Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross

Sam Elliott has established himself as an actor who plays cowboys, bikers, and military men. But that gruff exterior and drawl may have helped him win the heart of his co-star in The Legacy, Katharine Ross. The actress has quite a career where she appeared in several movies like The Graduate, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Stepford Wives. Elliott admitted that he didn’t talk to Ross during the shooting of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid because he was just a glorified extra.

It was in the film The Legacy where sparks flew between them and soon, they were already married. Ross was supportive of her new husband and was the one who made sure that he got in the casting call for the film Mask, in spite of their being on their honeymoon. The couple’s net worth is enough to ensure that they don’t have to apply for personal loans in the long run.
