Some of these are still really young and still might have great careers ahead of them. If you want actresses that quickly faded away after a few good/solid performances, how about:

Donna Wilkes https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0929160/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_1_nm_7_in_0_q_Donna%20Wilkes

Felice Schachter https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0769516/?ref_=tt_cst_t_4

Phoebe Cates https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000121/?ref_=tt_cst_t_6

Mary Wickes (Great and long career as a supporting actress, but she stole the show in just about every role she played) https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0926897/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_Mary%20Wilkes

Hayley Mills https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001539/?ref_=tt_cst_t_1

There are several actresses whose careers ended because they were murdered or had terminal illnesses. Who knows what great things they might have gone on to do. Rebecca Schaeffer, Dominique Dunne, and Heather O'Rourke come immediately to mind.

Thanks for the suggestions! I understand your point about some of the actresses still being young and potentially having more opportunities ahead of them. I was mainly focusing on actresses whose careers, in my opinion, didn't reach the level they seemed capable of, rather than actresses whose careers completely ended. I'll definitely consider some of these suggestions for a future poll.
