Sam Elliott has enjoyed good luck acting opposite female singers.

I remember Eric Stoltz sat in that makeup chair for four hours-plus, every day.
Ate all of his meals out of a fing straw, and never once complained about it.
We shot in the middle of the summer.
It was brutal for him.
Never complained once, that I ever heard."
“I loved working with Peter,” continues Elliott.
“I loved coming to the set and watching Peter.
I’d come in early on, and I’m still that way.
When I get to work, I go to the set.
I always liked to be back in the corner, like a mouse, watching that unfold.
It was an education.
I loved Peter and I loved Cher.
I mean, what the f?
Cher’s Cher, you know?
I mean, what’s there not to love about her.
It just was a glorious fing period of time.”
