Getting Replaced
Everyone has their ups and downs, and actors are no exception. When Elliott was starring in The Ambush Murder, where he played a white lawyer tasked with defending a black man wrongfully implicated in the murder of two white police officers, Elliott fell ill. He was so sick that the director eventually decided to recast James Brolin in the role.
Making It Official
From the moment they met, Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross were inseparable. When they finally decided to get married in 1984, the celebrity rags again went wild. Shortly after their wedding, the couple had their first and only child, a daughter named Cleo Rose. While everything started off rosy, the two would encounter a few thorns before long.
