''Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed'' is a {{Documentary}} by Joshua Rofe.
The film tells the story of Creator/BobRoss, host of the popular Creator/{{PBS}} series ''Series/TheJoyOfPainting''. Through interviews with people like Bob's son, Steve, friend Dana Jester, and director of his show, Sally Schenck, the movie tells the story of Bob Ross' life, his relationships with those closest to him, and his refusal even on his death bed to sign his name and likeness over to the Kowalskis, who wanted to [[MoneyDearBoy milk them for all that they're worth]].
