Hollywood loves finding beautiful new actresses. It just isn't very good at keeping them around. During the 60s and 70s, these women starred in huge movies, appeared on magazine covers, and seemed impossible to escape. Then the 80s arrived and Hollywood did what Hollywood always does. It started looking for the next thing. Looking back, some of the actresses it tossed aside are genuinely hard to believe.
