8. Semi-Retirement
After the 1967 film Wait Until Dark, the star decided to leave acting for a moment in order to spend more time with family. She had to turn down several leading roles in Oscar-winning films such as One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, The Exorcist, and The Turning Point. After eight years away, Audrey made her big screen comeback in the 1976 romantic film Robin and Marian.
