It's difficult to make a name for oneself in Hollywood. However, once someone does manage to reach a certain point in their career in the entertainment industry, it's not uncommon to see them expend an immense amount of effort to try to stay relevant. In other words, it's rare to see a famous entertainer willingly give up their Hollywood status, which likely comes with a lot of dollar signs.

Phoebe Cates Kline happened to be among the few that quit the industry that gave them their Hollywood status. Because Phoebe Cates decided to remove herself from the entertainment industry, however, doesn't mean that she still isn't worth a fortune.
