This is dumb thread. And arguably Jamie Foxx is the biggest star to come out of In Living Color.

No Jim Carrey was bigger than all of them & his paycheck proved it.

Nope, JLo definitely topped them all if you look at her brand across different media, her staying power and current marketability- but she peaked a few years ago.

She could still command millions running cosmetic ads for L’Oreal well into the next decade.

Who cares about fuckin Loreal?

That's not entertainment.

Why not just come out & say Fabio is bigger than most of the In Living Color cast then?

R1, And Carol Burnett's career longevity far surpasses that of Vicki Lawrence.

by Anonymousreply 6January 3, 2021 12:03 PM

You might think, r1, or even Jim Carrey. But according to "Celebrity Net Worth," the net worth of JLo surpasses theirs...combined.

Who knew.....

That the Vice-President could indeed succeed where the Secretary of State had not.

That, of all the Spaniards in all the world, Hilaria Baldwin isn't one of them.

I've been saying for years no one would think Sly Stone and George Clinton would outlive Prince and Michael Jackson.

Who knew that the biggest star from Eight is Enough would be the tomboy girl?

R14 are you referring to the red hair bitch - Susan Richardson OR the show’s lesbian character Mary Bradford played by the late great Lani O’ Grady??

Jim Carrey was a FAR bigger movie star than JLo. Granted, it was for a few years a long time ago. But he was A+++ list for awhile in the mid-'90s and JLo never achieved that, in spite of her "music" and her drugstore perfume.

Watching The Facts of Life when it was on in first run episodes, I would have never suspected that George Clooney would have become an A list movie star.

I always thought Nancy McKeon would have been the one out of all of them to have the biggest career.

Melissa McCarthy ending up the biggest star to come out of Gilmore Girls was pretty surprising

Or that Lyle Waggoner would have become a mogul redefining set trailers.

Who knew that Michelle Williams from Dawson's Creek would become a major movie star and 'beauty'.

Who knew that Kylie Jenner would become the wealthiest Kardashian by doing the absolute least and having someone use her name to sell a product.

Damon Wayans was actually the one who was predicted to be the big breakout star from In Living Color. And he was initially with The Last Boy Scout and Mo Money.

But he was the one who was expected to have the career that Jim Carrey and Jamie Foxx ultimately had.

R23, even watching Dawson’s Creek as a teenager, I remember thinking Michelle Williams was a much better actor than anyone on the show save for Mary Beth Peil.

Eve Plumb should have had a Susan Dey type career resurgance in the late 80's.

Watching The Brady Bunch, you can tell she's the most accomplished child actor on that show.

by Anonymousreply 32January 3, 2021 7:14 PM

Eve Plumb sealed her fate accepting The Middle Chile of middle child roles. Nobody cares about the middle one, R32. She had to leave the business or find another middle child role. Fuck off, Jan.
