Actor Willie Aames, star of ’70’s and ’80’s television shows Eight is Enough and Charles in Charge, is being divorced by his wife of 22 years, Maylo Upton. Aames (real name: Albert W. Upton) was most recently seen on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club but hasn’t worked since.

Star Magazine is now reporting that Aames attempted suicide in Los Angeles on Thanksgiving Day. He apparently mixed alcohol with anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds then put a knife to his throat and cut himself in six places. Police came and took him to USC’s psych ward.

Someone at Star might want to tell Mrs. Upton where they tracked Aames down. She filed for divorce in Johnson County, Kansas – just outside of Kansas City – in December and advised the court that she did not know Aames’ whereabouts and hasn’t known since October. Most recently, the court authorized Upton’s divorce attorney to serve Aames with notice by publication – usually the last option for obtaining legal service on someone who has abandoned a marriage and disappeared.

Aames filed for bankruptcy earlier in the fall and had his car repossessed. Aames and Upton’s marital home is currently in the process of being foreclosed upon. Upton asked the court to waive the filing fee usually charged for filing a divorce petition due to her current financial status.

The couple has one daughter who is 18 years old.
