Sam Elliott

Did You Know?

• Sam is married to actress Katharine Ross and they have one daughter, Cleo.
• Sam showed his tush in The Legacy and the scene later won him a rather laughable honor - the highest rating the the 'The Bare Facts,' a book guide to movie nudity scenes.
• Sam starred in the television drama series, 'The Contender,' a role that lets Sam escape his cowboy or cop niches.
• Sam met his wife on his first big movie, Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid in 1969. It was nine years later while filming The Legacy together that they became inseparable.
