Hey Dan. First all….have a great time in Iceland. That sounds like a “bucket list” item for sure. Later this summer we (WoC and I) are doing one of her bucket list items….Niagra Falls….which she has never done….I have done numerous times. Enjoy.
Secondly…..thanks for taking the time on your vacation to stop in and share some of your awesome trivia lists. It is always good to see Michael Caine at the top of any list. Caine might be the most active actor on that first list…..as he has 5 movies in different degress of post production. No real surprise that Sam Elliott is her most frequent star…..though it is really hard to spot Mr. Elliott in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
The Swarm makes up over 25% of the movies with Oscar winning co-stars…..heck add in The Voyage of the Damn….and 40% of those actors come from just two movies. Good stuff as always….have a safe and fun trip.
I have seen 8 Katherine Ross movies. Five of these are in the top 6.
The HIGHEST rated movie I have seen is The Graduate.
The highest rated movie I have NOT seen is Danny Darko.
The LOWEST rated movie I have seen is The Swarm. Normally, I would not go in for that film, but I am trying to see all of Richard Widmark’s career.
Favourite Katherine Ross Movies:
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Shenandoah
The Graduate
Mister Buddwing
Other Katherine Ross Movies I Have Seen:
The Singing Nun
The Stepford Wives
Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here
The Swarm
Hey Flora….thanks for checking out our Katharine Ross page. I have seen 13 of her movies….with The Legacy being seen only a few days ago. Ah…The Swarm…what a great campy movie…and what a cast….Oscar winners everywhere dying on screen…what more could you want from a movie…..being good is not that important…lol. I have seen 6 of the 8 you have seen. I would like to track down and watch Mister Buddwing….one of the few 1960s James Garner movies that I have not seen. I think having two classic movies….The Graduate and Butch and Sundance will always keep Katharine Ross in the history of movies. Good stuff.
“Katharine Ross became a star quickly. Her beauty and charm made her an obvious choice for Hollywood longevity, but 5 years after her debut she virtually disappeared. She still makes occasional appearances but has yet to regain her former position.”
Just as The Oracle accurately summed up Robert Ryan’s status [see my previous post] so he has nailed down perfectly Katharine’s overall status in the film industry. “Will we ever see HIS OWN like again?”
Your chronological table above faithfully illustrates that Katy has not done much on the big screen since the words in that 1983 quote were generously shared with the world She has not been among the most prolific or successful in other respects either:
1/Just 5 TV productions since 1983, only 4 of them actually getting aired, 2004’s Capital City being a pilot that never reached living rooms so that her last television actual appearance was in 1991’s Conagher, a TV movie in which she was 2nd billed to Sam Elliot, though IMDB gives it a fine 74% rating.
2/Only 7 acting awards and 4 noms according to IMDB and a very relatively low net worth [in today’s lucrative film marketplace] of just $6.5 million.
However I wonder if Katy is aware of The Oracle’s take on her career and if so would HER thoughts on HIM be more appropriately summed up by the title of her last [ie 2017] film in your chronological table or by that of the first of the two 1972 movies that you mention in that table?
HI BRUCE A great coincidence your coming up with a new page for Katharine at the moment, as my brother [home from Australia for a short visit] and I had a protracted argument involving her last week.Like in some of those classic Bruce Cogerson/Bob Roy debates both of us were able to claim a kind of draw when we checked out the actual position-
1/I had argued that Rosemary Forsyth was in 1965’s Shenandoah whereas he insisted she wasn’t and that Katy was the leading lady. It transpires of course that they were both in it!
2/I had forgotten about Katy being in it whereas HE got that right.
3/However he had assigned to Katy [who was Ann, Duke Wayne Jr’s wife in the film] the wrong role of Jennie the wife of Doug McClure in the film whilst I had accurately been adamant that Rosemary had played Jennie. I can never forget that heart-warming scene where during the long trek in search of his missing sons my Jimmy makes for Jennie and her husband a belated honeymoon bed. [“You run a sad train Mister. It tales people where they don’t want to go – burn the train!”] Sadly no tenderness for Rosemary in The Master’s 1983 book as she gets no mention at all.
Also by the way, I asked my brother to clarify further for me the Russell Crowe /Brando stories that I mentioned earlier and (1) as I’ve told Steve, Russell claims he attacked my brother’s friend in a bar because Crowe thought that the friend had been looking aggressively at him [a famous movie star expecting not to be stared at in a public place– the mind boggles!] (2) the basket of fruit had been sent to my brother’s other [lawyer] friend in additional appreciation of some minor legal work done on Brando’s 2001 The Score contract.
“The sun don’t shine on the same dog’s a** every day” but it’s good to be the brother of a guy who has a friend who had a slight involvement with Marlon Brando’s final movie – calls for another outburst from me of the “Made it Ma.” Cliché!
Did you ever know that you’re my hero
And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings
Certainly I hope that other regulars are taking a note of my newfound celebrity and -who knows? -are maybe even thinking of asking for my autograph – Flora for example to include in that marvellous memorabilia collection of hers despite her not personally liking Hollywood’s Ace Mumbler!
It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I’ve got it all here in my mind.
I want you to know, I know the truth, of course I know it
I would be nothing without you

Hey Bob….interesting about your conversation with your brother and Katherine Ross. She made my radar when I recently rented The Legacy. While watching that one…I thought…I should do a page on her. Her first movie was that James Stewart western…probably Stewart’s last good western. Thanks for the further detail on Crowe and his troubled past. Gotta admit…I am not aware of Rosemary Forsyth at all. “Made it Ma”….very funny as well as the lyrics. Good stuff.
Hey Bob…..thanks for sharing your thoughts on Katharine Ross. The curse of 39 strikes again….She turned 39 in 1979….and only has 6 movies since then……and even in those movies she was in supporting roles. Still…she had a great run. Beat me to the punch on Joel again. This was the 301st Joel subject to get a UMR page…73.41% done with that book. I think making Joel’s book was an “honor”….not sure if he was writing the book….if she would have been among the 410 people listed in the book. At 79…I think she can survive on 6.5 million….plus her husband is in some ways at near the peak…as Sam Elliott finally got an Oscar nomination…just last year. Good stuff as always.
Hello Bruce,
I like very much this page because I was young when she started her movie carrier and with that two great huge succès the Graduate and Butch Cassidy and during some years she was everywhere and one of the big hope of Hollywood.
I remenbered she came to France to make this movie with Montand, if my memory is good the french title was Le hasard et la violence.
And then what happened???
The last film I saw with her was Voyage of the Damned with Faye Dunaway.
A great critic succes in France was Willy Boy with Robert Redford, he started to be a great star at that time but to day he is still a legend….
A very good day
Pierre
Hey Pierre…..good to hear from you. Good memories of Katharine Ross. She won a Golden Globe for her role in Voyage of the Damned…but yes….she pretty much stopped making movies after the early 1980s. The curse of 39 striking again? As she turned 39 in 1979. Butch and Sundance is where I fell in love with her. Saw that movie so many times growing up. Le hasard et la violence is indeed the original title for that movie….it barely played in North America. Interesting that Tell Them Willy Boy is Here was a success in France. Hope your day goes well too. Thanks for the feedback.
