Sam Elliott & Katharine Ross

Despite its apparent elegance and luxury, the movie industry can destroy even the most stable romantic relationships. So, it’s great to see a showbiz marriage that has stood the test of time for these and other reasons. Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross have a love story worth celebrating in Hollywood. Their paths could have crossed during Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but they didn’t.

The Legacy brought the actors together again, sparking one of Hollywood’s most enduring love stories. Neither star garnered an Oscar nomination for the 100-minute horror, but the two were madly in love before filming ended. Elliott has discovered someone with whom he shares a similar sensibility in Ross. He married her a few weeks before their only child, Cleo, was born. The dedicated partners now split their time between their investment homes in Los Angeles and Oregon’s Willamette Valley.
