Life Before Elliott
Ross was no stranger to relationships. Before Elliott, she’d been married four times. In fact, she was still married to her fourth husband, Gaetano Lisi, when she and Elliott met on the set of The Legacy. Ross and Lisi divorced in 1979.
Being Himself
When the moment was finally right, the two opened up publicly about their relationship. Unsurprisingly, the media went into a frenzy over Hollywood’s hottest couple. In their 1976 Playgirl interview, Elliot famously said, “I don’t want to be known as a sex symbol. There’s a great stigma that goes with that tag. I want to be a Sam Elliott.”
