Harrison Ford was a carpenter I believe.

I've always wanted to be an actor so my side job is cleaning undies and helping the public (not at the same time, though)

There's a rumor floating around he used to make furniture with hidden compartments to hide marijuana.  Sounds pretty plausible for the era really.

Rupert Grint, Ron from Harry Potter, use his Potter money to buy an ice cream truck and did a route of selling that for quite a while.  It was something he always wanted to do apparently.

Peter Weller in his 50s got a phd and became an art historian, switching between that and acting at different times.

Sir Christopher Lee, of course, was a commando in WW2. He also released a heavy metal album late in life.

You can also get a candle that smells like her vagina, and apparently the employees had to sniff her to formulate.  Yeah.  Paltrow is like the definition of "Hollyweird".

Paul Newman's Spaghetti Sauce.
I don't think he invented it- but it's got his name! I'm sure he had investments!
My Ma was married to Tony Boccabella longer than she was my Dad. I didn't know him that well. I kew his 80 year old father better. He drank wine and watched wrestling. "Bruno Samartino!" and shake his fists. He knew very little english. I liked him!
ANYWAY! My Ma made the best spahgetti  sauce I ever had. It took 2 days to make it!
We had about 15 f**king greaseballs in the house that night! All they talked about which deli had the best bread. And the word "f**k", or a form of it, every other word.
Not bad folks- just real LOUD!  :drink:
