12 Classic TV Stars Who Got Famous Without ANY Acting Talent

#ClassicTV #HollywoodHistory #OldHollywood 12 classic TV stars who got famous without ANY acting talent. They were stiff, flat, monotone or just plain wooden, and the critics said so for decades. They also became some of the most recognisable faces in American television history, and most of them understood exactly why better than their reviewers did. From The Ed Sullivan Show and Charlie's Angels to Batman, Dragnet, Cheyenne, The Rifleman, The Lone Ranger, Daniel Boone and Hawaii Five-O, these are the household names who could not really act, and did not need to. One of them was a newspaper columnist who ran the biggest stage in America for 23 years. One made more from a single poster than from an entire season of the number one show on television. One noticed that Hollywood trailers were terrible and quietly built an empire renting better ones. This is the story of the thing television actually rewards, which is not acting.
