It's rather sad to see William Shatner, Pat Boone, Tom Selleck and Charlie Sheen reduced to selling stuff;(
Hollywood is over!
Your post reminds me of how sad it was that Rosemary Clooney spent her latter years singing about toilet paper.
Just TV actors anyway.
Joe Namath isn’t looking so good.
I kind of like Suzy Kolber because she could have destroyed Joe’s life after the drunken “kiss me” incident, but chose not to.
Shatner made millions on Priceline. Can’t blame him a bit.
Shatner was smart. He took an equity stake in the company.
My mom has a neighbor whos husband died of a heart attack the reverse mortgage saved her from losing her home she has no house payment AND she continues to have her home I dont think a reverse mortgage is a horrible thing!!!
And the Pinky and the Brain parody is the cleaned up version so is Safe For Work.
Also a good life lesson.
Vincent Price and the bug zapper commercials. Hilarious!
There is a self-effacing quality to his commercials, like the whole thing is one big wink at the camera, that really works.
Shatner told a story once about how back in the late 1990's this obscure little internet starup company approached him about doing commercials, but said they had no cash and could only pay him in stock. He said, "Why not?" and did the commercials, that company was priceline.com and in the early 2000's their stock shot over 50 times what it was worth when Shatner received it. At one time, on paper at least it was worth close to $350 million. Unfortunately Shatner said he held it too long and sold it after the value had dropped considerably, but he still ended up making more than he made from every single Star Trek movie and TV show he ever did.
Nothing sad about it,it’s capitalism———been going on for years.

Here is the opposite; a non-actor appearing in a movie. Here's Donald Trump in Home Alone 2.
What is he hawking...drug rehab centers?
He appears in his dad’s commercial for a pharmacy discount app.
June Allyson did commercials for Depends for several years.

Have to see how it goes. It’s a “loan”, whatever they call it.
I know someone thrown out of her home (with an RM) after her husband died. It’s going to depend on the specifics.
You can bank on the fact that there wouldn’t be Sharks and the FedGov in this, if there wasn’t boatloads of cash in it. The cash is coming from the property owned by these seniors.
My bet is that the seniors get pennies on the dollar to convert their house into food.
