Jackie Gleason

The Honeymooners has earned its place in Hollywood history, with Jackie Gleason forever remaining the face of a dysfunctional little family. The show surprisingly only had a single season, but that season lasted 39 episodes.

A depiction of the life of a blue-collar man in the workforce, Gleason was able to bring in $70,000 back in the ‘50s which is a heck of a lot by today’s standards. Even so, the actor never saw a single royalty check.
