’t he? Wonder what he’s up to now.

ShirleyPhallus · 18/03/2023 12:59

Wigfield, what happened to her?!

Purplecatshopaholic · 18/03/2023 12:59

Julia Stiles still acts, she crops up in all sorts of stuff.

Julia Styles was in the Bourne films, but I suppose they are a while ago too.

Riapia · 18/03/2023 13:01

Jimmy Saville.
Rolf Harris.

Quirrelsotherface · 18/03/2023 13:01

Isn't she the main host of Loose Women?

Ewan mcgregor has gone pretty quiet

He's filming in Northwest England at the moment and being pictured out and about quite a bit.

Soubriquet · 18/03/2023 13:02

All 3 of mine were movie actors

Danielle Panabaker did Grimm, Sky High, The Flash, Supergirl, and more.

Mary-Elizabeth did 10 Cloverfield Lane, Make it Happen, Final Destination 2, Scott Pilgrim, Birds of Prey and more

Julia Styles obviously did Save The Last Dance, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Omen, and others
