In the glamorous world of Hollywood, where romances often fizzle and disappear in the blink of an eye, there are extraordinary stories that transcend the glitz and glamour—stories like the remarkable love story of the late Hollywood actor Sam Elliott and his beloved Katharine Ross. They are remembered not only for their on-screen contributions but also for their unwavering devotion to each other.
Sam Elliott’s true love, Katharine Ross, was a married, successful actress when they first met. Elliott, on the other hand, experienced love at first sight and realized he would have to be patient.
Sam Elliott, who is currently 77 years old, has been married to Katharine Ross for at least three long decades and counting.
There are undoubtedly many female Sam Elliott fans in the world. However, the Hollywood hunk has his sights set on just one woman: Katharine Ross, his wife of nearly forty years.
In fact, Sam and Katharine’s devoted bond looks like it belongs in a romantic Hollywood movie.
Elliott told AARP The Magazine that he was too shy to approach her and that he “didn’t dare try to talk to her.” She came into the limelight. I felt like a glorified extra in a bar scene, a shadow on the wall.”
Elliott was immediately smitten with Ross, but didn’t dare speak to her until they crossed paths again in 1978, on the set of The Legacy.
They clicked immediately and tied the knot six years later.
Ross separated from her former marriage in 1979 and the two married in 1984.
At the time, Elliott had never been married, while Ross, who is five years older than Elliott, was married to her fourth husband.
Elliott and Ross gave birth to their daughter, Cleo Rose, the year they married.
Ross probably couldn’t have been so sure how well her fifth marriage (!) would turn out given her history of failed relationships, but after thirty years she can be convinced that she made the right choice.
“We try to be unified, but we also share a shared sensibility. You don’t just walk away from s–t, you work outside of it. That’s how Elliott says the partnership lasts.”
Even better, Elliott and Ross were able to realize a dream they shared: to appear on screen together as husband and wife. They did it twice: in Love Letters, which Elliott calls his best work, and in The Hero.
So how does Elliott account for the pair’s success?
He continues, “Through mutual love and mutual respect,” describing Ross as “a pretty steady girl who’s been around the block.”
In the end, determination is key: “Like everything else, there are peaks and valleys, but you have to keep going,” Elliott told the San Francisco Chronicle.
Here are Elliott and Ross at the 91st Academy Awards looking amazing as ever. Elliott received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for A Star Is Born.
