A Leading Lady
When Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid hit the big screen, Katharine Ross was dubbed one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. It isn’t a surprise that Sam Elliott was one of the many men who felt shy to talk to her. Only in 2015 did he reveal his feelings about meeting her, “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.”

Even though the movie The Legacy wasn’t an award-winning picture, Elliott’s role had women all falling for him nationwide. Katharine Ross just happened to be one of those women. But perhaps it was his nude bottom scene that garnered the most attention. His scene earned him the unlikely accolade of “3 stars” by the “Bare Facts” nudity scenes guide. It’s the most stars an actor can get.
