11. Margot Kidder

Some of you may remember Margot Kidder’s public breakdown in 1996 when she disappeared for a few days and actually became a street person. She was found in a horrible state and placed into psychiatric care. Speaking of one of her many episodes, she said:

I was like one of those ladies you see talking to the space aliens on the street corner in New York.

The actress has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and recently claimed that she had not had a manic episode in more than 15 years. However, managing the condition has not always been easy.

For instance, bipolar disorder cost her three marriages, all of which failed due to her episodes and addictions. Moreover, Kidder was involved in a serious car accident that left her partially paralyzed and almost bankrupt. Needless to say that her behavior was frequently in the media spotlight.
