KRIS KRISTOFFERSON | 83

Kris Kristofferson is not only a talented actor but an amazing singer and songwriter, too. He composed his songs and also collaborated with other singers to do better projects. One of the most hit songs he is best known for is Help Me Make it Through the Night, Sunday Mornin¡¯ Comin¡¯ Down, For the Good Times, and Me and Bobby McGee. In 1985, Kristofferson joined fellow country artists such as Johnny Cash, Willi Nelson, and Waylon Jennings in forming the country music supergroup, the Highwaymen.

Unknown to some, while under the pressure of his family, Kristofferson joined the U.S. Army, was commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant, and eventually attained a rank of a captain. Kris might have been so busy during his prime. He launched a hit album titled Me & Bobby McGee and even got an acting credit for The Star is Born. But he doesn¡¯t just concentrate on doing movies; he also does cartoons and live performances. Despite being diagnosed with Lyme disease, he remains active in the industry.
