She Was Raised by Two Famous Actors Who Were Happy She Didn’t Follow Their Path — but She Found Her Own Spotlight — Photos
The family connection could hardly have been more cinematic. Sam’s unmistakable voice and rugged screen presence made him a Western favorite. At the same time, Katharine became one of her generation’s most recognizable actresses through films including “The Graduate,” “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” and “The Stepford Wives.”
Cleo could have pursued the same profession with two extraordinary examples at home. Instead, she wanted the microphone, and her parents apparently felt relieved that Hollywood had not claimed a third member of the family.
Katharine Ross, Sam Elliott, and their daughter Cleo Rose Elliott arrived together in style at “The Golden Compass” premiere held at the Ziegfeld Theater on December 2, 2007, in New York City. The family coordinated in winter-ready black-and-white looks, with Sam looking sharp in a black suit, waistcoat, and white tie, flanked by Katharine in a cozy white turtleneck draped with a pale scarf and Cleo radiant in a ruffled cream top, black cardigan, and a colorful shoulder bag. | Source: Getty Images
“My parents are totally supportive of this,” Cleo told the Malibu Times. “They’re just happy I don’t want to be an actor.”
Her debut album, “No More Lies,” was released at the end of January 2009. Cleo described its sound as pop rock but made no secret of her affection for much heavier music. She had written every track except one.
Cleo Rose Elliott celebrated a musical milestone by announcing that her debut solo album, “No More Lies”—originally released in 2008—had officially arrived on major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. The promotional graphic highlighted the album’s hand-drawn illustrated cover art depicting a serene blonde woman alongside her initials, “CRE,” marking the long-awaited digital streaming debut of her early hard-rock project. | Source: Instagram/cleoroseelliott
