2. Buffalo Bob Had Four Kids of his Own; One Famous
When the show came to an end, Smith bought some businesses to keep himself busy: three radio stations and a liquor store (big surprise). As he aged, Smith split his time between Maine and Florida, fishing and golfing between martinis. He had three flesh-and-blood children, who led their own lives, but Howdy Doody stayed with Smith until the end. The other kids had no interest in Hollywood and pursued other careers out of the limelight. In fact, pictures and video of Smith’s real children are not online.
