Early life

Samuel Pack Elliott was born in Sacramento, California, on August 9, 1944, the son of Glynn Mamie (née Sparks), a physical education tutor and high school coach, and Henry Nelson Elliott (1911–1966), who worked as a predator control specialist for the Department of Interior. Elliott's parents were originally from El Paso, Texas, and he has an ancestor who served as a surgeon at the Battle of San Jacinto. He and his family moved from California to Portland, Oregon, when he was 13 years old.

Elliott spent his adolescent years in northeast Portland, and graduated from David Douglas High School in 1962. Elliott attended the University of Oregon as an English and psychology major for two terms before dropping out. He returned to Portland, Washington, where he completed a two-year degree and appeared as Big Jule in a stage production of Guys and Dolls. Elliott, according to the Vancouver Columbian newspaper, should be a professional actor. Elliott enrolled at the University of Oregon and pledged to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity following his Clark graduation in 1965. He was forced to leave early after his father died as a result of a heart attack.

Elliott moved to Los Angeles in the late 1960s to pursue a career in acting, but his father barred him from doing so, instead advising him to obtain a college diploma. "You've got a snowball's chance in hell of having a career in (Hollywood)," Elliott said. "He was a realist, my dad was a genius." He was a hard worker. He had a work ethic that I've fashioned mine after, and I thank him for that every day." Elliott spent time in engineering before transferring to Van Nuys, California, for the 146th Airlift Wing (the Hollywood Guard).

Personal life

In 1984, Elliott married actress Katharine Ross, her fifth husband. They have a daughter, Cleo, who is a singer from Malibu, California. Ross and Elliott live on a Malibu seaside ranch that they purchased in the 1970s. Elliott also owns a house in Oregon's Willamette Valley. He took over his childhood home in northeast Portland after his mother's death in 2012 at the age of 96.

The struggle with notoriously cringe award show host skits has broken out for Aubrey Plaza and Jenna Ortega. On Friday, the pair shared their common deadpan habits by announcing Sam Elliott as the recipient of an outstanding achievement by a male actor in a television film or limited series. Plaza said, "I don't know why they paired us up together," despite standing in silence and eerily peering out into the audience for several moments, to which Ortega replied, "We have nothing in common." Plaza said with a smile in the face, "We should find the people who did this," before the pair recited in unison, "We should curse their families and watch as misfortune follows their bloodline for the next seven generations." The whole audience was in stitches over their sullen delivery, including Adam Sandler and Angela Bassett, who were seen cracking up in their seats.
