Well, Stern decided to leave Hollywood some years back, and now he lives on a farm where he grows tangerines and makes sculptures.

He told People stardom became "overwhelming," saying, "I made enough money that I didn't have to work. I made enough money and I'm kind of frugal ... I bought the house in cash. I bought the cars in cash. I bought everything straight up because as an artist, I never knew if [I was] going to make any more bread."

This one called "Lives of a Woman," showing "the phases of a woman's life," is particularly impressive.

Stern told People, "At this point ... I love being in nature. I love being away. I love my solitude and I love being able to focus on what I'm making. So the farm world is a great place for me."
