Kelly LeBrock talked giving up ‘diamonds for dirt’ as she enjoyed a rare night out on the town at the Vanderpump Dog Gala.
The ’80s legend is best known for playing Lisa in the 1985 sci-fi comedy movie Weird Science but has since left Hollywood for the peace and quiet of a ranch in Santa Ynez, California.
Clad in a cowboy hat and boots customized with her initials, LeBrock, 65, spoke exclusively with The Daily Mail about her idyllic life caring for livestock in the countryside.
‘Dinner, drinks. Just seeing everybody,’ LeBrock, 65, said when asked what she was looking forward to that evening. ‘I don’t really go out anymore. I’m sort of a bit of a recluse, but I like it like that.
‘I gave up diamonds for dirt, and I have a big ranch that I have horses and cattle and dogs and chickens, and I take care of it myself,’ she said. ‘I have one man, one day a week that comes and helps.’
The property is located behind a lake in the Santa Ynez Valley – a place LeBrock described as ‘a little gem.’

‘It’s behind the lake. It’s a little gem of its own. I live in church. The countryside there is so incredible,’ she said.
LeBrock also opened up about her past health challenges she has endured – a bout with skin cancer.
The star was on hand promoting a new skincare product for animals when she brought up her past health woes.
‘I’m doing products for animals because I love them, and this is the most incredible wound care you’ve ever seen in your life. There’s also product for humans. I had a big skin cancer here, big hole that they made in me, and it’s completely gone. You can’t even see it.’
LeBrock said she had been afflicted by the illness ‘a couple of times.’
‘Happy to be here,’ she added.
LeBrock claimed the product is a ‘miracle drug’ that heals open wounds ‘completely.’
‘What it does for animals, you have open wounds that can’t be stitched or healed otherwise, this just heals it completely. It’s a miracle drug, and it’s all natural, environmentally friendly,’ she said.

Kelly ditched Hollywood after her divorce from Steven Seagal and has been living on her ranch for the last 25 years – without TV and very little communication with the outside world.
Kelly was married three times, first, to film producer and restaurateur Victor Drai from 1984 to 1986.
She then wed actor Steven Seagal in 1987, and together, they welcomed a daughter named Arissa in 1993. They divorced in 1996.
The legend tied the knot for a third time in 2007 to retired investment banker Fred Steck but they split after only one year together.
1985 movie Weird Science was about two teen misfits who designed their dream woman on a computer, but were in for a shock when a freak electrical accident actually brought her to life.
The movie quickly became a fan favorite, earning $38.9 million in the box office worldwide.
