Singer-songwriter and actor Kris Kristofferson, now 82, continued to focus on acting after starring in A Star Is Born, appearing in films such as Flashpoint, Heaven's Gate, The Last Days of of Frank and Jesse James, and Millennium, among many others. Rather than continuing his solo music career, Kristofferson formed the country music group The Highwaymen with Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Johnny Cash in 1985, touring until Jennings died in 2002 and Cash died in 2003. In 2004, Kristofferson was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Though Kristofferson divorced from Rita Coolidge, his second wife of seven years, in 1980, he was remarried in 1983 to his third wife, Lisa Meyers, to whom he is still married. Kristofferson has eight children from his three marriages, sharing five of those children with Meyers.
