Celebrities Who You Didn’t Know Served In The Military
Kris Kristofferson
Kris Kristofferson may be concentrating on his music nowadays, but let’s not forget how good an actor he is. Before Bradley Cooper made A Star is Born, there was 1976’s A Star is Born that starred Kristofferson and Barbara Streisand. This movie won him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Before acting and creating songs like For the Good Times, and Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down, Kristofferson joined the U.S. Army in 1960. Joining the military was to be expected of the actor-singer because he comes from an Army family. After Ranger School, Kristofferson became a helicopter pilot, later reaching the rank of a captain. Kristofferson left the service so he could pursue music, an act that led to his family to disowning him and even his wife divorced him. We bet his family and ex-wife feel differently after Kristofferson found success in Hollywood. His net worth is said to be a whopping $160 million today.
