Some of these legendary artists might have fallen a bit under the radar or they might be starring in the next blockbuster movie! What we know for sure is that even if their debuts and career heydays took place decades ago, they are still alive and kicking.
And with more than enough money earned throughout their successful careers, their retirement probably came smoothly. And judging by some of the houses these stars have, it would certainly appear so! Let’s take a look at the places where these never-forgotten stars are comfortably enjoying their golden years.

[the_ad id="23538"]

In 2019, Dench is set to star in the Cats film adaptation as Old Deuteronomy alongside Jennifer Hudson, Taylor Swift, and Idris Elba.
When she isn’t too busy working on the next big film project, 84-year-old Dench retreats to her Outwood, Surrey farmhouse in England. The 6,910-square-foot estate has two double bedrooms, one bathroom, multiple stabling barns, and a heated wet edge swimming pool.

Gene, who announced his retirement from acting in 2008, famously played the role of Lex Luthor in 1978's Superman: The Movie and also won an Academy Award as Best Actor for his role in 1971's The French Connection. Even though it is no longer part of the greater compound, the property is still about 2.37 acres large and has a beautiful view of the ocean—which highly increases its worth.

The 6,000-square foot house is directly in front of the beach and even has a spa in case lying on the beach wasn’t relaxing enough. Aside from the six bedrooms, it also has a guest house which makes it perfect for receiving a number of guests who are planning on staying for a couple of days.

The 87-year-old star of the One Day at a Time reboot series, that is available on Netflix, explained that initially, she told the architects to put in as few walls as possible.
Moreno said that in hindsight, she regrets that decision because she doesn’t have nearly enough walls for her works of art! The 3-bedroom mansion makes it on the list of Bay Area’s cool mansions because it pays homage to the star’s Puerto Rican heritage.

From the air, you can see Hopkin's white and red home of bricks in Point Dume, Santa Monica Bay, still standing with all four floors untouched.

Brigitte Bardot, who was one of the symbols of the ‘60s, is known for her impressive beauty as well as for her activism. Considering her successful career as an actress, it's no wonder she could afford this incredible house located in the South of France.
Although she invested a lot of time in the remodeling of this home, which has a guest house and an infinity swimming pool, she decided to put it for sale. Listed at $5.6 million, the house's sale certainly meant nice earnings for the Viva Maria! actress who has dedicated herself entirely to her activism focused on rescuing animals in the last decades.

[the_ad id="23538"]
For many years, Betty White has been living in Los Angeles, although she’s been understandably private about her exact whereabouts. For all we know, she might still be living in her childhood home, which you see above. Its walled entrance and private driveway seem like it could provide her with all the privacy she might need, anyway. We're at least thankful that she joined Instagram in 2015 because through it, we get to at least have an occasional glimpse of what the inside of her house looks like. Betty voiced a character for 2019’s Toy Story 4.

Pat Sajak – $699K, Glendale
Pat Sajak's been hosting the Wheel of Fortune for so long now that sometimes we suspect he simply lives in the show's studio set. Of course, that can't be true since Sajak has lived for years in this somewhat modest Glendale house. He shared this home with his first wife, Sherill, and the estate was recently sold for $699K. The two-story structure is 100 years old already, and because of that, a renovation was needed before the new owners took control. The lucky buyers will now have access to a 2,600-square-foot space, three bathrooms, a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, and a laundry room.

With more than 50 acting credits to his name, Tom Selleck might as well make any retirement investment he likes—if he ever decides to retire, though.

Since 2015, Selleck has been starring in the hit TV series, Blue Bloods, where he portrays NY Police Officer Frank Reagan. The Colonial-style brick home in the pictures is where Reagan resides on the show, and it was built around 1920.

When filmmaker and actor, Ron Howard decided to sell his property in 2014, he managed to receive $27.5 million for it! Quite the price, but to be fair, the 17,200 square foot house has hosted a couple of marriage ceremonies, multiple parties, as well as fundraisers, over the two decades that it was in Ron's possession. The house features six bedrooms with five bathrooms and four half ones and is surrounded by 32 acres of woods. With seven fireplaces and staggering views of the lake, the house offers a sense of serenity like no other. Ron continues working to this day, and in 2019, he directed the Pavarotti documentary.

[the_ad id="23538"]
Since the ‘60s, Vera Lynn had been living in the small village of Ditchling in East Sussex. She and her late husband, Harry Lewis, had purchased the house around two decades into their marriage. By the time of Vera’s death in 2020, they also owned the neighboring house, where their daughter lives.

[the_ad id="23538"]
Once dubbed “the wildest house in Hollywood," Jack Nicholson’s home on Mulholland Drive is a gorgeous haven where the successful actor loves to spend his time. He actually owns three homes in a row, citing the need to enhance privacy because the two houses have one driveway. One of the houses belonged to Marlon Brandon, Jack’s neighbor for decades before Marlon’s death. Nicholson bought the house in 2004 to respect Brandon’s memory and also maintain it for his kids. He would later discover that the place needed some mold removal, something that forced him to fork more funds above the $6-million purchase price.
