William Shatner is a screen icon, so it’s not surprising he has some wonderful properties under his belt.
Though he’s fortunate to own more than one home, his property in Los Angeles that he’s owned since the 1970s is his pride and joy.
And it seems William has poured his heart – and money – into the abode by rebuilding it four times.
William Shatner’s LA pad he rebuilt four times
The Star Trek icon gave an interview last year in which he opened up about his property in Los Angeles. The 94-year-old explained how he came across the “beat up” house while jogging in the neighborhood in the 1970s, and it’s been his main residence ever since.

“The house is tremendously bigger, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms. My favourite room in the house is my bathroom.”

“I was told much later that the guy behind me also wanted to buy the place. The house and I were meant for each other.”

In 2024, William revealed to Parade that he had reunited with his fourth wife, Elizabeth Shatner, despite their split in 2019. When asked about the secret to his longevity and good health in his later years, he explained: “My little secret is I’m living with my former wife.
“We’ve, in effect, remarried. But we haven’t done another ceremony. I’ve often heard about married couples being partners in life, and I think that’s what Elizabeth and I have achieved. I think we’re partners. We help each other with our lives.”

The veteran actor’s first wife was Gloria Rand, whom he wed in 1956; however, his wife left him 13 years later. William welcomed three daughters with Gloria, Leslie (born in 1958), Lisabeth (born in 1961) and Melanie (born in 1964).

William’s third marriage ended tragically when his wife of two years, Nerine Kidd, accidentally drowned after falling into their pool in 1999. The couple had been separated due to her addiction problems, but William was devastated by the loss.
The Boston Legal star then wed Elizabeth, a former horse trainer, in 2001.
