After decades of abrasive stand-up comedy, acting roles in both teenage beach and serious movies, and contributing to making the Toy Story films huge box office successes as Mr. Potato Head, Don Rickles left the world stage at age of 90 when he passed away April 6th at his home in Los Angeles.
Due to his active schedule up until his death, he was unable to enjoy his charming beach house in the celebrity-studded enclave of Point Dume in Malibu, California, which he had put on the market shortly before his death.
From a barren-topped promontory jutting out into the Pacific Ocean at the end of Santa Monica Bay in the 1930s to the lushly planted oasis of beach mansions today, Point Dume offers some of the best ocean views and celebrity sightings on the West Coast.
Many celebrities, who could afford to enjoy ocean life anywhere in the world, have chosen Point Dume for their home. Johnny Carson was a longtime resident buying his beach home in 1984 for about $9.5 million; it sold two years after his death for $38million.
Other celebrity residents have included Robert Duvall, Cher, Dick Clark, Rob Lowe and Julie Andrews. One of the enclave’s most popular assets is the deeded-access private beach which can only be entered with a homeowner’s key.
Don is survived by his wife, Barbara, of 52 years. Their Point Dume beach house with private keyed beach access is priced at $7.995 million.
