The home that served as the residence of astronaut Garrett Breedlove (Jack Nicholson) in the 1983 comedy drama "Terms of Endearment" has been listed on the open market with a $3.5 million price tag, according to several news reports.

Directed by James L. Brooks, "Terms of Endearment" followed a mother and daughter as they navigated through relationships, family issues, life and death. It is based on the novel by Larry McMurtry.
Nicholson was excited when he was chosen to play the role of Garrett Breedlove. Talking about the casting, he told Eleanor Quin of Turner Classic Movies:
"...I've always wanted to play older...One of the things that motivated me with that character is that everyone was starting to make a total cliche out of middle age crisis, they were dissatisfied, they hated their job. I just went against the grain of the cliche. I just wanted to say, 'Wait a minute. I happen to be this age and I'm not in any midlife crisis. I'm not an object of scorn or pity by anybody ten years younger than me.' There's got to be other people like me, so I'd like to represent that in this movie."
