After One Of His Divorces, James Caan Lived At The Playboy Mansion

The late James Caan was married four times in his lifetime. His ex-wives include Dee Jay Mattis, Sheila Ryan, Ingrid Hajek, and Linda Stokes. His four marriages produced five children including actor Scott Caan, best known for Hawaii Five-O.

Back when Scott was very young and James was going through a divorce, James lived at the Playboy Mansion for a short time. In 2003, James revealed, “To get over my divorce, I got a prescription to live at the Playboy Mansion for a while.” Young Scott would visit his dad at the infamous mansion and James once joked that he’d “have Scott bring me girls.”
