Randy Quaid- fallin' off the edge...
So his roll in the Lampoon movies wasn't that far off real life......
The Associated Press Published: September 19, 2010 Updated: 08:52 am SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Actor Randy Quaid and his wife are facing burglary charges in California after the owner of the couple's old house reported they had been living there without permission. A representative of the property owner called Santa Barbara County sheriff's deputies Saturday afternoon to report that squatters had been staying in the guest house illegally. When deputies arrived at the house that evening, they found Randy and Evi Quaid, who said they had owned the property since the 1990s. The property owner's representative provided documents that showed his client had bought the home in 2007 from a man who had purchased it from the Quaids several years earlier. A contractor showed police more than $5,000 in damages to the guest house that he believed was caused by the Quaids. Police arrested the Quaids on charges of felony residential burglary and entering a noncommercial building without consent, a misdemeanor. Police also charged Evi Quaid, 47, with resisting arrest. Bail was set at $50,000 each. Last September, the couple was charged with defrauding an innkeeper of more than $10,000 as well as conspiracy and burglary after an invalid credit card was used at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito. Senior Deputy District Attorney Arnie Tolks had said an invalid card also was used at The Biltmore, a luxury resort in Santa Barbara. Felony charges were later dropped against Randy Quaid, 59. Evi Quaid pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of defrauding an innkeeper and was sentenced to three years' probation. She was also ordered to perform 240 hours of community service. Randy Quaid won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Emmy for his portrayal of President Lyndon Johnson in "LBJ: The Early Years," but he's perhaps best known for his roles in the "National Lampoon's Vacation" movies, "Independence Day" and "Kingpin." He is the older brother of fellow actor Dennis Quaid.

I thought his strange behavior was pretty common knowledge.

Wow, bizarre. But honestly, it's often seemed to me that some of the most entertaining and/or well liked actors pull off strange what looks like a little too easily.

And we wonder why most of these folks have f***'d up relationships or become addicts or say/do crazy shyt. Any decent actor or comedian is nutz - you have to be.

Sad really... What did he do with the money he made in his movies?
It reminds me of an old saying. It's not how much you earn that's important it's what you do with your money that is.

The oddest part of the story is how the homeowners didn't realize someone was living in their guest house . . . for THREE YEARS.

During the peak of the RE market a lot of foreign buyers (mostly from asia) would buy property and let it sit empty for a year or so, planning to flip it later for a big profit. I sold my house in early 2007 to a wealthy man who lived in China who held and flipped a lot of CA houses previously. When the market tanked in mid-2007 he couldn't resell it for what he paid, so it still sits there empty three years later! He paid me $800,000 for it...worth less than half that now. He still pays for the landscaping and everything...unbelievable. I guess he's waiting for the RE "recovery" LOL!
I'm pretty sure I could have moved back in there a couple years ago without being noticed. |
