What I mean is that actors/actresses who seemed bitter about the roles that brought them fame. For example:
Eve Plumb - This of course depends on your own point of view being that it's already well established that she and her Brady Bunch sister Maureen McCormick don't get along too well as of late. And it could have more to to with Plumb not necessarily having sentimental feelings about her time on The Brady Bunch like everybody else.

Gary Coleman - In fairness, he was understandably angry about his parents and handlers stealing much of his earnings. He never had any pretense about being a leading man and was quite aware of his limitations in the business due to his ethnicity, physical stature, and looks. When he became a security guard, it was the media and public that made a big deal about that - he wasn't embarrassed and saw it as a necessity.

Tina Louise

Priscilla Barnes - She has gone on record in saying that her time on Three's Company was the worst time of her life. Meanwhile, both Joyce DeWitt and Norman Fell were from my understanding not exactly bitter about their roles, but rather their treatment by the producers of Three's Company. Fell was always mad because he was pushed to do The Ropers and didn't want to lose a sure thing. He agreed to do it, if he could come back and the producers said, he could if the show didn't last so many episodes and it went like two or three episodes over the amount. DeWitt liked her role but felt the producers didn't value her contribution to the show at all.

Vivian Vance

Gary Burghoff

Scott Baio - I don't know for sure if Baio is bitter about Happy Days or Charles in Charge per se or is simply just seemingly bitter in general.

Jay North

Janet Hubert - She has virtually spent the past 20 years or so painting her ex-Fresh Prince of Bel-Air co-star, Will Smith as the devil incarnate.

David Boreanaz apparently doesn't like to talk about Buffy and Angel, because he believes the showrunners screwed him over with royalties from these shows. Same goes for Kevin Sorbo and his Hercules (and Xena) show.

Jennette McCurdy apparently hates Dan Schneider with a passion because of the shows she worked for him for Nickelodeon. Sam and Cat had like 40 episodes in its one and only season and then Dan and/or Nick canceled it.

Lisa Bonet - The woman has been conspicuously absent from various Cosby Show reunions.

John Amos - Bitter over the (perceived) minstrelization of Good Times, and over his pay. Also - Ester Rolle had similar issues.

Max Baer - Hated that he was known for nothing more than playing Jethro on The Beverly Hillbillies.

Richard Dawson - He would allegedly rage at anyone who would dare mention Hogan's Heroes.

Susan Dey - generally shuns any reference to the Partridge Family, including not participating in the Today show reunion in 2010.

Eve Plum is a much better actress she went on to better roles. For these stars it was hard to avoid typecasting.

you're wrong about Gary Burghoff; he loved playing Radar on MASH. And Tina Louise changed her attitude about GILLIGANS ISLAND when her daughter became a fan of it. Also Max Baer changed his attitude about THE BEVERLY HILLBILIES a while ago.

Sometimes I think an actor/actress has good reason to be bitter and resentful about a certain role and sometimes they don't. It depends on the situation.

George Lindsey shunned the Goober character for a long time and Adam West did the same with Batman.

Concerning Jennette McCurdy. It seems like nearly from the moment Sam and Cat first started on TV there was all this talk and rumors that she and Ariana Grande didn't get along and strongly disliked each other. And I seem to remember they both said stuff in interviews that seemed to confirm that to be true so I thought that was part of the reason the show was cancelled. Also, I seem to remember that somehow some pictures McCurdy took of herself in nothing but her bra and panties that were only meant to be seen by her boyfriend got hacked and made public. And since Sam And Cat was a show aimed mostly at kids Nickelodeon was understandably upset about that since the pictures were obviously not what you'd call family friendly. And I thought that was also part of the reason the show was cancelled. But maybe I'm wrong about all that. Anybody else know anything about it?

Pernell Roberts - Adam Cartwright on Bonanza: Pernell was disappointed with the series and took the opportunity to leave. Highly critical of the scripts when talking about the show. This was his rise to fame, and it would be many years before finally landing his own series (Trapper John MD).

I've heard that Hervé Villechaize became quite bitter about "Fantasy Island" after he was fired and he went into drunken fits when it showed up on his TV.

Norman Lovett - Holly the ship's computer on Red Dwarf. Norman evidently butted heads with the show's creators many times. He stopped playing Holly after Series 2 after a salary dispute, returned for Series 7 and 8, but listening to his DVD commentary for Series 8 you could tell he didn't like the show, at least those two later Series.
He was told he would be returning for Back To Earth, but then at the last second told he wasn't, so in 2009 he swore he would never return to the show. But then, it seems he has made up with show creator Doug Naylor, and will be returning for Series XII.

Pernell Roberts - Adam Cartwright on Bonanza: Pernell was disappointed with the series and took the opportunity to leave. Highly critical of the scripts when talking about the show. This was his rise to fame, and it would be many years before finally landing his own series (Trapper John MD).

Yes, and I doubt he found "Trapper John MD" to be that much better than "Bonanza." I know I don't.

George Lindsey shunned the Goober character for a long time and Adam West did the same with Batman.
If he hated Goober so much why did he play him on Hee Haw for another 20 years?

Actually he only played Goober on HH for four years until he started using his real name for the rest of the run although later in life he eventually embraced Goober.

Question for George: How much did you enjoy playing the role of Goober?

George: Well I played it like 17 years. I guess I enjoyed it a lot. He was an easy character to play.

Question for George: What was the best part of the whole experience for you?

George: Lunch. Of course I had a great character, I loved playing him, and I was working. You’re not acting if you’re not working.

Question for George: People love you and identify you as Goober Pyle.

George: I said to someone that I didn’t know where I started and Goober ended or where Goober started and I ended. I became that person.

Question: Being such a lovable character, I’m sure people must approach you as Goober. Does that annoy you or do you embrace it?

George: I like it. They say, ‘Hey, Goober.’

Mo'Nique (and this doesn't necessarily have to do with her work on The Parkers to keep within the subject) is shaping up to just like a Janet Hubert at the end of the day. Bitter, angry and holding on to a decades-old grudge based on one brief period in her life.

Whether her grievances are legitimate or not no longer matters. She's letting this define and destroy her. If she wasn't blackballed before, she definitely is now.

How could I know? I never met any of these people.


I don't think the OP is assuming you or anyone know this from personal experience. We can all read interviews and make our own judgments on who is bitter, however.

Suzanne got a little too big for her britches but it wasn't her decision to leave the show. She was fired and then blackballed for most of the 80's. I don't think she's bitter about the show...just the way she left.

Christopher Eccleston played the Doctor in Doctor Who for just one series in 2005. He says he left due to show politics, refused to return for the show's 50th anniversary when asked, and doesn't participate in any show related projects. Some speculate he left because he didn't want to be typecast, he's known in the UK for doing indie movies and gritty drama.

Elizabeth Montgomery would stare down anyone who asked her to wiggle her nose. Whereas Barbara Eden was always happy to cross arms and shut her eyes.

Jane Curtain didn't speak well of SNL for years. The women were treated so horribly back when it first started.

Milton Berle was bitter to his dying day for agreeing to the clause in his NBC contract that prevented him from ever having a future show on a competing network.

Jim Backus got nothing in residuals from Gilligan's Island, and was notoriously bitter about it.

I don't blame Jane. Looking back on the first 5 years now, it looks bad and dated. SNL was never female friendly.

One can say that just about anything decades old is "dated". And of course, a show that did a lot of current topical comedy is going to be more susceptible to this because of its nature.

Farrah left CA because her husband; Lee Majors wanted her to.

Actually, Fawcett left on her own accord because she felt that the story lines were becoming too hokey.

This just occurred to me
How was Farrah able to leave after only 1 year? Wouldn't she have signed a contract?

Regardless, she wasn't the bitter ex-Angel anyway. I believe that was Kate Jackson. Something about not being able to do the movie Kramer vs. Kramer because she was still on CA. (don't have many details here)

Yep that's true. And whenever she did appear ABC really promoted it. They were lucky. Cheryl Ladd was a great replacement although Farrah is still my favorite Angel.

I was about to come here and say that among the Charlie's Angels stars, Kate Jackson seems to be the most bitter. She was trapped in her TV contract when Hollywood came knocking. As a direct consequence, Jackson lost out on a potentially Oscar winning role (in this case, Meryl Streep's part in Kramer vs. Kramer). Jackson's ex-husband, Andrew Stevens, also backed up his pickup truck to her bank account around that time as well. There were also rumors that Jackson didn't get along with Farrah Fawcett's replacement, Cheryl Ladd and would only speak to or acknowledge her when the situation really called for it.

Larry's brother Daryl and his other brother Daryl- they didn't speak to anyone until the series finale. ;)

After doing some reading (http://www.nickiswift.com/58425/never-hear-olsen-twins-anymore/), you can add Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. I'm not going to give them flack for not wanting anything to do with Full House (since their parents pretty much sold them out when they were still literally babies) or show business in general anymore. But they none the less, always come across as so sour, creepy (to be brutally honest, they always look like old scary witches), superficial/vapid, jaded and run down looking. They're always extremely private (but on on the same token, apparently have huge daddy issues and their smoking habits care clearly signs of stress/anxiety) and the only time they show themselves in public (media) is when they're promoting something (business related).

Farrah Fawcett is one celebrity for whom it's quite easy to feel sorry for when you get right down to it. She had overnight fame, but really non of the success after Charlie's Angels, except maybe the Burning Bed. And then she a horrible personal life with an abusive Ryan O'Neal. Plus, her son landed in prison jail and she ultimately died a horrible death from anal cancer. To add insult to injury, she died the same day as Micheal Jackson yet he got all the medial attention (whereas there was hardly a peep about her in the media).

Jimmie Walker you'd figure should've been bitter about his stand up comic career getting sidelined by playing JJ on Good Times and never really having the success as the Jackson's did.

And yet he really wasn't bitter, was he?

No surprisingly but then just like Adam West George Lindsey and Bob Denver he learned to embrace the character that made him a household name and like Don Knotts and Don Adams moved away with success.

How about Eve Plumb and Maureen McCormick?

15 TV Stars Who Hated Their Own Shows (http://screenrant.com/tv-stars-hated-own-shows/)

Between feuds with co-stars, fights with producers, and lack of faith in the material, actors often don’t have fond feelings about their own TV shows.

What I mean is that actors/actresses who seemed bitter about the roles that brought them fame. For example:
Eve Plumb - This of course depends on your own point of view being that it's already well established that she and her Brady Bunch sister Maureen McCormick don't get along too well as of late.

Gary Burghoff isn't bitter, he's a notorious *******. He was hated by many directors on MASH, and virtually everyone he worked with, similar to William Shatner. I had a friend who did a commercial with him and he said everyone on the set hated him.

Scott Baio should kiss the ground that someone with as little talent as he has had his life including Pamela Anderson, Nicole Eggert, Julie McCollouch, Heather Locklear, Melissa Gilbert and scores of others.

Richard Dawson was another person that was hated by almost anyone that knew him.

Suzanne Somers and Farrah Fawcett. They both shot to big fame fast, and then got a little too big for their britches (IMO) and left their shows.

Farrah and Suzanne became phenomenons bigger than their shows, especially Farrah. As offers poured in, they thought the shows were holding them back. In reality, the shows were holding them back from other people exploiting them instead of their shows.

Eve and Maureen.

Shannen Doherty has gone through various interviews trashing "Beverly Hills, 90210", generally regarding the show as beneath her and resenting that she has been typecast as the mean girl character she played on that show.

Matthew Fox has not had nice things to say about "Party of Five" and generally seems to despise the series.

Not an out and out TV star per se (although she did guest star on Charlie's Angels and The Six Million Dollar Man, and had her own show Dog & Cat early in her career), but every other interview involving Kim Basinger seems to reek of not only bitterness (and a lack of seeing a silver lining), but entitlement:

After two television movies and two features — Hard Country, with Jan-Michael Vincent, and Mother Lode, with Charlton Heston, neither of which was widely distributed — she was hired for the role of Domino in Never Say Never Again. She hated the movie ("It was all about Bond"), and little love was lost between her and the director, Irvin Kershner. In a recent interview, she called him "mean." He retaliated by saying that "she has a problem that a lot of ex-models have, and that's paying too much attention to their looks." The man knew which button to push. "He zinged it to me like you wouldn't believe!" Basinger says. She's laughing, but she's angry, too. "They preface everything with 'ex-model.' I don't even know what the hell that means. 'Cause they could just as easily put 'plumber' in there now, like 'plumber-actress.' Because I'm not a model anymore. It drives me mad."

Ron Palillo hurt by Arnold Horshack role in Kotter series

Big News Network (UPI)Wednesday 22nd August, 2012

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. -- Ron Palillo, whose funeral was held in Florida Wednesday, said for years he did not like being known as TV's high school underachiever Arnold Horshack.
Palillo, who later taught at a high school himself, died of a heart attack in Palm Beach Gardens Aug. 14. He was 63.
He told the Akron (Ohio) Beacon Journal in 1997 the goofy character on the ABC sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter" in many ways hurt his acting career because he was so strongly identified with it.
"I know him, love what he does, not right for the part," Palillo said casting directors consistently told him after his years on "Kotter."
"Everybody thought of me as Arnold Horshack. I resented Horshack for so many years," he told the newspaper, explaining he thought that TV and film producers "could smell the desperation in me."
"Kotter," which aired 1975-79, also featured a young John Travolta, who went on to many box office successes. But Travolta was the only actor from the show to become a movie star.
The show starred Gabe Kaplan as a high school teacher returning to his alma mater in Brooklyn to take over an unruly class of remedial students known collectively as the Sweathogs, because their top-floor classroom was always hot.
Horshack was known for several catchphrases, including "Ooh, ooh, Mista Kahta! Mista Kahta!" which he said when he raised his hand excitedly in class thinking incorrectly he had the right answer, and "That was ver-ry impressive, Mista Kahta!" in faint praise for Kotter's teaching and jokes.
Palillo -- whose last name was spelled "Paolillo" by the local Howard-Price Funeral Home -- eventually made peace with his typecasting, longtime Palm Beach Gardens friend Stacy Sacco told The Palm Beach Post.
"He appreciated that it was such an iconic character," she said. "And he would absolutely do that imitation."
Palillo -- who taught drama at the G-Star School of the Arts charter school in Palm Springs, Fla., when he died -- got supporting roles on TV series including "The Love Boat" and "The A-Team."
He also appeared in 12 films, with his last the 2010 action comedy "The Guardians," about a con man who gets conned.
In addition, he directed musicals in Los Angeles and West Palm Beach, and in 2005 had his first full-length play, "The Lost Boy," about "Peter Pan" author J.M. Barrie, staged at the Helen Hayes Theater in Nyack, N.Y., and at the Queens Theater in the Park in New York City.
An artist who illustrated the children's books "The Red Wings of Christmas" and "A Gift for the Contessa," Palillo also introduced a line of limited-edition T-shirts in 2007. The company making the shirts was named Rotter and Friends.

So sad. I read he did musicals.

Didn't Three's Company have any bitter stars?

I always assumed that Joyce DeWitt was bitter due to both the Suzanne Somers situation in Season 5 and the perceived backstabbing/blindsiding from the producers and to a certain extent, John Ritter over the Three's a Crowd spin-off.

Priscilla Barnes has gone on record that her time on Three's Company was the worst period in her life due to all of the on-set tension (even with a perceived trouble-maker like Suzanne Somers gone). She wanted to leave but she couldn't get out of her contract.

How about Eve Plumb and Maureen McCormick?

http://screenrant.com/on-screen-siblings-who-hate-each-other/

Whatever acting abilities or charisma Shannen Doherty has, they’ve been eclipsed in the minds of public by the stories of her being a calamitously difficult actress to deal with on set. You have to really scour the internet with a fine-toothed comb to find a set where people haven’t complained about her diva behavior and fights with co-stars, and her brief stint on Charmed was no different.

Alyssa Milano has gone on record in recent years saying that the set was “like high school,” and reports at the time suggested that Doherty was eventually fired after Alyssa Milano provided the producers of Charmed with an ultimatum: either she or Doherty could stay, but not both.

Regardless of the actual reason for Doherty’s dismissal after 3 seasons, it’s clear that, as with Beverly Hills 90210, her departure didn’t hurt the show, and Charmed went on to five more seasons with Rose McGowan replacing Doherty.
