Look at all these box office success - dont actors make residual income from cable showings and DVD rentals?

I have no alimony payments so maybe I am unclear as to the extent of that burden but it is harder to imagine someone like RW under such financial pressures.

Many other films had RW in various roles but he does not appear in the credits. Dead Again was very good - RW is a ex-therapist working as a store clerk advising Kenneth Branaugh in his realization that he is a reincarnated person - very good flick.

Well, he had multiple divorces, and rich people tend to get hit very hard when it comes to alimony. The alimony is generally set at a level to keep the other partner in a similar lifestyle to whatever they were in at the time of the divorce, and that usually doesn’t change if the alimony payer’s income drops off.

Of course, he also had kept a multimillion dollar estate and had a well known drug problem, so those could have contributed more than the alimony payments to his situation, who knows?
