Jeff Bridges was so fond of the whorehouse in movie flop Heaven's Gate he bought it.
When director Michael Cimino offered up the Montana estate built for the 1980 western to his cast and crew, Bridges jumped at the chance to own the movie property known as the Hog Ranch.
He says, "All the barns were made from hand-hewn logs, and when Michael Cimino asked if anyone wanted the cabin, whorehouse and barn, I shot my hand up.
"We disassembled the buildings, numbered the logs, put them on a flatbed truck, and drove 200 miles south to my and (wife) Susan's ranch.
"Since that time we've added to the buildings a bit, but the core of the main house is built around the Hog Ranch.
"The bullet holes (from the film) are still in the walls."
