Movie business is notoriously tough. Some people never get a chance to break into the big screen; some get stuck playing the same roles over and over again, and then there are the ones who shine bright too young and then fade into obscurity. The stars on this list had different career paths and died from different causes, but all of their fates are tragic reminders that fame takes its toll on young, impressionable celebrities.
