The Love Connection
During the same time, Sam’s love life was getting hot as well. He and Katherine Ross (who was in Butch Cassidy) co-starred with him again. This time in the 1978 horror flick, ‘The Legacy.’ It was almost ten years since they first co-starred in the same movie. And again, Elliott had just a cameo appearance, and the two never shared any scenes at the time.
The Legacy film ended up becoming more than an opportunity to take his career to another level. It was his first starring role in a major motion film, but it was also the beginning of a serious relationship with a beautiful co-star. Wedding bells were going to be ringing in Hollywood very soon.
