Any aspiring actor dreams of the day they will pull in million-dollar sums for starring in a movie. It’s the ultimate goal for anyone looking to make it big in Hollywood, but even the most successful stars aren’t always guaranteed to pull in extraordinarily high numbers.
In some cases, the last contracts of iconic stars aren’t anywhere near as much as they once were. Studio titans like Sony may not be as inclined to pay someone seven figures if they aren’t pulling in the crowds anymore. On the flip side, some huge names were just getting started when they were cut down in their prime, proving that nothing is certain in the entertainment business.
Regardless of the circumstances, the sad fact is that there’s a last contract on the horizon for any actor – and it may be sooner than they thought. From Audrey Hepburn to the late, great Elizabeth Taylor and Sean Connery, even Hollywood legends can’t work forever.
