Kevin Costner was born in Lynwood, California, on January 18, 1955. 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.
Kevin Costner is the youngest of 3 boys, but his middle brother died at birth. Kevin grew up in Compton, California, and was raise Baptist.
Due to his father’s career, the family kept moving frequently around various parts of California, particularly during his teenage years.
Kevin attended Mt. Whitney High School before moving to Orange County, California, where he eventually graduated from Villa Park High School in 1973.
Kevin Costner continued his education at California State University, Fullerton, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in marketing and finance in 1978.
Kevin began to pursue acting after college, inspired by an encounter with the actor, Richard Burton, who encouraged Costner to chase dream. Costner made it to Hollywood the hard way: acting classes, odd jobs, auditions, and very little money.
Costner’s work paid off though, and soon, after a brief stint in a film in 1974, began to break into acting full-time in the 1980s.
Kevin Costner Film Career
Costner’s role in the 1987 film, “The Untouchables,” is widely accepted to have been his “big break,” followed by, “Dances with Wolves” in 1990, which he directed as well as acted. “Dances with Wolves” is also the film that got him his two Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture. But, he has appeared in a long list of projects and films throughout his career.
Technically, Costner made his feature film debut in the film “Sizzle Beach, U.S.A.”, which was filmed in the winter of 1978 to 1979. But, it was not released until 1981, and then re-released again in 1986. This led many to think that Costner’s first feature film was 1983’s “The Touch”.
In 1983, Kevin Costner also appeared in the films “Table for Five” and “Testament”, and featured in a commercial for Apple promoting the Lisa desktop computer model. In 1985 Kevin worked on numerous projects, including a starring role in director Lawrence Kasdan’s film “Silverado”, and the films “Fandango” and “American Flyers”.
“The Untouchables” was not Costner’s only film in 1987; he also starred in the thriller “No Way Out” that year. The following years, his performance in “Bull Durham” (1988) and “Field of Dreams” (1989) helped to solidify and secure his status as an A-list actor.
Kevin Costner partnered with producer Jim Wilson in 1990, and they formed the production company Tig Productions. The company’s first project was the epic film “Dances with Wolves” (1990), which, as previously mentioned, Costner both directed and starred in. That year Costner also starred in the film “Revenge” (1990).
Kevin followed his success with “Dances with Wolves” with many films that all either received critical acclaim or were box office hits. These include: “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves” (1991), “JFK” (1991), “The Bodyguard” (1992), and Clint Eastwood’s “A Perfect World” (1993). But, this string of successes were followed by a string of films that failed to garner much attention, and were generally received quite poorly by both audiences and critics.
These include: “The War” (1994), “Waterworld” (1995), and “The Postman” (1997). Out of these three, “The Postman”—which Costner not only starred in but directed—had the worst results. It actually ended up receiving five Golden Raspberry Awards, including the awards for Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and Worst Director.
Kevin Costner continued to act, and starred in the films “Tin Cup” (1996), “Message in a Bottle” (1999), and “Thirteen Days” (2000), “Rumor Has It” (2005), “The Guardian” (2006), “Mr. Brooks” (2007), “Swing Vote” (2008), and “The Company Men” (2010).
Kevin Costner then graced television screens in 2012 when he starred in the three-part History Channel miniseries “Hatfields & McCoys”. The series pulled in a record number of 13.9 million viewers. Since then, Kevin Costner has appeared in many films, and even landed the first regular television role of his career starting in 2018, on the series “Yellowstone”.
