Willie Aames

Willie Aames used to be a big name in the 1970s. He is an American actor, film and TV director, TV producer and screenwriter. He was one of the cast members of the mega-hit TV series Eight is Enough. From one show to another, the 60-year-old star made a lot of TV series and movies back then. He was seen on Charles in Charge and was part of Bibleman and Paradise. However, despite the success, bad investment in a coal mine made the actor fall to the ground.

His supposed business left him millions of dollars poorer. From a teen heartthrob, he became bankrupt. As a film and TV director, TV producer, and screenwriter, Aames used to earn about $1.6 million a year without a sweat. Sadly, those days were gone, and he even ended up owing the IRS $400,000 of unpaid taxes.
