Have you ever wondered what happened to some of your favorite TV/movie stars who seemed to just disappear after a while?
Here are some answers:

Butch Patrick (Eddy Munster in "The Munsters") - lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, and sells 'Woof Woof' dolls online.

Jon Provost (Timmy Martin in "Lassie") - after earning a psychology degree from Sonoma State University, became a real estate salesman.

Keshia Knight Pulliam (Rudy Huxtable in "The Cosby Show") - earned a sociology degree from Spelman College in 2000.

Tommy Rettig (Jeff Miller in "Lassie") - after many arrests for drug addiction in the 70s, he became a computer industry pioneer and died of arteriosclerosis in 1996.

Fred Savage (Kevin Arnold in "The Wonder Years") - currently attending Stanford University.

Tommy Kirk ("Mickey Mouse Club" and "Old Yeller") - owns and operates a carpet and upholstery business.

Jeremy Licht (Mark Hogan in "Valerie's Family" and "The Hogans") - Owns and Operates JL Capital Management (an investment firm).

Stanley Livingston (Chip Douglas in "My Three Sons") produces and directs children's educational videos.

Haywood Nelson (Dwayne Nelson in "What's Happening?") - operates a Scientology website.

Jay North ("Dennis The Menace") - was the voice of Bamm-Bamm Rubble in "The Flintstones" during the 70s; now works in a health food store.

More to come..........

I didn't see this when it was first posted, but I think it's great! Any more to add?

As I've said before, I'm really curious to know what's happened to the "Little House on the Prairie" actors - anyone have any ideas?

Here's what I learned so far (if anyone has corrections or additions to my info, let me know):

Alison Arngrim (Nellie) - very vocal in the AIDS Awareness circles. Does stand-up comedy.

Matthew Laborteaux (Albert - and my all-time fave ) - works for Disney

Patrick Laborteaux (Andy) - on JAG

Jonathon Gilbert (Willie) - stockbroker in NY

Katherine MacGregor (Mrs. Oleson) - teaches drama but didn't act on any more shows

Anyone else you know of?

Don't know if this is of any interest to anyone other than a football/soccer fan, but Alan Taylor, (scorer of the two goals, for West Ham, that beat Fulham in the 1975 FA Cup Final), runs a newsagents on Dereham Road in Norwich.

I'll say 'hi' for you, next time I pick up 'The Sun'.

The above, not strictly a tv/movie star, but here's one for ya......

When I was a taxi-driver in Lincoln, Peter Adamson (Len Fairclough in Coronation St.), used to be a regular customer.

After his much publicised 'child-abuse' case, he became a drunken hermit, living in a bed-sit. We used to take him from his place to the off-liscence and back.
