Recently Sam Elliott completed the film, A Star Is Born. Directed by Bradley Cooper was the director and Elliott had some very nice things to say about him, “He’s [Cooper] super intelligent, has an incredible work ethic. And Stefani [Lady Gaga] is equally incredible. She’s going to surprise a lot of people with her acting ability. It’s an amazing experience to be with them both.”

Elliott’s voice is obviously one that packs an accent that most people would die for, but it wasn’t always the appropriate one for the roles he played. He recalled a director once telling him so, “I did do a movie called Lifeguard back in 1976 with a director named Dan Petrie, who did a lot of incredible work. Every once in a while, he would tell me: “Let’s do it again, and this time, let’s be a little less south in the mouth.” That’s always amused me.”
