In time, both Ricky and David attempted separated film careers and found moderate success in several big-budget 1950s films. By 1966, however, the Nelson sons were hard-pressed to find a large popular following. Ricky ventured into country music where he had sporadic success until his 1985 death in a plane crash, and David moved into production, working mainly in commercials and low-budget features.
