Kris Kristofferson, A Star Is Born Actor and Country Legend, Dies at 88
Kris Kristofferson, Golden Globe-winning actor of 'A Star Is Born' and "Me & Bobby McGee" singer-songwriter, died on Sept. 28. He was 88.
After graduating with his bachelor's degree in creative writing from Pomona, Kristofferson earned a Rhodes Scholarship and his master's in English literature at Oxford University's Merton College in 1960. Originally recorded by singer Bill Nash in 1968, "For the Good Times" didn't achieve mainstream success until Ray Price released his version in June 1970, shortly after the song appeared on Kristofferson's debut album in April of that year. Penned by Kristofferson and also recorded for his first album, "Sunday Mornin' Coming' Down" captured the attention of Nashville crooner Ray Stevens and country music legend Johnny Cash.
