Rue McClanahan Net Worth $5 Million
McClanahan was born in Healdton, Oklahoma to parents Dreda Rheua-Nell and William Edwin McClanahan. A performer since she was a child, she was offered a dance scholarship upon matriculating from Ardmore High School, but chose to focus on acting, and attended the University of Tulsa where she majored in German and Theater.
After her university years, McClanahan started to make a name for herself by acting in small productions. Her debut performance was at Pennsylvania’s Erie Playhouse, in the play “Inherit the Wind”. She later moved to New York to pursue an acting career on Broadway, where she debuted as Sally Weber in the musical “Jimmy Shine”. Her minor acting roles on Broadway helped in her net worth, but when Norman Lear, a television executive, noticed her talent, he gave her a guest spot in the television show “All in the Family”. Lear once again helped her secure a spot in another television show “Maude”, which from a guest appearance, her role as Vivian Harmon grew into a series regular. McClanahan started to receive praise for her roles on television, and her comedic timing and acting talent received most praise when she was included in the television series “The Golden Girls”.
McClanahan made appearances to various other television shows, including “Trapper John”, “MD”, and “Mama’s Family” which all helped her career and net worth, but when executives from NBC tapped her to join the cast of “Golden Girls”, alongside actresses Bea Arthur, Betty White, and Estelle Getty, her career was catapulted to major success after a long time of acting on stage and television. She played the character of Blanche Devereaux the self-absorbed, man-hungry girl from the south in the hit show which lasted for seven seasons until it ended in 1992. McClanahan reprised her role in the show “The Golden Palace” but which only lasted for one season.
After the “Golden Girls”, McClanahan continued acting in movies and on television. She appeared in the movies “Out to Sea” and “Starship Troopers”, and had guest roles in the television shows “Law & Order”, “Annabelle’s Wish” and “Blue’s Clues”. She also returned to Broadway when she played the role of Madame Morrible in the hit show “Wicked”. All of her work after “The Golden Girls” helped her career and net worth.
During a career spanning over 60 years, Rue was seldom out of work, as evidenced by her involvement in over 30 films and more than 50 TV productions. In 2007, she released her autobiographical book “My First Five Husbands… and the Ones Who Got Away”.
In terms of her personal life, Rue McClanahan was married six times and had one son from her first marriage, Mark Bish. She was an active supporter of animal rights movement including People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and Alley Cat Allies. After beating breast cancer in 1997 and surviving triple bypass surgery in 2009, McClanahan died in New York in 2010 at the age of 76 from a brain haemorrhage.

Karyn’s next appearance on the TV screen was in 1988, when she played Lynette from “CBS Summer Playhouse” in the episode entitled “Roughhouse”, but her real big break was came in 1990, when the actress had the opportunity to play Will Smith‘s cousin “Hilary Banks” in the NBC sitcom called “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. After this performance, Karyn Parsons had numerous roles in movies and TV shows. Many viewers also know Karyn Parsons as an actress from “Lush Life” – she not only appeared in it, but was also the co-producer, co-writer and co-creator of the show. However, in the show business industry Karyn has been working for a relatively short span of time, and maybe that is the reason her net worth isn’t rather higher.
She has starred in movies such as “Major Payne”, “Late Nights” and “The Ladies Man”, but her last notable appearance on screen was in 2002. Audiences saw Karyn as Lily in the comedy-drama film called “13 Moons” and since then the actress has appeared only a few times on TV.
In her personal life, Karyn Parson’s first husband was Randy Brooks, an American film and TV actor, most known for his role in the film called “Reservoir Dogs”, who is also well known in the soap opera community because of “The Young and the Restless”.

Together couple have two children: their older daughter Lana was born in year 2003, and younger son Nico was born in year 2007.

Stacey Dash Net Worth $10 Million
Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.
Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos. In 2001 she was a part of the music video for the Carl Thomas song “Emotional”, and in 2004 she appeared alongside Kanye West in the music video for his single “All Falls Down.” At the same time Dash continued to have a successful film career with movies “American Primitive”, “I Could Never Be Your Woman”, “Nora’s Hair Salon II”, “Ghost Image” and “Fashion Victim”. She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.
Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.
In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06). She married Emmanuel Xuereb in 2007, but divorced him in 2010 and asked for restraining order against him, claiming physical abuse. Stacy also has a son fathered by R&B singer Christopher Williams, and a daughter (born 2003). She is very open about her political views and often uses Twitter to criticise certain public figures. Interestingly, she supported Barack Obama in 2008, but in the presidential elections of 2012 she expressed her support for Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
