When he was only eighteen, Sam Elliott’s father died of a heart-attack. Though he had never approved of Elliott as an actor, his death motivated Elliott to work even harder to achieve his dream. In an interview, Elliott said, “He died thinking, ‘Man, this kid is going to go down the wrong path’, and I think on some levels that was either hard on me or made me more focused in my resolve to have a career.”
