It seems crazy, but some super hot and famous Hollywood actresses do end up quitting the business. Why would starlets leave it all behind, especially ones who are at the top of their careers? It turns out there are several reasons which we will get into in just a moment with these five sexy starlets who have walked away from the acting industry. There are very famous non-nude actresses who left the business like Shirley Temple and the Olsen twins, but we are going to focus here on actresses who delivered some sexy and skinsational scenes.
5. Meghan Markle
Let's start with the most famous and most recent person on the 'I quit acting' list. I will say right off the bat that Meghan has never actually gone nude, but her lingerie scenes are enough for us to add Meghan to the list. The former Suits star Meghan Markle joined Grace Kelly in being an American actress who quitting a pursuit in Hollywood in order to become a royal. Unlike Grace Kelly, Meghan was still trying to make a name for herself in the business when she met her English prince, and then she tossed those dreams aside to become a real American princess. It all seems glamorous at first, but then everything soured as things tend to do with our American princesses (I'm still not over Grace Kelly's sad story, I'm sorry!). We all know how that worked out for our beautiful royal actress, but Meghan and her hubby Prince Harry have started a podcast so she is not totally removed from the spotlight.
4. Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz was THE hot ticket in 2014 when she starred in three movies hitting the theaters at once and then she suddenly stepped all the way back. She had JUST shown her ass and titty in Sex Tape, too. She decided that she had given half of her life at that point to the public eye and that she felt like that was more than enough. Wow, what a stance! Cameron has released a few books and focused on raising her daughter Raddix (it's like radish, but cool?) with rockstar Benji Madden. She's still gorgeous!
3. Bridget Fonda
A Fonda quitting an acting career? That feels like sacrilege! However, Bridget Fonda did not feel that way. The daughter of Peter Fonda, and Jane's niece, began her career in her old man's film Easy Rider and managed to star in some of the absolute most famous films of the 80s and 90s. From Single White Female to Lake Placid, Bridget was churning out skinsational roles. She has appeared in famous nude scenes in Aria, Camilla, A Simple Plan, Kiss of the Dragon, and even MORE. So how in the world could this blonde beauty turn her back on her family legacy in Hollywood? It's a classic story really. She got married to another successful Hollywood person, had a kid, and decided that she would much rather live a quieter life to raise her son (with Danny Elfman, mind you) than take off her top for adoring fans. Sigh. Suit yourself, Fonda.
2. Phoebe Cates
Not Phoebe Cates quitting acting! Sadly, it's true. The 80s icon who wowed us in Fast Times at Ridgemont High retired several years ago from the spotlight to focus on her family and pivot her career entirely. She now owns a boutique in New York City called Blue Tree and has been married to actor Kevin Kline for years. Fun fact: her daughter is now a rockstar who goes by the name Frankie Cosmos. At least someone is carrying on her legacy.
1. Brigitte Bardot
Brigitte Bardot may be one of the most famous actresses who quit acting at the height of her career and has not looked back. She still makes headlines with her rather controversial opinions, but she spends all of her energy these days doing animal rescue in Europe.
