Alicia Silverstone reveals fame 'didn't feel as fun' anymore during her Hollywood career break

The "Clueless" star Alicia Silverstone shifted from Hollywood fame to activism and writing health books after struggling with the pressures of being an it girl.

"I think there was a time where it didn't feel as fun, and then I was so engaged in activism and writing my books, ‘The Kind Diet,’ ‘The Kind Mama.’ Then, having a baby and being a present mommy." Janelle Ash is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to janelle.ash@fox.com.

"I've been working all along, but then I at some point realized, ‘Wait, I really love acting’ and I was starting to do a lot of theater. I'd been doing tons of stuff. Many Broadway shows and many theater productions, and I think I found my joy in it and thought, 'Let's do this, let's do it.' You can do it all, but you have to do it carefully. It is very difficult," Silverstone said.
