Early
life
Costner was born in Lynwood,
California, the youngest of three sons (the middle of whom died at birth). His
mother, Sharon Rae (née Tedrick), was a welfare worker, and his father, William
Costner, was an electrician and later utilities executive at Southern California
Edison.[1][2] Costner's paternal heritage originates with German immigrants 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 Middle School and Villa Park
High School. Costner was not academically inclined. Rather, he enjoyed sports,
took piano 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 California as his father's career progressed,[3] Costner has
described 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), attending 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 State University, Fullerton, in 1978.[3]
Post-graduation
Costner became interested in acting
while in his last year of college,[3] and on graduation married Cindy Silva. The
couple honeymooned in Puerto Vallarta and on the return plane journey had a
chance encounter with actor and fellow passenger Richard Burton, who had
purchased all the seats around him for solitude. Burton agreed to speak to
Costner after he finished his book. Costner, who had been taking acting classes,
but had not told his wife about his desire to be an actor, watched Burton
closely and approached when Burton gestured. Costner told Burton that he would
prefer that his life was not filled with the type of drama that had followed
Burton and asked if he would have to tolerate that if he became an actor. Burton
replied, "You have green eyes. I have green eyes. I think you'll be fine." After
landing, Burton's limousine pulled up to the curb where Costner and Cindy were
waiting for a taxi, where Burton wished Costner luck. Costner would never see
Burton again, but credits Burton with partially contributing to his
career.[1][9]
Having agreed to undertake a job as
a marketing executive on return, Costner began taking acting lessons five nights
a week, with the support of his wife.[3] His marketing job lasted 30 days. He
took work which allowed him to develop his acting skills via tuition, including
working on fishing boats, as a truck driver, and giving tours of stars'
Hollywood homes to support the couple while he also made the audition
rounds.[1]Career
Career
Acting
Costner allegedly made his film
debut in the film Sizzle Beach, U.S.A. Although a biography claims it was
actually filmed in the winter of 1978-1979, the film was not released until
1986.
Costner made a very brief cameo in
the 1982 Ron Howard film Night Shift, he is listed in the credits as 'Frat Boy
#1' and appears at the climax of a frat-style, blow-out party in the New York
City morgue, when the music is suddenly stopped by a frantic Henry Winkler,
Costner can be seen holding a beer and looking surprised at the sudden halt of
celebration.
He appeared in a commercial for the
Apple Lisa and Table for Five in 1983, and, the same year, had a small role in
the nuclear holocaust film Testament. Later, he was cast in The Big Chill and
filmed several scenes that were planned as flashbacks, but they were removed
from the final cut.[3] His role was that of Alex, the friend who committed
suicide, the event that brings the rest of the cast together. All that is seen
of him are his hair and his slashed wrists as the mortician dresses his corpse
in the movie's opening scenes.[10] Costner was a friend of director Lawrence
Kasdan, who promised the actor a role in a future project.[3] That became 1985's
Silverado and a breakout role for Costner.[3] He also starred that year in the
smaller films Fandango 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, directed by Tony Scott (Costner
had wanted to direct it himself).
He followed this with Robin Hood:
Prince of Thieves (1991), the Oliver Stone-directed JFK (1991), The Bodyguard
(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 fiction-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 Costner.[11]
Costner then starred in the golf
comedy Tin Cup (1996) for Ron Shelton, who had previously directed him in Bull
Durham.[3] He developed the film Air Force One and was set to play the lead role
of the President, but ultimately decided to concentrate on finishing The Postman
instead. He personally offered the project to Harrison Ford.
His career revived somewhat in 2000
with Thirteen Days, in which he portrayed a top adviser to John F. Kennedy. The
western Open Range, which he directed and starred in, received critical acclaim
in 2003, and was a surprise success commercially. He received some of his best
reviews for his supporting role as retired professional baseball player Denny
Davies in The Upside of Anger, for which he received a nomination from the
Broadcast Film Critics Association and won the San Francisco Film Critics Circle
Award for Best Supporting Actor.
After that, Costner starred in The
Guardian and in Mr. Brooks, in which he portrayed a serial killer. In 2008,
Costner starred in Swing Vote. Costner was honored on September 6, 2006 when his
hand and foot prints were set in concrete in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre
alongside those of other celebrated actors and entertainers.
In 2010, The Company Men debuted on
the Sundance Festival starring Costner with Ben Affleck. It had good reviews. 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 announced that he would 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. In January 2012 Costner
had to admit funding did not come through, and that he still hopes to make it in
2013.
He was also about to team up again
with director Kevin Reynolds in Learning Italian. Costner would play a CIA agent
stationed in a coastal Italian town in order to keep an eye on a KGB operative.
However, the movie did not get past pre-production phase because they could not
get the money together and it is currently not known if the movie will ever be
made.
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
Costner had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts, most likely to be the
tv-series directed by Kevin Reynolds called Hatfields & McCoys.[citation needed]
Country
music
Costner is the singer in Kevin
Costner & Modern West, a country rock band which he founded with the
encouragement of his wife Christine. They began a worldwide tour in October
2007, which included shows in Istanbul and Rome. The group also performed at
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Daytona International Speedway and Lowe's
Motor Speedway in Concord, NC.
The band released a country album,
Untold Truths, on November 11, 2008 on Universal South Records. The album peaked
at #61 on the Billboard Top Country Albums and #35 on the Top Heatseekers chart.
Three singles ("Superman 14", "Long Hot Night" and "Backyard") have been
released to radio, although none have charted. The single "Superman 14" has been
made into a live music video.
In 2009, they went on tour with
opening act The Alternate Routes. In August, at the Big Valley Jamboree in
Camrose, Alberta, Costner and the band were scheduled next on stage when a
severe thunderstorm struck, collapsing the stage and stands on the main stage.
One person was reported dead and forty injured.[14] Later, an auction was held
to raise money for the two young sons of the woman killed. A dinner with Costner
was auctioned off for $41,000. Two guitars, one autographed by Costner, helped
raise another $10,000 each.[15]
A second Kevin Costner and Modern
West album, Turn It On, was released in February 2010 in Europe[16] and was
supported by a European tour.[17]
Other
ventures
Baseball
Several of Costner's films have
included a baseball theme. They include Chasing Dreams, Bull Durham, Field of
Dreams, For Love of the Game and The Upside of Anger, in which his character is
a former pro baseball player.
He has a home in Austin, Texas and
sometimes appears at University of Texas baseball practices and games. Costner
is a close friend of Longhorns baseball coach Augie Garrido from Garrido's days
coaching at Cal State Fullerton, the actor's alma mater. He cast Garrido to play
the role of the Yankee manager in For Love of the Game. He tries to attend every
College World Series game that Cal State Fullerton plays in Omaha, Nebraska.
Costner is a partial owner of the
Zion, Illinois-based Lake County Fielders independent baseball team team in the
North American League. The Fielders name is an homage to Field of Dreams, with
the logo showing a ballplayer standing amid a field of corn.[18][19]
Business interests
Costner owns 100% of the Midnight
Star casino, in Deadwood, South Dakota. The casino, its sports bar Diamond
Lil's, and its restaurant Jake's are named after characters and locations from
the movie Silverado. The facility contains posters, costumes, and other
memorabilia from Costner's films.
In July 2004, Costner fired Francis
and Carla Caneva, who managed the Midnight Star. A judge subsequently ordered
Costner to pay a percentage of $6.1 million to buy out the Canevas as his
business partners. In October 2006, Costner asked the South Dakota Supreme Court
to re-examine the ruling, as an accountant hired by the actor had determined the
market value of the casino to be $3.1 million.[20]
In 1995, Costner began developing
oil separation machines based on a patent he purchased from the US government.
The machines developed by the company were of little commercial interest until
the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, when BP took six of the machines from a company
in which Costner owned an interest, Ocean Therapy Solutions, for testing in late
May 2010.[21] On June 16, 2010 BP entered into a lease with Ocean Therapy
Solutions for 32 of the oil-water separation devices.[22]. Although Spyron
Contoguris and Stephen Baldwin previously sold their interests in Ocean Therapy
Solutions in mid-June to another investor in the company, they filed a lawsuit
in Louisiana District Court claiming $10.64 million for securities fraud and
misrepresentation. The suit claims that Costner kept a meeting with BP secret
from them, and the secret meeting resulted in an $18 million down payment on a
$52 million purchase and that after the down payment but before any announcement
another investor used part of the downpayment to buy out their shares, thus
excluding them from their share of the profits from the total sale.[23] The suit
claims that, despite public statements by Costner, Ocean Therapy Solutions, BP
and others to the contrary, Baldwin and Contogouris were told that BP was still
testing the machines and had not yet committed to lease the machines from Ocean
Therapy Solutions and that the other investor in Ocean Therapy Solutions
purchased their shares for $1.4 million to Baldwin and $500,000, to
Contogouris.[24].
In January 2009, Costner agreed to
take part in a commercial that was aired outside of the US for Turkish Airlines.
Costner had not flown with Turkish Airlines before, but said, "I have received
commercial proposals before. What is important is to work with a company that
gives importance to its clients. That is why I have chosen Turkish Airlines."
Costner, who is not of Turkish descent, also said that working with Turkish
Airlines "is a very important step in my life." (UTC) [25]
Philanthropy
Costner serves on an honorary board
for The National World War I Museum in Kansas City. In spring 2011, he recorded
two radio spots for the museum that were aired on Kansas City Royals Radio
Network.[26]
NASCAR
Costner was named ceremonial Grand
Marshal of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series' Auto Club 500 which took place on
February 25, 2007, at the California Speedway.[27] In 2008, he worked with the
NASCAR Media Group and CMT Films to help produce the NASCAR Documentary, The
Ride of Their Lives which would be released in 2009. Costner would be the
narrator for that documentary. Also in 2009, he was named the spokesperson for
NASCAR Day which took place on May 15. The next day, May 16, he and his country
music band would perform in the infield of Lowe's Motor Speedway as well as
participate as a judge in the 2nd annual Pennzoil Victory Challenge before the
25th Running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.
Personal life
Relationships
While in college, Costner was a
member of Delta Chi fraternity.[1] He started dating fellow student Cindy Silva
in March 1975, and their subsequent marriage three years later produced three
children: Anne "Annie" Clayton (born April 15, 1984), Lily McCall (born August
4, 1986), and Joseph "Joe" Tedrick (born January 31, 1988). The couple divorced
in 1994 after 16 years of marriage. He has a son, Liam (born in 1996), with
Bridget Rooney, with whom he had a brief relationship following his divorce.[28]
In 1996, he cohabited with
supermodel Elle MacPherson.[29]
On September 25, 2004, Costner
married his girlfriend of four years, German-American model and handbag designer
Christine Baumgartner,[30] at his ranch in Aspen, Colorado. Costner took his new
bride for a canoe ride on a lake following the ceremony. The couple honeymooned
in Scotland.[31] Their first child, Cayden Wyatt Costner, was born on May 6,
2007 at a Los Angeles hospital.[32] Their second son, Hayes Logan, was born on
February 12, 2009,[33] and their third child, a daughter named Grace Avery, was
born on June 2, 2010.[34]
Sports
The actor plays regularly in
celebrity golf tournaments, including the PGA Tour's annual pro-am at Pebble
Beach, California and the BMW Pro-Am held each April in Greenville County, South
Carolina. Costner is a member at Birnam Wood Golf Club in California.
Costner is a fan of the London
football team Arsenal F.C. While filming Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, he had
the opportunity to attend a game and has followed the team ever since.[35]
Political activism
Since 1992, Costner has financially
supported a variety of Democratic Party politicians, including Al Gore and Tom
Daschle, but also made contributions to the Republican Party's Phil Gramm as
late as 1995.[36] He said publicly in 2008 that he has no ambition to run for
political office, adding "I've lived quite a colorful life."[37]
In the final days before the 2008
election, Costner campaigned for Barack Obama, visiting various places in
Colorado—a state in which he has a home. In his speech, Costner stated the need
for young voters to get to the polls, early and with enthusiasm. "We were going
to change the world and we haven't," Costner said at a Colorado State University
rally. "My generation didn't get it done, and we need you to help us."[38]
