Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-19
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK-For some reason, the most
popular estimate of a top-Salared TV stars
income is around $2500O0 a year."
The Internal Revenue Service would be
amazed at the number of performers who,
through the years, have been authoritatively
rumored to garner this impressive Sum-and
even more-annually.
Since the Government stopped reporting
individual salaries, about the best anybody can
do about figuring how much who makes is to
elicit some educated guesSes, average them off
and then shave them bit.
Who, then are the best paid among the
TV stars? The answer to that one is simple:
The good business men and women like DeSi
Arnaz and Lucille Ball, Dick Powell and David
Niven, Loretta Young and a handful of others
who not only act but own all or an important
chunk of the properties in which they appear.
Many a big star, however, is regularly
employed a TV series and does quite well
without taking the risks involved in gambling
on the success or failure of a package.
Guesses on actors pay checks indicate, for
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-07-19
Something on Salaries

Instance, that James ArneSs, the popular Mar
shall Dillon of Gunsmoke, draws something
between $4,000 and $4,000 a year. James
Garner the alternate week hero of Maverick
last season made something like $4,000 for
Is shows. And Will Hutchins, a comparative
youngster among the shootin', fghtin', ridin'
veterans made perhaps 81, 200 each for some
20 in the Sugarfoot series.
The ones who are doing best however, are
the actors who have a slice of a successful
package. Blake Edwards, who dreamed up and
produces Peter Gum, gave Craig Stevens an
interest in the show. And that is policy, too,
for one of the big packaging companies in TV,
an outfit called XIV which last year crossed
some $42 million. Some of its stars include
Lloyd Bridges with Sea Hunt, Broderick Craw-
ford with Highway Patrol and Richard Carlson
with MacKenzieS Raiders Under this companys
share the-profitS plan, Bridges is expected to
make about 100000 by years end; Crawford
$780, 1000, and Carlson $235, 900 And Dane Clark,
with 10 per cent interest in ZIVS new Bold
Venture series, is expected to bank about
million by the time it is retired after its first
run, re-runS and re-re-runS.
