The actor fell in love with the island side of the world, his Tahitian wife Tarita and Tetiaroa: "The island is beautiful, beyond my ability to describe or capture it on film," he said often. He bought Tetiaroa (not without difficulty with the Polynesian government) in 1966 to 200 thousand dollars and lived there until 1990.
