My Take
Lyle Waggoner had the kind of second act I find quietly inspiring. He was the handsome straight man on The Carol Burnett Show and Steve Trevor on Wonder Woman, a face built for the camera. But the chapter that wins me over came later, when he founded Star Waggons, renting luxury trailers to the very studios that once hired him. Going from being in front of the lens to supporting everyone behind it shows real business sense and a lack of ego. Plenty of actors fade after their fame cools; Waggoner reinvented himself and stayed essential to the industry until his death in 2020.
