Popsugar Celebrity Oscars Young Sam Elliott Pictures A Star Is Born's Sam Elliott Is Handsome Now, But DAMN, Look at These Pics From the '70s 15 February 2019 by Amanda Prahl Image Source: Everett Collection Sam Elliott is one of those actors who seems like he's been around forever and has been in pretty much everything. A veteran character actor, Elliott is a first-time Oscar nominee this year, nominated for best supporting actor for his work on the musical drama A Star Is Born. Elliott has been easily recognisable onscreen for decades, with his slightly grizzled look and often a rather expressive mustache that wouldn't be out of place in a Western film (and has been in plenty of them). But in the early days of his career, in the 1960s and 1970s, Elliott's look was decidedly different. Check out a handful of pictures from Elliott's past below — what do you think?
