John Wayne had to make movies like crazy as he was in the top bracket and had alimony and such.

John Waynes divorce court transcripts are online. Guy was a horndog. Bedded the ladies as best as anyone. Gary Cooper. yes Sgt York would go to orgies on a regular basis.
Media and the film studios kept their private lives secret back then.

Reagan postponed making movies each year to the next year after he got to the top bracket. IIRC, at the top tax bracket about half went to the federal govt and almost the other half went to the state of California, thus he had no financial incentive to make more money.

He said it was his wake up call to believe in what we today call the Laffer Curve.
