Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend both examples of couples goals but they are honeymooners compared to Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross – a Hollywood romance that has lasted for 40-years. In an industry that sees many couples come and go, the actor and actresses’ 34-year marriage is a triumph and the story of how it all happened is so sweet it belongs on the silver screen.
Elliott, 74, and Ross, 79, both made a name for themselves in Hollywood independently before they first met in 1978 on the set of the horror movie The Legacy, which was shot in London.

While this was the first time they officially met, Elliott admits he had encountered the lovely Ross before then, when he had a small role in Butch Cassidy almost a decade before. The actor was too shy to approach her, however, he told AARP The Magazine: “I didn’t dare try to talk to her then. She was the leading lady. I was a shadow on the wall, a glorified extra in a bar scene.”
