There is the same pattern with all those young actresses that Hollywood producers try to happen by picking them up and starting casting in everything.
They plays teens and young adults. Then they turn 25-28 and age out of roles of school-girls or young romantic interest. And then it's either they have talent, charisma and transcend to adult roles a-la Kate Winslet, Johhanson. Portman, Jolie, Barrymore, Lawrence etc.
Or they don't have talent and public doesn't care about them so they stopped being cast as they are too old for school girls and new 22-years old replaces them as Young Romantic Interest of main character. And they just vanish overnight. Like here with Julia Stiles, Hilary Duff, Vanessa Hudgens, Rachael Leigh Cook, Ali Larter, Shannon Elizabeth, Eliza Dushku etc.
For example Chloë Grace Moretz is 26 and aged out of roles of school girls and is on the verge of vanishing. They did cast her in lead roles as young adult in movies and tv shows. But she is boring, can't act and public simply don't care about her. So she is about to be stopped cast as lead.
Now Hollywood tries to push Rachel Zegler as New Teen Star. By suddenly casting her in everything. They would try this for few years before giving up.
There is a third category. Those who were lucky to marry A-list star and so they get free publicity and are "kinda there" in everyone's faces and occasionally even get cast in something. Jessica Biel married Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Garner married Ben Affleck.
