At the time of his death, Joe E. Tata’s net worth was estimated at $3 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. But he didn’t have access to it. According to an GoFundMe page started by his daughter, Kelly Tata, the actor’s health deteriorated, and he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Kelly wrote that she was separated from him due to her own medical issues, and her father “unwittingly” signed over his finances to a conservatorship. The conservator then forced Kelly to move out of her father’s home, leading Kelly to raise funds to get housing closer to her father and a car to visit him more frequently.
Joe’s last IMDb credit came in 2014 when he appeared on an episode of “Mystery Girls.” But in 2008, when “Beverly Hills, 90210” was rebooted as “90210,” Joe’s Nat Bussichio came back in stride. “The coin’s in the air for me,” he told the Associated Press in 2008 (via Today) about his future on the show. “I guess it comes under the heading of magic test: Let’s see if the audience still remembers me.” When the ’90s series was once again rebooted in 2019 — this time as “BH90210” — Nat was noticeably absent. The Peach Pit owner was a fan favorite, and there were calls to bring his character back for the show’s second season. By that point, however, Joe’s health had taken him out of the acting game. Kelly noted that his health began to decline shortly after his appearance on “Mystery Girls.”
