Low Wages
We regular people think that actors and actresses receive huge paychecks for every single project they work on. After all, that is one of the things we know about their jobs, right? However, everyone has to start somewhere and a large paycheck is not something that materializes out of nowhere. When she first signed with Warner Brothers in the ‘40s, Doris Day was only paid $750 a week. If you think that’s not bad at all, think again because half of it went to the director.

Frank Sinatra
In 1951, Doris Day and Martin Melcher became man and wife. Sometimes, Melcher paid his wife visits while she worked on set. During the filming of Young At Heart, her famous costar Frank Sinatra revealed that he would immediately head off whenever Melcher appeared in their workplace. Apparently, Melcher was not well-liked, and he has been described as ‘creepy’ and a ‘shallow and insecure hustler’. In 1968, Melcher died from cardiovascular complications.
