Some Hollywood superstars capture our attention by living dazzling, lavish lives.
Others, like Hollywood hunk Sam Elliott, have gained recognition for a completely different reason: to show the world that genuine love exists.
Sam Elliott, 80, has been married to his beloved wife Katharine Ross for more than 30 years.
Sam Elliott, the Hollywood hottie, has a massive global female fan base. However, his passion is only for Katharine Ross, his thirty-year-old wife.
Ross played a key role in the film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in which the two first met. In the meantime, Elliott told AARP: “I was merely a glorified extra in a bar scene, a shadow on the wall.”
Elliot fell in love with Ross at first sight, but he kept his feelings to himself. He considered himself a “glorified extra,” whereas Ross was recognized as a Hollywood celebrity.
“He recalls that all he could do was observe Katharine come and go, and he never spoke to her.” I would never have considered talking with her.
Elliott was, of course, immediately drawn to Ross. However, he refused to quit up and patiently waited for the right opportunity.
However, it wasn’t until they reconnected on the set of The Legacy in 1978 that he was willing to interact with her.
They were instantly drawn to each other, and six years later, they married.
Elliott had never married before, although Ross had married four times. Given her history of failed marriages, Ross was unlikely to be so sure in the success of her fifth marriage. Three decades later, she can be confident that she made the right decision.
The couple excels at offering mutual support for one other’s professional goals. According to the New York Times, Elliott almost turned down his breakout part as Cher’s biker boyfriend in the 1985 picture Mask because he and Ross were on honeymoon in Hawaii.
Ross called the agent that evening to tell her that she would make sure her husband arrived on time for the role test after Elliott informed his agent that he would not be returning early.
The couple’s daughter, Cleo Rose, is now an adult. After finishing her professional vocal training at the Joanne Barron/D.W. Brown Acting Studio, she rose to prominence as a musician.
