48. James Allan

James Allan, a Glasvegas singer, gave fans (and bandmates) quite a scare when he went missing for several days in September 2009. After Allan failed to appear at the Mercury Awards, where Glasvegas was scheduled to perform, word spread around the world that he had vanished. The Scottish singer was initially reported to be ill, but behind the scenes, everyone was concerned. James Allan informed Glasvegas’ manager that he was fine five days later. He was reportedly in New York City, though it’s unclear why he flew from Europe to America. A few days later, Allan joined Glasvegas in Boston, where the band opened for Kings of Leon.

49. Margot Kidder

Margot Kidder, the actress who played Superman, went missing for four days in April 1996 before being found in a stranger’s backyard in Glendale, California. Kidder was discovered filthy and disoriented, having had “the most public freak-out in history,” according to reports. Her two front teeth were missing, and she was delusional. Kidder later admitted to having bipolar disorder, but she refused to take any of the medications prescribed for it. Kidder said she became increasingly paranoid during her breakdown, believing that her first husband and the CIA were “trying to kill” her at one point.
