Sam Elliott, the Hollywood heartthrob, has captured the hearts of many women around the world. But the one person who has always had his attention is Katharine Ross, his devoted wife of thirty years. Their love story is like something out of a Hollywood film, filled with ups and downs, perseverance, and unwavering support.
A Chance Encounter
Their love story began on the set of the classic film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Elliott, who had a small role in the film, describes himself as a “shadow on the wall, a glorified extra in a pub scene.” It was love at first sight for him, but he was too afraid to approach Ross, who was already an established Hollywood actress.
