Burt Reynolds lived out his final years at his Florida estate after his real estate magnate friend bought the property and rented it to him for a low price when the screen legend was struggling financially.
Reynolds, who died last week at age 82 of a heart attack, had a history of financial woes after sliding into bankruptcy more than 20 years ago.
The actor auctioned off much of his iconography in 2014 to cover his debts, including the famous Pontiac Trans-Am car from hit 1977 film Smokey And The Bandit and his two Golden Globes.
He sold his longtime waterfront home in Jupiter the following year to his real estate tycoon friend and neighbor, Charles Modica, in 2015 for $3.3 million.

His friend let Reynolds live at the property while paying minimal rent up until his death last week.
'He was undergoing a lot of stress and strain in his life at that time and I called him and told him I would like to be a part to help him,' Modica told Inside Edition.
Reynolds had bought the property in 1980 for $700,000.
His neighbors in Jupiter - where he was regarded as virtual royalty - said that in his final years Reynolds had become increasingly housebound.
He lived at the home with his pitbull and carer.
'You wouldn't know that he still lived here,' a neighbor said. 'I've not seen him in weeks. He just doesn't come out.'
Reynolds suffered his fatal heart attack at the home last Thursday.

His caretaker was heard telling an emergency dispatcher that the actor was having chest pains and breathing difficulties in an audiotape of the call released by the Martin County Sheriff's Department.
The actor was later pronounced dead at the Jupiter Medical Center.
At the peak of his career, Reynolds was one of the most bankable actors in the film industry, reeling off a series of box-office smashes until a career downturn in the mid-1980s.
He rebounded in 1997 with an Oscar nomination for his supporting role as a porn director in Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Boogie Nights' - a role Reynolds despised - and won an Emmy for his role in the 1990-1994 television series 'Evening Shade.'
With his trademark mustache, rugged looks and macho aura, Reynolds was a leading male sex symbol of the 1970s.

He famously appeared naked - reclining on a bearskin rug with his arm strategically positioned for the sake of modesty - in a centerfold in the women's magazine Cosmopolitan in 1972.
Reynolds' personal life sometimes overshadowed his movies, including marriages that ended in divorce to actresses Loni Anderson and Judy Carne and romances with Sally Field and Dinah Shore, among others.
His financial woes and his struggles with prescription pain medication also generated attention.
The actor was due to appear with Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie and Al Pacino in Tarantino's upcoming period drama 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' set in 1969 Los Angeles around the time of the Charles Manson murders.
According to Variety, production began this summer but Reynolds had not been expected to shoot his scenes until the end of this month. The film is slated for release next August.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
