Fischer took a short break from Hollywood after having her son, Weston, in 2011. "Plans for my hiatus: Dentist, Eye Doctor, Pilates. #andlotsoftimewithmybaby," the Office star tweeted in March 2012. She has since returned with 2015's You, Me and the Apocalypse and has a recurring role on The Mysteries of Laura.
The former 1980s star (Fast times at Ridgemont High, Gremlins) left the spotlight after starring in the film Princess Caraboo in 1994. "We have agreed to alternate so that we're never working at the same time … [but] whenever it's been her slot to work, Phoebe has chosen to stay with the children," the actress' husband, Kevin Kline, said in a 1998 Playboy interview.
The Never Been Kissed actress left Hollywood in 2012 after shooting the film Branded. "I am just focused on my kids. I think that’s mainly why I stopped,” the New Yorker said in April 2016. She focused on raising her two children, Louisianna and Martin, with husband Adam Kimmel. She has since returned and appeared in 2016's The Last Film Festival.
The former model graced the covers of fashion magazines such as Elle and Marie Claire and walked in the 2000 and 2001 Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows. After having her four children with husband Mark Wahlberg, she left the modeling industry for good in 2006. "I stopped modeling after my son, Michael, was born to stay at home with the kids. I still do that now. I’m a stay-at-home mom,” she said in 2015.
The Oscar-winning actress decided to take a break from Hollywood life in 1995 after starring in the romantic comedy Forget Paris.

She returned to acting in 2001 with her role in the film Big Bad Love.
The Zoey 101 star put her acting career on hold in 2007 when she announced at age 16 that she was pregnant with daughter Maddie. "I was working very hard. I moved to Nashville for a few years, and I was in college for what I wanted to do for the rest of my life — writing, learning, soaking myself in that community," the younger sister to pop star Britney Spears said in June 2016. "Not only that, I was growing as a person, building my confidence, finding my voice." Spears returned to the spotlight in 2013 when she started a career in country music.
