Kevin Costner



Kevin Costner migrants to South Carolina in the 1700s;[3] he also has

English and Irish ancestry, and has said that one of his

ancestors had "married a Cherokee woman".[3][4][5][6]

Costner was raised Baptist.[7] He attended Cabrillo Mid-

dle School and Villa Park High School. Costner was not

academically inclined. Rather, he enjoyed sports, took pi-

ano lessons, wrote poetry and sang in the First Baptist

Choir.[1][8] He has stated that a viewing of the film How

the West Was Won at the age of seven had "formed" his

childhood.[3]

Spending his teenage years in various parts of Cali-

fornia as his father’s career progressed,[3] Costner has de-

scribed this as a period when he "lost a lot of confidence",

having to make new friends often.[3] Costner lived in

Orange County, then in Visalia (Tulare County), attend-

ing Mt. Whitney High School, and then back to Ventura,

graduating from Buena High School in 1973. He went on

to earn a B.A. in marketing and finance from California

visiting Andrews Air Force Base in 2003

State University, Fullerton, in 1978.[3]

Career scenes.[10] Costner was a friend of director Lawrence Kas-

dan, who promised the actor a role in a future project.[3]

That became 1985’s Silverado and a breakout role for Cost-

Acting ner.[3] He also starred that year in the smaller films Fan-

dango and American Flyers.

Full-blown movie star status for Costner arrived in

1987, when he starred as federal agent Eliot Ness in The

Untouchables and in the leading role of the thriller No

Way Out.[3] He solidified his A-list status in the baseball-

themed films Bull Durham (1988) and Field of Dreams

(1989).[3]

Costner’s next success came with the epic Dances with

Wolves (1990).[3] He directed and starred in the film and

served as one of its producers.[3] The film was nominated

for 12 Academy Awards and won seven, including two

for him personally (Best Picture and Best Director).[3] The

same year saw the release of Revenge, in which he starred

along with Anthony Quinn and Madeleine Stowe, direct-

ed by Tony Scott (Costner had wanted to direct it him-

self).

He followed this with Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves

(1991), the Oliver Stone-directed JFK (1991), The Body-

guard (1992), and Clint Eastwood’s A Perfect World (1993),

all of which provided box office or critical acclaim. [3]

He then took the title role in the biopic Wyatt Earp

(1994), directed by Kasdan. It received bad reviews and

flopped[citation needed] at the box office. The science fic-

tion-post-apocalyptic epics Waterworld (1995) and The

Postman (1997), the latter of which Costner also directed,

were both commercial disappointments and both largely

regarded by critics as artistic failures.[3] However, The

Postman results were worse than Waterworld and ended

up "winning" five Golden Raspberry Awards, including

Worst Picture, Worst Actor and Worst Director for Cost-

side those of other celebrated actors and entertainers.

In 2010, The Company Men debuted on the Sundance

Festival starring Kevin with Ben Affleck. It had good re-

views. It was released in cinemas worldwide in January

2011. The film was considered to be an Oscar contender,

but did not get a nomination.

Costner will be returning to the director’s chair for

the first time in seven years in 2011 with A Little War of

Our Own. The film is about a local sheriff who must keep

his town from erupting into violence during World War

II. The other lead role is that of a German U-boat captain.

The screenplay is by Dan Gordon, who co-wrote another

sheriff movie for Costner, 1994’s Wyatt Earp.

He will also team up again with director Kevin

Reynolds in Learning Italian. Costner will play a CIA agent

stationed in a coastal Italian town in order to keep an eye

on a KGB operative.[10]

He also appears, as a special cameo, in Funny or Die’s

"Field of Dreams 2: Lockout".

Warner Bros. confirmed that Costner would portray

Jonathan Kent in the upcoming rebooted Superman film,

" Man of Steel", directed by Zack Snyder.[12] In 2011,

Costner confirmed his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Django

Unchained.[13] Later on, it was announced that Kevin had
