Robert Downey Jr.
Once a successful actor, Downey Jr. fought with substance abuse and embarassing tabloid headlines. However today he bounced back with films like Iron Man and Tropic Thunder.
Mariah Carey
After an emotional meltdown and a movie and album flop, no one expected Mariah to come back in a big way but she did just that with the biggest selling album of the year; The Emancipation of Mimi.
Drew Barrymore
The once troubled teen star Barrymore battled with her addiction with drugs which overshadowed when she was once a lovable childstar. She is however now a hugely successful actress and director.
Mickey Rourke
Critics wrote him off as a has-been leaving acting for a career in boxing and having surgery to reconstruct his once good looks. He came back in a huge way with the movie The Wrestler recieving critical acclaim.
Jennifer Hudson
After losing American Idol, she could of sat at home and given up on Hollywood. However, she did the opposite when she was cast in the movie Dream Girls, earning an Oscar for her performance.
All are successful at the moment but at one time their careers were pronounced dead by critics. However, they would come back in a big way. Which celebrity had the most remarkable of these comebacks?
I could have chosen just about everyone of these, but Downey especially is a success story with his recovery and climbing back out of a hole of despair. But then so did a good share of the others.
I would say Drew in terms of comeback. It was a tie between her and Jennifer H in my head, but Jennifer is more reinventing herself (not coming back), you don't "comeback" from losing weight. She only made herself more marketable and healthy. As for Drew she beat addiction from CHILDHOOD, with a family history of drug and alcohol abuse (she was a drunk by the time she was eight). She quit and got rehab and has never back slid (unlike mostly everyone else on your list has at some point) So I say Drew.
I don't really like Brit anymore, but as a kid I did. I think she made a great comeback after shaving her head and everything she made many "hit" songs.
Yeah I'm not a fan of her's but her manager really steered her on the right path and turned her career around. I remember the frenzy surrounding all her antics and all the frontline headlines she would make.
It's crazy to think about considering how big he once was. Leaving acting for boxing was a huge risk. It took a toll on his appearance because of the inuries he sustained in the ring.
Crap -.- I meant to click Robert Downy Jr.
But between both him and Drew Barrymore;
To come out of a drug addiction and take the world by storm is a big deal (:
It's like falling into a hole, breaking all of your limbs, but still powering through and taking on the world!

The way she was able to battle such an adversity at such a young age is one of the reasons why she is one of my favorite actresses. It's remarkable how much she has matured and how successful she is now compared to her lowest point.
