Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke started his career as a boxer, but he ended up branching out to become an actor when he realized that netted him more attention and cash. When the cash began flowing, Rourke started taking tons of drugs, drinking, throwing extravagant parties, and accruing massive amounts of debt. Rourke has never been able to recover from his wild expenditures.
Courtney Love
Since Courtney Love was connected to Kurt Cobain, she was relatively well off when he died. She started her own band, Belly, which didn't see much success. The lack of cash added stress to her life, and she relapsed, which then led to her selling the rights to the Nirvana songs that she owned. Nowadays, Courtney Love is doing much better, and she has been sober and successful for quite some time.
