Ten million dollars after I'd become a star I was deeply in debt.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I invested all my money in debt.
I was a 10 million-plus selling artist.
I put $5 million into the real-estate business when the world was coming to an end, and three years later, by 1980, I woke up and was worth a hundred. That's a lot of money back then.
I guess I've always lived the glamorous life of a star. It 's nothing new - I used to spend down to the last dime.
Part of the $10 million I spent on gambling, part on booze and part on women. The rest I spent foolishly.
I took a route of acting, rather than starmaking, so it cost me a lot financially.
If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies - and I have a nice house, a nice car. I'm fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good.
People say I owe a lot to television. The fact is I was a star long before television. What TV made me is unemployed.
I had more money than I could spend in million lifetimes.
I'm not a wealthy person because I was never a star. I was a working actor and a supporting actor.
