The only sad thing about BCatSK is that Paul Newman was relatively unsexy in that role -- good as he was! In all of his other movies, he was the hottest cast member. But in BCatSK, that was played down. He did not get a fake-rape scene with Katharine Ross (hard to know how to feel about that scene, BTW, in the #metoo era, but at least it was fake). (FYI, in real life, as you probably know, Katharine Ross is married to Sam Elliott.)

Sorry, just a bit confused here. When you mention that Newman did not get a fake-rape scene with Katharine Ross, are you using that to describe the scene between Redford and Ross where he gestures with his gun to get her to undress, and ultimately she snaps at him for being late? (Not to argue the "fake-rape" point; I just want to be clear on what you're saying. It certainly sets up to look like he's going to rape her.)
Incidentally, I fell in love with Katharine Ross, too. I've always felt she was just about the prettiest woman I've ever seen in a movie. And I do mean pretty. I would never have called her glamorous or gorgeous, just pretty, and I mean that in the best possible girl-next-door kind of way (sorry for the cliche).
I don't know who got luckier, Sam Elliott, or Katharine Ross.

I remember that but only ever saw a few episodes, to the best of my recollection. It was probably on against something else that we watched in my family. Of course that was way before anybody even dreamed of any kind of home recording of TV shows or movies.

I never really liked her for some reason. Not in Butch Cassidy, not in The Graduate. I can't justify it, just one of those things. So her marriage to Sam Elliott increases her credibility with me.
Yes, that's the scene I meant. And good point, it's not quite a fake rape. Fake anticipation of an imminent rape.

I had a doozy last night, but I can remember only a small part of it. I was getting married! To a woman! My attendants were to be my best friend from high school, and another friend from high school whom I have not seen since probably within a year or two of our graduation; in the dream they both looked just as they did when we were in high school. Wedding guests were coming to the house I grew up in. I remember I was wearing a bathrobe and needed to get dressed for the ceremony, but that's about all I can remember.
