Mark Spitz had ambitions of becoming a dentist before the 1972 Olympics. He had actually been admitted to dental school at Indiana University. Actor Edgar Buchanan (Petticoat Junction) WAS a dentist before turning to acting full time, while his wife, also a dentist, took over his practice.

So what if Riley Gaines had aspired to dentistry? Obviously, she found an easier way to make a living.
