No, I don't mean that they did a 'Lord Lucan'.

inspired by the 'Ray Cokes' thread, I was thinking of other celebs that seem to have been popular one minute then invisible the next.

One that springs to mind is Russ Abbott.

The man was a comedy lynchpin of 80's TV, yet ive not heard or seen anthing of him for the best part of 15 years or so.

anyone else think of any similar 'celebs'?

He's a serious actor now I think, I've seen him in something relatively recently. Good too.




Elvis Presley was all over the place one minute, then the next he was as quiet as a mouse. Curious.

Michael J Fox - Although he does have Parkinsons so this is probably why.

I wish they would all just vanish tbh, all except Clarkson.

Don't forget the one's who drop out of the limelight by choice. Rick Astley and Andrew Ridgely spring to mind.

OUCH! Poor form sir.

Although same could be said for Princess Di, she did shedloads of charity work and stopped it all suddenly. I wonder what went through her mind?

Oh yeah, the dashboard

Mark Morrison.


Thankfully, not seen hide nor hair of him for years. Granted, Celebs is being kind to him.

I thought that the BBC were abolishing their compulsory pension scheme.

Fox publicly retired some years back, apparently his Parkinson's has advanced to where he really can't act anymore.

Some cautious mod has removed the Turner/Bovey posts.

No need to do that, chaps. He's stopped suing. Lawyers cost money.
