His most famous TV role was as Uncle Fester in The Addams Family television series. Danson, while still married to his first wife, was involved with Whoopi Goldberg.

After the war, Coogan returned to acting, taking mostly character roles and appearing on television. He is stepfather to her daughter and son.

Danson was married to Casey Coates from 1977 to 1993. As he grew older, Coogan's popularity as an actor waned, though he had several well-publicised love affairs with leading Hollywood starlets, including a three-year marriage to Betty Grable. Danson also plays himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

The legal battle did, however, bring attention to child actors and resulted in the state of California enacting the California Child Actor's Bill, sometimes known as the Coogan Bill.

After Cheers, Danson starred in the sitcom Ink with his real-life wife Mary Steenburgen. As a child star, Coogan earned as much as $4 million, but the money was taken by his mother and step-father. During this time he also made several movies, the most popular of which was Three Men and a Baby with Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg. As a child actor, he is best remembered for his role as Charlie Chaplin's irrascible sidekick in The Kid (1921) and for the title role in Oliver Twist by Frank Lloyd the following year. He is most famous for his role as bartender Sam Malone on the hit sitcom Cheers from 1982-1993.
