Kris Kristofferson

**Kris Kristofferson** (22 Junie 1936 - 28 September 2024) was 'n Amerikaanse countrysanger, liedjieskrywer en akteur. Onder sy liedjieskryfkrediete is "*Me and Bobby McGee*", "*For the Good Times*", "''Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down*" en "*Help Me Make It Through the Night''", wat almal treffers vir ander kunstenaars was.

In 1985 het Kristofferson aangesluit by mede-country-kunstenaars Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson en Johnny Cash in die country-musiek-supergroep die Highwaymen, wat 'n sleutel-kreatiewe krag was in die outlaw country-musiekbeweging wat die tradisionele Nashville country-musiekmasjien vermy het ten gunste van onafhanklike liedjieskryf en produseer.

As akteur was Kristofferson bekend vir sy rolle in *Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid* (1973), *Blume in Love* (1973), ''Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore* (1974), *A Star Is Born'' (1976) (wat hom  'n Golden Globe-toekenning vir beste akteur besorg het), *Convoy* (1978), ''Heaven's Gate* (1980), *Stagecoach* (1986), *Lone Star* (1996), en die *Blade*-filmtrilogie (1998–2004). Kristofferson is in 2004 in die Country Music Hall of Fame opgeneem en het die Grammy Lifetime Achievement-toekenning in 2014 ontvang.
