[6] A native of New York, he had also worked for the Associated Press.

Ross auditioned but was not hired for a role in the film West Side Story (1961). [16] Her first television role was in Sam Benedict in 1962. [17] [18]

MGM put her in an unsold TV pilot about Bible stories. She signed a long term deal with Universal, who called her an "American Samantha Eggar", [21] despite some misgivings: "I didn't want a contract in the movies but a lot of people convinced me it was a good thing to do." [22]

MGM borrowed her for supporting parts in The Singing Nun (1966) and Mister Buddwing (1966). [17]

At Universal, Ross starred in a television film with Doug McClure, The Longest Hundred Miles (1967), [9] [22] then co-starred in Curtis Harrington's psychological thriller, Games (1967) with Simone Signoret and James Caan, which she later called "terrible". [23]

Ross's breakthrough role was as Elaine Robinson in Mike Nichols's comedy-drama The Graduate (1967), opposite Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft. Ross was only eight years younger than Bancroft who played her mother in the film. She had been recommended to director Nichols by Signoret. This part, in which Ross plays a young woman who elopes with a young man who had an affair with her mother, earned Ross an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, [24] and won her a Golden Globe Award as New Star of the Year. Commenting on her critical accolades at the time, Ross said, "I'm not a movie star... that system is dying and I'd like to help it along." [9]

She later said at this time "I got sent everything in town but Universal wouldn't loan me out." [22] After eight months she was in Hellfighters (1968) playing John Wayne's daughter who romances Jim Hutton.

Ross was cast as a Native American woman in Universal's western film Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here (1969), starring Robert Redford.[ citation needed ] In August 1968, she signed a new contract with Universal to make two films a year for seven years.

[27] She was paid $175,000 for her performance in the film. [28] For her roles in both Tell Them Willie Boy is Here and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Ross won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress. [29]

She was dropped by Universal in the spring of 1969 for refusing to play a stewardess in Airport starring Burt Lancaster and Dean Martin, another role that went to Jacqueline Bisset. [15] Ross eventually got out of her Universal contract, which, however meant later on she lost out to Tuesday Weld on a film she greatly desired to do, an adaptation of Play It as It Lays , because it was a Universal production. [22] Instead, she had a starring role in the drama Fools (1970) opposite Jason Robards.

Preferring stage acting, Ross returned to the small playhouses in Los Angeles for much of the 1970s. [30] "I'm aware that I have the reputation for being difficult", she later said. [32]

One of her best-known roles came in 1975's film The Stepford Wives , for which she won the Saturn Award for Best Actress. [33]

[34] She was also in The Betsy (1978) and the disaster film The Swarm (1978).
