Life Before Elliott
Did you know that Katharine Ross had already been married four times prior to meeting Elliott? It’s true! When she met Sam while shooting The Legacy, she was still with Gaetano Lisi. They would remain together until 1979.
Being Himself
After quite some time, the two finally made their relationship known. The media ate it up— after all, the two hottest people in the industry just got together! The pair was interviewed by Playgirl magazine. Elliott made his famous remark during that conversation: “I don’t want to be known as a sex symbol. There’s a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott.”
