^ Delta Burke was fired. Jean Smart was the one who quit, but it was because she was having a baby.

I think Shelley left because she wanted to concentrate full-time on movies and her 5-year contract was up. I don't think it was an issue of wanting more money, but I could be wrong.

Point is, if an actor leaves a show due to wanting more money, wouldn't that actor be considered a "money addict"?

Farrah Fawcett left "CHARLIES ANGELS" because her hhusband Lee Majors didn't want her doing it.

And Don Knotts left "THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW" because when it started; Andy said he was going to leave after 5 seasons and Don decided he wouldn't want to stay without Andy, so he signed a movie contract with Universal, but then Andy decided to do it for another 3 years and Don couldn't get out of the contract.

Jamiee Foxworth from "Family Matters".

Once she didn't get a raise, she left the show and her character was grounded for a VERY long time!

I believe I heard that Tiger left The Brady Bunch after the first season over unreasonable demands.

If you Know Of Any More Cases, You Can Post Them.

Did the Power Rangers really leave because of money? I find it hard to believe, I thought they left because they wanted to do other projects
