What ever happened to....
Nick Adams, who played Johnny Yuma on "The Rebel" ??
For that matter, what happens to people from TV programs when the program is canceled/expired ??
Can anyone name some and tell me what they did after their show
was gone ??
Thank you.

What ever happened to...
Finding .50 in your winter jacket and thinking you were rich?
Walking to school?
Being afraid you'd get in trouble?
Working for an allowance? (Even if it was just a quarter).
Going and feeding the horses or the livestock?
Going and feeding the chickens (not included in your allowance, because you got breakfast?)
Just plain going outside?
Wondering if your sister was okay?
Being happy to play a game if the power went off?
Actually knowing and liking the neighbor kid?
Honesty and values?
Sitting in a forrest/ravine somewhere, alone, and just being happy no one could find you?
Tree forts?
Scraped knees, banged up fingers and tall stories?
Going outside to play...even if it was raining?
What ever happened to that stuff???0 -
Nick Adams died several years ago at a young age. There's several websites dedicated to "whatever happened to"
Here's one

Actor Nick Adams Dead In Mystery," read the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner headline on Feb. 8, 1968. The story reported:
Nick Adams, 36, who won fame as "The Rebel" on television, was found dead in his Coldwater Canyon home last night under circumstances that puzzled police.
His body, fully clothed, was found in a sitting position beside his bed by his attorney, Ervin "Tip" Roeder. There was no indication as to the cause of death. No weapons or sleeping pills were found. Adams's lawyer told Det. Verne Jones he arrived at the $54,000 Cape Cod style home bordering Beverly Hills about 8 p.m. When no one answered the doorbell, Roeder crawled through a window and discovered the body.
Nick Adams's death was the final, strangest chapter in a life and career that took many unusual turns.
Only 10 years before, a very alive Nick Adams, buoyant with the first major success in his quest for Hollywood stardom, freely related his story to Hollywood columnists. It would be the first, but not the last time Nick reflected on the extreme poverty of his Depression era upbringing, how it impelled him to seek stardom in Hollywood and how he finally broke through.
When it came to self-promotion, there was always a certain elasticity about the facts to Nick, but when he sat down with Hedda Hopper in April 1958, his extensive interview, only a bit of which was used in Hopper's published stories on Nick, carried the ring of truth.0 -
"Johnny Yuma was a Rebel
He rode through the West..."
I used to love watching that show. I had no idea Nick Adams died so young. Found in a sitting position, no guns, no pills? That's weird.0 -

That's easy to answer: Nowadays, they get their own talk show or reality show to stay in the spotlight or jumpstart their flagging careers so they don't have to get a real job. 0
