Winning an Oscar doesn’t guarantee a thespian lifelong wealth. Just ask two-time Oscar winner Dianne Wiest, who recently said she’s struggling with money issues due to a lack of well-paying work, and may wind up homeless soon.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Wiest discussed her upcoming role in in the off-Broadway production of Rasheeda Speaking, but also talked about her personal life, saying “I have to move out of my apartment soon” because she can’t pay her rent.

Wiest won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in two Woody Allen movies, Hannah and Her Sisters in 1986 and Bullets Over Broadway in 1994. But since then, she says the only roles she’s been offered have been typecast. “A nice mom, and that’s it. That’s all that ever came, except in theater” she claimed.

Her latest film saw her alongside Al Pacino in the just released The Humbling, and she also had a role on TV’s Law and Order.

Responses to the article were mostly skeptical, with one commenter posting the following list of Wiest’s income from films:

Five Nights in Maine $3,146,853
The Humbling $2,556,818
The Corrections $1,948,052
Darling Companion $1,461,039
The Big Year $1,247,228
Rabbit Hole $1,136,364

Many commenter’s said that she needed to learn how to better manage her money. What do you think? Sing out in the comment section below.
