Ellen Burstyn | Jefferson Roberts

It may seem like her acting days are long gone now, but the 88-year-old Ellen Burstyn appeared in the 2020 film Pieces Of A Woman. The veteran actress was extremely popular back in the 1970s. In fact, she has received several accolades, including an Academy Award. Her first big break in the film industry came when she was cast in the 1971 film The Last Picture Show.  Burstyn didn’t acquire a college degree, but she did attend a university-preparatory school.

Fortunately, she discovered her true passion: acting. Her romantic life might not have been as colorful as her career, but she embraced motherhood through adoption, and it has made her a better person. Ellen adopted her son, Jefferson, with her former husband Paul Roberts back in 1961. She is really close to her son. In fact, Jefferson lives with his own family in a home near her mother’s house. Burstyn lives in a 3,000-square-foot real estate and this is just one of her several investment properties.
