12 Dumbest Classic TV Stars Who Bankrupted Themselves Part 2

They earned more money in a single year than most families see in a lifetime, and they still ended up standing in front of a bankruptcy judge. Some trusted the wrong husband. Some bought basketball teams, movie theater chains and shopping centers they knew nothing about. Some simply never imagined the money could stop. And a few were not foolish at all, just unlucky, betrayed or ill. A teen idol whose bankruptcy papers listed one hundred dollars in cash and an old sports car. An Oscar winner whose gold plated Cadillac was taken along with the rights to his own music. A Hollywood legend who earned about twelve million dollars, then told a court he had five hundred left. A TV sitcom star who sold off the rights to his own rerun checks.

Larry King was arrested in 1971 on a grand larceny charge, but the charges were dropped. Tammy Wynette's representatives maintained that the loan at the center of her bankruptcy had been repaid, and that problems at the failed savings and loan were to blame. The exact year of Zsa Zsa Gabor's bankruptcy filing varies between sources. The cause of Dorothy Dandridge's death was disputed between authorities. Margot Kidder's financial collapse followed a serious car accident and a bipolar disorder diagnosis, not reckless spending alone. No claims are made beyond what is stated in the sources. #ClassicTV #OldHollywood #TVHistory #HollywoodScandals #Nostalgia
