Passive Earning: $0 per year
Maureen McCormick was a TV commercial actress before landing her role on The Brady Bunch. It is a series that features an intriguing family living in the 1960s and 1970s. In an interview recently, the staff made their concerns known about not earning any form of residual income from the sitcom.
They noted they had tried countless times to have their contract renegotiated, but the residual clause in the contract is quite locked. It only grants them a small fee whenever a part of the series is aired in other movies – and a small one at that! So basically, they earn nothing from the reruns. This is certainly a message to all actors – READ YOUR CONTRACT CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING! If you don’t understand it, get some professional help
