Fame is a fickle thing. Many stars shine briefly and brightly in the spotlight only to fade fast, while some others experience the slow burn of a long-lasting and successful career. Then there are the few, a very lucky few, who have tumbled (some gracefully, some not so much) from the public eye only to hit the jackpot a second time. Hollywood loves a good comeback story, almost as much as it loves a good career implosion but we want to know what YOU think! So take a look back at some of the most famous second-time 'round success stories...which one do you love the most? Vote now and tell us!

    • I believe Robert Downey jr's comeback was nothing short of impressive! John Travolta's simply took a break, this isnt a comeback, besides he knows how to comeback, he has done it before. Mickey rourke's comeback was also impressive, but it still was more of an onscreen apology and plead. R. D. jr cameback showing us he amazing acting muscle... he is the character actor of recent.

    • I'm going to throw my vote in for John Travolta. After Ladder 49, he just seemed to be out of the spotlight for awhile. Lonely Hearts wasn't too big, but he came back quick with Wild Hogs, Hairspray, and BOLT...and now the Taking of Pelham 123. Combined with the recent and unfortunate loss of his son, I'm surprised he still appears to be coming back strong.
