Lacey Chabert (best known for Mean Girls) voiced Meg Griffin on the Fox animated series Family Guy for the show's first season, however she decided to leave the show to "focus her attention elsewhere" as she was still in high school and shooting the hit TV series Party of Five simultaneously. Actress Mila Kunis ended up replacing Chabert as Meg however Family Guy struggled heavily in the ratings early on, leading to the series being cancelled after only three seasons in 2002. So, no worries, right? Well, no... the opposite actually. Due to high ratings in syndication and robust DVD sales, Family Guy was revived in 2005 and the series has been running ever since, becoming one of the most popular animated TV shows in history. As of 2021, Mila Kunis has voiced Meg Griffin in over 350 episodes of Family Guy and takes home between $175,000 and $225,000 per episode. Mila Kunis's total net worth exceeds $75 million. Lacey Chabert, on the other hand, has just finished making her 28th made-for-TV movie for the Hallmark Channel and has a net worth of around $4 million.

For his first starring role, 28-year-old Steve McQueen was cast in the 1950s sci-fi classic The Blob, filmed on a very low budget of $110,000. For his salary, McQueen was given two options; $3,000 OR an offer for a smaller up-front fee in return for a 10% share of the profits. He took the $3,000 thinking that the film would never make any money; he also needed his signing fee immediately for rent and groceries. The Blob ended up being a hit, grossing $4 million at the box office, resulting in a loss of several hundred thousand dollars for McQueen, a decision he regretted 'til the day he died.
