Katharine Ross Seemingly Made Peace at 84 with Only Daughter with Sam Elliott after Litigation
- Sam Elliott’s wife, Katharine Ross, celebrated 84!
- Now Ross has made peace with their only daughter after litigation and misunderstandings.
- Sam explained why their 39 years of marriage worked.
Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross are one of Hollywood’s couples that managed to make their relationship work, as they had been married for 39 years in early 2024! Reaching so many years as a United States celebrity was quite the feat.
The actor was famous for starring in movies like “The Big Lebowski” and “Tombstone.” Sam, well-known for his bushy mustache and love for acting as a cowboy, military character, and biker, also appeared in the 2015 television series “Justified” and “The Ranch.”

In 1978, the actor and his future wife met while filming the movie “The Legacy” in London, where they played a couple. The star even got to do voice-over work as the forest fire-prevention mascot “Smokey Bear!”
His long history in the entertainment industry made him and others one of Hollywood’s most well-known leading men. Almost a decade earlier, the “A Star Is Born” actor, featured in the movie with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper as Bobby, had a small role in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.”
However, he never met Katharine on the set. In 2015, he explained that he didn’t talk to her back then because she was the leading lady. Sam described himself as a “shadow on the wall” and an extra compared to Katharine.

Fate did bring them together, and they fell in love, and by 2018, the couple was dividing their time between their Oregon and California homes. The actor confessed that marriage was work but worth it.
He said their relationship lasted because they had a “common sensibility.” However, another thing that played a significant role in their longevity was that they also worked at being together and the past issues that they couldn’t just walk away from, adding that things progressed well:
“Through mutual love and a mutual respect.”
