10 Celebs Who Are On The Hollywood Blacklist (And 5 Who Could Be Next)

10. Thora Birch Upset One Too Many Folks In Hollywood

Thora Birch has not followed the career trajectory we all expected from her following her breakout role in American Beauty and it might have something to do with the projects that she’s chosen to do.

Maybe she should stick to the writing while she’s on the outs with Hollywood?​​
