Katharine Ross stabbed by daughter 

disrespect from the person you gave life to can be devastating

I understand how she feels. The emotional pain can often hurt beyond the physical abuse. You raise your child ,for me as a single parent for 14 years, and when they turn on you it can be devastating .

Always loved Katherine Ross....so glad she & Sam Elliott are together. Love his work too. Such a grief regarding their daughter. I hope there is healing for all.

Where was Sam Elliott in all of this? He is the biological father, does he not have a say how his daughter treats her mother? No matter how inferior she may have felt by her mother's success, at 26 you don't try and kill your mother! She seems mentally ill, this is not normal behavior. Before I listened to this, I thought maybe she was 14 or 15, kids at that age can go off the rails because they are children in an adult world but 26? That is just mental illness. If she did this with anyone else, she would be in jail or put away as a danger to society. How devastating.

She was once the "It" girl in Hollywood, and was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Overshadowed by her parents fame? Thats just selfish or egotistical. Normal kids dont compete with their parents. They dont even follow the same career. They go to school and find themselves and work for their own careers. Not ride their parents coattails.

To paraphrase Shakespeare: Oh sharper than a serpent's tooth, it is, than to have a thankless child."

If having a famous parent is a reason to attack that parent then there would have been thousands of children attacking their parents. It’s not a reason for anyone to do that

She is so beautiful with perfect face. A classic beauty, so stunning it takes your breath away. Ive always liked her work. Amazing❤

My heart goes out to all of the ladies who are experiencing this pain. God bless y’all 🙏❤️

Ross wasn't 'Mrs Robinson', the older woman was 'Anne Bancroft'. She was the young daughter.

Sam Elliot actually met her on the set of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid which he had a part in. He had a crush on her but never told her. He thought she was too big for him to approach. He has said that in many interviews.

Parents want the best for their children but it doesn't always happen

At 26, and her mother, 70, indicates how little restraint her daughter has. Stop making excuses for Cleo, a privileged, only child. . The legal action was necessary though, while not guaranteeing full protection, it offered Katherine a breathing space and has forced her daughter to take stock of her own emotional situation. I cannot imagine that her daughter would not have sort advice or professional medical help.

My mother was physically abusive. I had to defend myself from her once I got big enough, because no one else would.

I loved The Stepford Wives. The remake was terrible, nothing like the original. Katherine Ross was superb in her role.

Exactly, were was Sam Elliot during all this turbulance?

Sam Elliot and Katherine Ross were both in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They were also both in Shadow Riders.

This is really ironic. My wife and i just watched "Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here" 2 nights ago on television.

Cleo is 39 today. This is a very old incident.

Years ago her daughter pulled a gun on her

Our son left our lives 15 years ago. He will say it was our choice and we will say it was his. You do look back and wonder were we too strict, not strict enough? Did we give him enough or not enough love and support? Were we too intrusive or too removed? Sometimes there is no blame or reason. Just sadness. With Mothers Day coming up I feel the loss deeply. I am a mother without a child. Just 2anted to vent thank you

I can tell you from experience, that, I sympathize with Katherine about the inner struggle to get a restraining order against your own child. I had to get one against my own daughter. She became an alcoholic later in her life and had no place to live, so she thought she could come to my new house, take it over and act like it was hers, and order me around, all while she was drunk. I had to call the police to remove her and had to get a restraining order. It is a very hard decision to make. You bring this person into the world, and just because they don't get their way, they think they can attack us and make false allegations against us when we did nothing we are accused of. My daughter didn't have mental problems. She is just a controlling narcissist and wanted to live with me again RENT FREE. I put my foot down, and she didn't like it. Now we no longer speak. HER loss, not mine. I am free of her drama and I feel so much better. Sometimes you have to make difficult decisions to save your peace and sanity. And NO. My daughter was not a "spoiled brat". She just thinks she's above the rest of the world and we should cater to every need. For Cleo, I don't believe she is that "spoiled Hollywood brat". She just has her own mental issues for not getting her way.

Love her talent & beauty. I always get her & Ali McGraw mixed up. Both so beautiful & talented.

this was not the first time she was attacked by troubled 😅daughter

SAM ELLIOTT'S long time WIFE!!!

My mate absolutely loved Katherine if she was in a film he watched it, hearing this would be hurtful to him, life isn’t easy when you have complex emotions,

My son is now age 41, happily married with 2 healthy children. I can count on the fingers of 1 hand the amount of times I have felt hurt or disrespected by him. I never take any of that for granted.

Yes.. this makes me suspect mental health issues and I'm sure MS Ross is well aware of this. . It is sad that people are quick to fault someone when they don't really know the whole story and it is easy to jump to conclusions. Mental Health issues are often not easy to recognize as it can seem like personality differences . Diagnosing MH often takes some time before these " personality quirks " are realized as MH issues. ...people are often not diagnosed until they are young adults.. but the problems have been going on for years. I'm sure she loves her daughter and has suffered greatly by her inability to help and understand her. ... but these problems are not an easy fix. I wish the family well and hope all find peace.

I love Ms Ross I am saddened that this happened to a wonderful actress.

So sad. As parents, we do the best we can but often it is a thankless job. My heart goes out to her.

The kid looks unwell. Mentally damaged.

Dynamic? Drugs, money, prestige, and flat spoiled. We all grow up with those issues. Give me a break.

I've always thought Katharine Ross is such a beautiful woman & enjoyed her movies. The terrible situation with her daughter is so sad. A mother should never have to experience such hurt from her own child.

Wow 😳 we don't know when our kids grow up and we don't know if our kids will be violent

That happened back in 2011, for pete sake. Cleo has apparently straightened up these days. No news here.

So this happened 14 years ago.

The narration is so repetitive, the same information could have been shared in half the time.

Katherine Ross is so pretty!

Didn’t know Catherine Ross was married 5 times… sad when children are a danger to their parents….

Katharine had real Bambi Eyes.....gorgeous.

The endless repetition of previously stated facts gets terribly tedious in this piece

I love Katharine Ross. She gave excellent performances in The Graduate, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, and The Stepford Wives (original).

This happened almost 15 years ago and Cleo is now close to 40! And you bring it up now!!! WTF?!!

100 yards is a joke when violence is involved... a genuine joke.

This happened 12 years ago.

Katherine Ross is elderly, but absolutely not DEAD

You slipped in Susan St James in the photos.

Daughter entitlement! To attack a parent shows a child who believes she is owed more.

very much surprised.

And how was Ross as a mother?? Nobody seems to talk about it.

Hollywood is full of off the rails kids ..

Cleo's hair says a lot.

Their daughter, has had mental health issues for a long time . Just leave them alone! 😊

The pink hair and nose ring 🐂 explain it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Growing up in the 60s and 70s, I loved Katherine Ross. Another source said Cleo had bouts of violence in her childhood. While celebrity status could play a role in Cleo's behavior, it seems like she has mental health issues that need to be attended to. Sad that Cleo was Katherine's only child. Despite that, she seems to be enjoying a creative life.

No wonder Cleo was resentful. Each of her parents has that indefinable Hollywood "X Factor," that enigmatic entity that gives big stars their public appeal and staying power. Life is tough in this way for the offspring of glamorous movie stars, and these progeny rarely are blessed with that thing that made their parents so loved by the camera.

Thank you. 1. I kept wondering about the commentary. a)Did you interview Katherine or read her autobiography? b) There's much assuming and jumping to why/how/when. 2. And you didn't list that Katherine was one of the stars on The Colbys. The spinoff of Dynasty; it was a weekly series for two years. Charles Heston played her husband, and he was Barbara Stanwyck, the matriarch.

That was YEARS ago but dang!

I am a big fan of Katherine Ross & to hear about this is so sad & disturbing especially when it’s your child trying to hurt you …. Beyond heartbreaking

Born in Hollywood, yet goes to JC in Santa Rosa, more than 450 miles away. No mention of her parents or other family either. What kind of BS biography is this??

Thanks for a great video. Hollywood's Golden Age was from 1930-1960. In recent years people mistake the 60's and 70's as the Golden Age. It's was the beginning of Hollywood's modern age of cinema.

Substance abuse?

Katherine Ross was in the movie with Sam Elliot A Murder In Texas based on the Joan Olive Robinson Hill a Texas socialite.

The photograph you show at 4 min. and 37 seconds is Susan St. James, not Katherine Ross.

Anyone notice they keep repeating the same stuff over and over and over???

They live in OREGON!!!

She was great in "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, "Games," and "The Stepford Wives."

It's sad ---- the mother - daughter breakdown relationship dynamic. Even Brooke Shields and mother, Terri were estranged years before her mother passed. They never mended their relationship.

Wow! I did not know about this incident. Too bad.

ty

Some parents have this idea that if you don't measure up to their standards, you are worthless and worse than that, you are left out. I haven't spoken to my mother face to face in almost ten years. One of the most hurtful things she said, (many times), was "You should throw away the first two, those were your mistakes." I am the oldest of four and my brother and I were her mistakes as she called us. The younger two siblings were perfect in her eyes. No wonder I am estranged from them. When I left the family no one said anything, didn't try to understand or even ask why. They knew why and they didn't care.

Love seeing you acting🥰❤️❤️

Apart from inheriting her father’s height, there is such a resemblance between Ross and her daughter. I don’t know why but in my mind that somehow makes the stabbing worse, maybe as if the daughter was attacking herself…

This isn't first issue in actors lives when parents ignoring theirs child by work. The daughter was desperate for attention and love.

Sad story!!

This video could have last half the time. Too many repetitive statements.

Never heard about this which is unusual since anything with actresses and actors always make news in Socal!!!

is this really true she was stabbed by her daughter?

They met before Legacy. But she was the big star & he was more like an extra.

This violence is caused by these "kids" never heard of moving away, joining the Peace Corps or Military, and going to college/university out of state ETC. The Manandez's never heard of this.

Katherine was really beautiful when she was young.

I always liked her and wondered where she went or disappeared to. Now I know. What a shame.

Nice thoughtful biographical piece. Thank you. However, one item to note: Ross and Sam Elliot indeed may have met much later than the late '60's, although this is hard imagine.., since they both were in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" with Sam playing a much smaller role.

Please limit the repetitive script

I have a difficult time when men speak on behalf (speculate) how women think and feel. 99% of the time they are wrong. Keep your nose out of other people's business ESPECIALLY when it relates to their children.

Their paths first crossed on the set of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

This incident happened many yrs ago. Very old news

WHAT????????

Lots of celebrities kids have issues...just ask Charlie Sheen😂😢

She was born 1940,she can't be 70 yrs old ,your stories are not accurate, stop giving false statements about people you know nothing about,she's a public person dew too her career, but she has a private life,love both she,&husband Sam Eliot, if this is true safe healthy recovery too you Ms K.get well,help your baby.❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊😊😊

Sometimes you think you are listening to your adult children, but you're not. Mental health issues may be at play. Sometimrs it is difficult to be an only child.

I met her husband twice.

I must recommend the movie, ‘The Legacy’ wherein she and Sam Elliott starred together, 1978.

In the pictures the daughter is on the outside lookn in. Very telling... When children are violent towards their parent I always wonder what did the parent do behind closed doors. I know what mine did. Abusive parents are always actors in public wether famous or not...

You need an editor…in all of your videos you say the same thing over and over again and go back over the same clips you just covered 2 minutes prior!

Wow it’s sad I like Ross very pretty lady! I wander if her daughter just needed help emotionally and how was she as a teen !

She dated Peter Falk as well? ? See 13:28

Blood Betrayal

5 marriages? That says something.
