Where are the stars of the new Hollywood? Actors and actresses who played the sky and were very famous, and even some had Oscar nominations or won, and suddenly fall into oblivion. This list is inspired by the great book '' Disappeared in combat '' by Miguel Ángel Prieto (which from here I recommend openly). I have made a selection of the most charismatic actors, updating them, and I have added a few that are not in the book because they are later that also deserve the honor of being on this list. I hope you like and I am excited about this list as I did the book when I read it at the time.
