13 classic TV stars who found success after leaving Hollywood. Most actors who leave the business don't leave by choice. The phone stops ringing, the parts get smaller, and they spend the rest of their lives signing photographs at conventions. These thirteen did something else entirely.
One walked out of the number one comedy on television over a contract and spent the next forty years as a working financier. One traded a sheriff's badge for a real one and was shot three times chasing a suspect through Los Angeles. One turned a white hat into six hundred roast beef restaurants. One bought the radio stations, the television stations and a baseball team. And one went from Hollywood's biggest child star to the American ambassador in Prague the week the regime fell.
From Davy Crockett and Bonanza to MASH, Leave It to Beaver, Gunsmoke, Hawaii Five-O, The Beverly Hillbillies and The Mickey Mouse Club, these are the stars whose second acts outgrew the first.
