Lena Headey
Yes, Lena Headey is indeed one of the lucky stars on the epic Game of Thrones. But that doesn’t make her as rich as one might think.
In the years leading up to getting cast on one of the most successful TV-shows of the decade, Lena hadn’t been making the steady high income she enjoys right now. And because of a very messy divorce and custody battle she found herself in a lot of debt, having to sell her house and even considered participating in reality shows to pay the bills.
Suzanne Somers
Suzanne Somers is a beloved cult star from the 70’s, and many remember her from the hit sitcom Three’s Company. She only starred in the show for a year but she became an audience favorite. But Suzanne is a great example of why actors need to stay on producer’s good side.
When leaving in protest because she wanted more money she breached the contract. As a newly wealthy star she found herself struggling to pay legal bills, and getting new offers in the industry with her tainted reputation.
