Calista Flockhart never set out to become a star, but that's exactly what happened when she got her big break in the late 1990s with the popular legal drama Ally McBeal. Flockhart starred as the titular character, a woman who ends up working at the same law firm as her ex-boyfriend and has to deal with all of the personal and professional drama that ensues. Ally McBeal won Golden Globe and Emmy awards, and the show ran for five seasons, keeping audiences hooked with its eccentric characters, surreal sequences, and biting humor.

Flockhart went on to appear in the series Brothers & Sisters and Supergirl. But despite having roles in several successful shows under her belt, she seems to be missing in action lately. She hasn't appeared in any films or TV shows in 2019, and she's not working on any projects that are currently in production. So where is Calista Flockhart, and what has she been up to in recent years? Here's why she's lying low and taking an extended vacation from Hollywood.

I'll just flat out say that she became so dangerous thin/anorexic with a great deal of bad publicity over it that it spoiled her TV series and ruined her career.

I'm not sure if you can really blame her Anorexia for her career stalling. Do some RESEARCH and you'll learn that she has said many times, "I think my priorities have changed a lot. My family is very important to me... I like to get home for dinner. I like working in L.A. That's pretty much it."

Not to mention, hooking up with Harrison Ford wasn't such a bad move either; Between the two of them, they are millionaires many times over.
