@hiropompompohn@worldsokuho This is NOT how our culture is. This is what entitled, out of touch, small potion of celebrity feels is acceptable. The mass majority of Americans would never do this.
In the years before he died, Sam Elliott's father told him that his chances of landing on the big screen were unrealistic. Sam Elliott said, “He gave me that proverbial line, ‘You’ve got a snowball’s chance in hell of having a career in Hollywood’ He was a realist, my dad." His father never graduated from college himself but wanted that more than anything for his only son.
But Sam Elliott didn't take his father's words the wrong way. He said, “My father was a hard worker. He had a work ethic that I’ve fashioned mine after, and I thank him for that every day.”

P.S: Happy 82nd birthday, Sam Elliott!

@govt_corrupt 💯- I shared everything I had with friends and family, especially my best friend, but they wanted to go on a cruise in the fall so they got the shot
@Paul_L_OBrien It’s absolutely an honor, at least it was for me, to walk with my parents journeys going though it beside them. The random clarity, was absolutely amazing.
@GlennAndTonic My oldest sister at 14 when I born started me on A. I remember the Achilles tendon is the back of your foot. I also remember John Quincy Adams. Literally a baby but she took the time with me. Now I have to call her and ask if she remembers this but totally remember those books.
