Brett Butler

Brett Butler is not just your ordinary actress. She is also a writer and stand-up comedian. The 62-year-old star’s shot to stardom began when she did the ABC comedy series Grace Under Fire, which also earned her two Golden Globe nominations. But despite her success, Butler was said to be the best example of a case of riches to rags. From getting credit for being an A-list celebrity, Butler ended up living in a shelter. Her bad vices took a toll on her financial status, not to mention her fame. It resulted in the end of her remarkable career. Eventually, she lost all her money.

In 2008, Butler made headlines at an art fundraising event and freely corrected her depression, past drug use, TV work and current farm life with reporters. She also expressed interest in writing another book. Fortunately, Butler is now doing okay today. She is back in the business, playing small roles here and there, but it is quite far from where she used to be.
