Katharine Ross and Sam Elliott

Katharine Ross and Sam Elliott

During the filming of “The Legacy” in 1978, Sam Elliott found himself quietly falling for his co-star Katharine Ross. Elliott, with his deep voice and rugged charm, was already a figure of intrigue on set, but it was Ross’s grace and intelligence that captured him entirely. They spent long hours together between takes, learning each other’s rhythms and building a connection that neither had anticipated. Yet, both instinctively understood that their blossoming romance needed protection from the prying eyes of the press.
In a later interview with “Vanity Fair,” Elliott revealed, “We were building something fragile. It was too new and too precious to have other people’s opinions weighing on it.” The vulnerability in his voice reflected how much those early days meant to him. For Ross, who had already experienced the harsh glare of public attention during her earlier marriages and career peaks like “The Graduate,” the need for privacy felt even more vital. She had seen too many romances wilt under the magnifying glass of Hollywood.
Their time on “The Legacy” served as a rare bubble of intimacy. On set, they maintained professionalism, careful not to fuel any gossip. Behind the scenes, quiet dinners and long conversations deepened their bond. Elliott admired Ross’s subtlety, the way she listened more than she spoke, and how she carried herself with effortless dignity. He once said in a “Parade” magazine feature, “She had this elegance about her that could stop you in your tracks. I knew early on that she was unlike anyone I had ever met.”
Ross, in turn, found herself drawn to Elliott’s authenticity. In an interview years later with “Closer Weekly,” she recalled, “Sam never tried to impress anyone. He was who he was, whether cameras were rolling or not. That kind of honesty is rare in our world.” Their connection grew steadily, shielded by a mutual understanding that true intimacy required sacred ground, far removed from flashing cameras and magazine headlines.
Friends close to the couple later shared that there was an unspoken code between Ross and Elliott during those first few months. One crew member from “The Legacy” commented anonymously to “People” magazine, “You could feel something between them, but they were careful. It was like watching two people pass notes in class—silent but obvious if you looked closely enough.”
When Elliott reflected on those early days, he often emphasized the importance of patience. He believed that the slow pace at which their relationship developed made it stronger. In a 2015 interview with “The New York Times,” he said, “There is a beauty in waiting, in letting love grow in the quiet moments instead of blasting it out to the world before it’s ready.” It was a philosophy that guided them both as they navigated a romance that was at once exhilarating and terrifying.
Their bond deepened long after “The Legacy” wrapped, proving that their caution had been well-placed. Elliott once jokingly noted that winning Ross’s heart felt like winning an Oscar he never got to accept on stage. “She was the prize. Nothing else mattered once I had her,” he told “Vanity Fair,” his voice thick with emotion.
In protecting their young love from external pressures, Katharine Ross and Sam Elliott gave themselves the gift of a foundation built on trust and quiet understanding. They were not interested in spectacle; they were invested in building something real, something that could stand the test of time.
Their story remains a reminder that sometimes, the most beautiful romances are the ones shielded from the noise, nurtured in silence, and cherished away from the spotlight.

Cold plunges actually change your cells

Ice Water Dip

Ever wondered what happens to your body when you take those trendy ice baths? Scientists at the University of Ottawa just found out, and it’s pretty fascinating.

Cold water immersion for seven days significantly improves cellular resilience and autophagic function, helping cells manage stress better. This adaptation could enhance health and longevity, potentially preventing diseases and slowing aging at a cellular level.

People who received a flu shot this winter were MORE likely to get the flu

Flu Stats By Vax Status

This research is only the latest to suggest that flu shots simply do not work — and that any observational studies that seem to show their effectiveness are fatally flawed by what researchers called healthy vaccinee bias. (People who are vaccinated are historically healthier, more health-conscious, and more fearful of contagious illness and thus more likely to avoid situations where they might become infected than those who are not.)

Nationwide data is equally troubling.

As I reported in 2022, the number of flu shots has risen almost 15-fold in the United States since 1980, yet flu deaths have only increased. The Centers for Disease Control now says this year’s flu season might have been the deadliest in decades, with up to 130,000 deaths.

The media has been loathe to report that ugly number, since doing so might raise questions about both the effectiveness of flu jabs and whether Covid mRNA shots may have somehow damaged the immune systems of people who received them. At best, though, that figure suggests nothing we’re doing about the flu is working.

One serving of greens daily slows brain aging by over a decade

Salad Bowl

Is memory loss and decreased brain power inevitable as we age? Many people in their 40s, 50s and beyond are told that it is and there is nothing that can be done about it. Is that true? Of course not. Steps can be taken to not only stop memory loss, but also reverse it. Here is a simple step. New research from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found that eating just one serving of leafy green vegetables a day takes a decade off an aging brain. Two servings produced even greater effects. I explain how below.

There is considerable evidence that diets that are high in green leafy vegetables; highly-colored vegetables such as carrots, yams, and squash; and flavonoid-rich fruits like citrus, berries, and cherries are associated with prevention of age-related memory decline and Alzheimer’s disease. In particular, two large studies have shown that the consumption of green leafy vegetables, including spinach, kale, collards, and lettuce, had the strongest association with slowing down cognitive decline due to aging.

The hidden link between vitamins and hair loss

Woman and Lost Hair  In Hand

When hair thins or falls out more than normal, it’s often a signal that you’re low on some key nutrients. Nutrients like vitamins D, B12 and A, and iron, keep your hair looking full and healthy. If you don’t get enough, your locks could suffer as a result.

  • Vitamin deficiencies often cause hair loss, with nutrients like vitamins D, B12, A and iron playing key roles in maintaining healthy hair growth cycles
  • Vitamin D supports hair follicle development, while B vitamins help produce keratin — the protein that forms hair structure
  • Iron carries oxygen to hair follicles; deficiency causes poor growth, but too much is also harmful, with ideal serum ferritin levels being 20 to 40 ng/mL
  • Vitamin A regulates scalp health through sebum production; both deficiency and excess cause hair problems like dryness or thinning
  • A nutrient-rich whole foods diet is the best approach to addressing vitamin-related hair loss, with supplement used only when necessary after proper testing
