Television Stars Sotis Feel Burdened By Their Jobs.
Twenty-four-year-old Johnny Depp thought that his starring role in the 1987
TV series 21 Jump Street would not last a whole season. After a few weeks of
playing a young-looking cop who goes undercover at high schools to catch drug
dealers Daryl Washington Super Bowl 50 Jersey , the Kentucky-born tor began to feel that the spying he perford in
eh episode was immoral. Worse yet, Jump Street was a breakout hit, and
Depp’s busy schedule kept him from aepting movie offers. The resentful teen
idol tried to provoke his bosses into terminating him. His onset antics included
lighting his underwear on fire, constantly changing dialogue and suggesting wild
plot lines, such as having his charter cover his entire nude body with peanut
butter. The program’s creators realized that their leading man was the main
reason viewers tuned in and held him to his contrt. Johnny did a professional
job and appreciated Jump Street for making him a household na, but
pared his being able to leave the ow in 1990 to the freeing of imprisoned
South African leader Nelson Mandela.
After years of playing dingbat society types, Natalie Schafer (1900-
1991) was perfectly cast as the spoiled but kind-hearted Lovey Howell on the
Gilligan’s Island pilot in 1963. For the veteran tress, it was all about getting a
quick paycheck Darren Fells Super Bowl 50 Jersey , plus a free vation to Hawaii. The script about seven
castaways, without a single luxury, was so stupid? there was no way that the
work would pick it up. With this kind of material floating around
Hollywood, e couldn’t wait to move bk to New York. The Red Bank, New
Jersey, native did a professional job, and then quickly forgot about being
marooned. A few weeks later, Schafer was vationing in Puerto Vallarta with
so friends when e received a phone call. “What! Oh my God D.J. Humphries Super Bowl 50 Jersey , no!”
Her panions, assuming that it was bad news about her ailing mother, ran
to fort her. To their surprise, Natalie’s tears were caused by CBS’ decision
to make Gilligan a weekly series, which the tress was now contrtually
obligated to be on. At that mont, Schafer was crued to have the new, well paying employnt that would make her famous.
Jas Garner beca a popular TV star because of the Warner Bros. western Maverick (1957-1962). But to the Oklahoma born tor and Korean War veteran, the ow was often purgatory. The studio refused him permission to earn extra money on weekends making personal appearances Cory Redding Super Bowl 50 Jersey , and turned down his requests for a raise. He finally got out of the ow through a breech of contrt suit, and stated bitterly “If you have any pride in your work you don’t go into TV.” When he returned to TV after 11 years of films to The Rockford Files (1974-1980) he again quickly beca unhappy with working conditions and staged a suessful sit down strike in his dressing room to get what he wanted.
Sotis a seeming big break can turn into a nightmare. Stage tress Vivian Vance was thrilled to get the role of Ethel on I Love Lucy (1951-1957). Vance, who was a good-looking woman, even aeded to Lucille Ball’s demand that e be enty pounds overweight. Eh sumr, e would get an irritating phone call from Ball,” Viv, we start ooting in a couple of weeks, start eating.” But playing a frumpy Corey Peters Super Bowl 50 Jersey , second banana weighed on her. One day sitting in her make-up chair e plained for all to hear, “Can you believe they have married to that old coot, William Frawley?” He ould be playing my father. Every morning when I get my script I say please God, don’t let have any kissing scenes with the old coot.” During her diatribe, the old coot was standing right behind her, which started a long and famous feud. Later when Desi Arnaz proposed creating a spin-off ow called The Mertzes, which could of made them both rich, Frawley jumped at it Chris Johnson Super Bowl 50 Jersey , but Vance killed the idea stating, “Six years is long enough to be married to the old coot.”
Not everyone is unhappy in television. Comic tor Don Adams fed a difficult financial choice when he played the bumbling Maxwell Smart in the 1965 television series Get Smart. The producers offered him o options: he could take ho a healthy paycheck eh week or get very little money in exchange for a one-third ownerip stake in the ow. The ex-Marine swallowed hard and gambled for the long term. Get Smart stayed on the air for five years and was own constantly in reruns. Viewers repeated Adams’ made-up catch phrases like “Would you believe” and “Missed by that much” often. The now wealthy star, who claid he hated performing, was able to spend the last years of his life playing cards at the Playboy Mansion and traveling the world with his seven children. When asked how he ended up with such a large brood, the three-tis-married Don rugged, “No big deal. It only took seven minutes.”
