SAM ELLIOTT & KATHARINE ROSS – 36 YEARS

Sam Elliott was born on August 9, 1944. He is an American actor and has received many honors, including the National Jury Award, and has won the Academy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and two Primetime Emmy Awards. Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross’s 36 years of marriage prove that a Hollywood love story is possible. Amidst the failing love affairs in the business they’re in, their love stands out.

The two first met in 1969 in the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Although it mainly starred Paul Newman and Robert Redford, Elliott had a small role there. In 1978, they once again met when they did the film The Legacy. Although Ross needed the help of divorce lawyers a number of times, it seemed like she wouldn’t need them anymore when she met Elliott. After her last and fourth divorce, she married Elliott in 1984.
