It's a sad day for those of us that remember the old television series Tarzan. Gordon Scott, the actor who played the character in the title role died at age 80. I guess what kind of surprises me, and doesn't all at once is that a man who acted in so many movies and even had a role in a movie alongside Sean Connery spent the end of his life living in a respectible, but working-class area in Baltimore. It just isn't the 'Hollywood' style you'd expect. We see so many high-dollar actors living the 'rich life' that it's hard to imagine that probably 90% of the actors/actresses never make much more than minimum wage, at least not for long enough to make it count, and live just like us.
Then again, even those that live the 'Hollywood' lifestyle have to make millions just to live like 'regular' folk considering the price of housing in the 90210 and surrounding aress. A simple little three bedroom house like you'd see on just about any street in the US can cost as much as 3 million dollars in LA.
