Hollywood stars who mysteriously disappeared
Gene Tierney: The star who faded into shadows ; Gene Tierney was once the luminous face of classic cinema, best known for her role in 'Laura' (1944). Behind her porcelain beauty hid a life fractured by tragedy and mental illness. Though she didn’t literally vanish, Tierney disappeared in another sense—retreating from fame after multiple breakdowns and a harrowing stay in psychiatric hospitals. By the 1960s, the actress who once enchanted millions had vanished from the screen entirely, living in quiet isolation in Texas . Barbara Payton: from Hollywood’s darling to tragic disappearance ; Barbara Payton’s story could have been written by noir itself. The blonde bombshell who starred in 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye' (1950) became more famous for her scandalous love life than her talent. After a violent public affair with actor Franchot Tone and a decline into addiction, Payton drifted into obscurity. By the late 1960s, she was gone from Hollywood, surviving on the streets of Los Angeles until her mysterious death in 1967 at just 39.
