Sam and Katharine never met in person, but they first appeared together on screen in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in 1969. Elliott was reportedly demoted to a minor role as “Card Player No. 2” while Katharine had one of the leads, according to an interview he gave to AARP magazine.

“I was a shadow on the wall in a bar scene, a glorified extra.” They first became romantically involved in 1978, when they co-starred in the horror movie Legacy. Four months after their 1984 wedding, their daughter Cleo Rose was born.

Cleo Rose may have inherited Sam’s talent for singing, but Sam was first introduced to Lady Gaga’s music by Cleo Rose before they collaborated on A Star Is Born.

Why did Cleo Rose Elliott stab her mother Katharine Ross?

Writing in the restraining order in March 2011, Katharine disclosed that her daughter Cleo had been violent as a young kid and turned violent as an adult.

After Cleo allegedly slashed Katharine with scissors and Katharine filed a restraining order against her daughter, the acrimony in their relationship became public.

The 81-year-old actress claimed that her daughter suddenly lost her fury and started muttering, “I want to kill you.” She then kicked the cabinet door, and when Katharine tried to call the police, Cleo used scissors to cut the phone line.

After making a threat to use the scissors to cut her eye out, Cleo instead stabbed her six times in the right arm.
