The Hollywood life is certainly a luxurious one, as you live up the high life in Los Angeles all year round.
But while it certainly seems like the dream, some have actually left Hollywood over the years for a quieter life.
Of course, Tinseltown is rather busy, and after being there for a few years, I can imagine you'd want a change.

One of those who decided to get out of there was Firefly Lane star Katherine Heigl, who is now raising her family in Utah.
But before that, the actor called LA her home, so why exactly did she decide to leave with such a blooming acting career?
Heigl did face her fair share of criticism during her time in California, ever since her departure from Grey's Anatomy, really.

As a result, many fans believed the actor had moved away because of this, to essentially remove herself from the spotlight.
However, that's not the cast at all. As Heigl has recently revealed, it was all to do with her family, her singer husband Josh Kelley and children, daughters Naleigh, 14, Adalaide, 10, and son Joshua, six.
Speaking of her choice to move, Heigl said: "I didn't know how to raise them in LA, so I felt like I could do it here."
She added: "I could be more on top of things that scare me and I could be more on top of the kinds of friends they have and places they're going, the kind of activities they're involved in — and what the hell they're doing on their phones!"

While the couple are now living a quieter live in Utah, Heigl is often on the road for filming purposes.
More recently, she has been in Vancouver shooting the final episodes of Firefly Lane's season two.
While being aware from family is obviously hard, Heigl says that she does find a way to balance things.

In an interview with People, she said: "I can't easily anymore take them out of school systems and put them into whole new cities and environments.
"I had to live with that aspect of what I do for work, I have to leave my family.
"I call the kids probably two, three nights a week. I'm not FaceTiming every day—I'm at work, having crap cell service or terrible WiFi. You have to be able to let it go."
