It would seem that Gene Hackman is every bit as canny as the characters he often plays in movies. He's not just owned one island over the course of his long life and career; he's bought one, sold it and traded up. His island-buying ways started with this little gem though - the tiny Fawn Island, which is in the seclusion of the San Juans. It spans only 2.3 acres, but such is its prime location that it's currently valued at $4m.
Hackman had a property build on the island in 1978, covering over 3500 square feet, along with a private water system and a pier for boats to dock. That's useful for getting back to the comfort of the mainlands, with Orcas being only a few minutes away across the water. Hackman himself can now be found at even more snug and secure island home somewhere near British Columbia.
