While racking up an unbelievable 21 Oscar nominations to date, actress Meryl Streep has stayed largely out of the spotlight thanks, in part, to a small town in Connecticut. According to The New York Times, Streep and her husband, sculptor Don Gummer, "paid $1.8 million for an estate in Salisbury that includes a 47-acre lake and a small sheep farm" in 1985. The pair remained rooted there even as her career in Tinseltown soared. 

In fact, Streep is such a pillar in the community that she was inducted into the Connecticut Hall of Fame in 2016. State Rep. Roberta Willis accepted the award on the actress' behalf, calling her a "great friend, mother, activist and a Salisbury neighbor" and joking that "moving to Connecticut was the best thing that happened to Meryl, because this is where she lost her New Jersey accent."

Streep and her husband also own property in more high-profile areas. In 2018, the couple put a loft on the market for a cool $24.6 million in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City and bought another multi-million pad in Pasadena, Calif., but it's the privacy of Connecticut that seems to appeal to the living legend.
