When Reddit user u/drmaxtherabbit recently asked, "What celebrity disappeared out of nowhere?", the responses slapped me in the face with nostalgia.
Here are the top-voted celebrities:
1. "The musical group known as LMFAO."
-- u/InsideTheTeamRoomm
2. "Mischa Barton. She was on The OC in the '00s, then nothing."
-- u/Phoenixblink
3. "Judge Reinhold. That dude was in pretty much everything once upon a time, and now you never see him in anything."
-- u/PinkStandstill
"This guy is ''80s movie dude' for me -- Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Beverly Hills Cop, and so much more. When I was a kid in Europe in the '80s, he was the standard who defined what American people sounded and acted like."
-- u/AlanZero
4. "Enya. I hear she made a fortune and now lives in a castle somewhere. Iconic."
5. "Erik Per Sullivan, aka Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle."
-- u/WomanNotAGirl
6. "It will always be Thora Birch for me."

-- u/July_Sandwich
8. "Richard Simmons."
-- u/king_rootin_tootin
9. "Julia Stiles. She did all those movies in the mid-2000s and then gone."

-- u/Moongiraffe01
"He's on a sitcom named Welcome to Flatch."
-- u/Exhumedatbirth76
"I used to bartend in New York City and met a ton of celebrities over the years. Seann William Scott was by far the nicest and most gracious of all of them by a mile. Such a cool dude."
-- [deleted]
17. "Jason Lee from My Name Is Earl."
-- u/MidnightSun77
18. "Josh Hutcherson. He was such a sweetheart and heartthrob. I wish his face appeared more frequently in the industry."
-- u/Dayday-bsl
"Watch Future Man! It's fantastic and he's hilarious in it. I was prepared to hate Peeta Mellark in a comedy, but he's got chops. The show is a little slapstick, but it's also just really good from beginning to end."

19. "Meg Ryan."
-- u/Dangerous_Style_2221
