Kevney #14: They Were In Love, But It Wasn't Meant To Be
Welcome to the #14th Kevin & Whitney Appreciation Thread Supporter List: AchrisL
~~~~~ Kevin & Whitney's Biodatas F u l l name: Kevin Michael Costner Kevin was born in Lynwood, California, on January 18, 1955, the third child of Bill Costner, a ditch digger and ultimately an electric line servicer for Southern California Edison, and Sharon Costner. He has 2 older brothers (middle brother died at birth) and was raised Baptist. Costner was not academically inclined. Rather, he enjoyed sports, took piano lessons, wrote poetry and sang in the First Baptist Choir. He has stated that a viewing of the film How the West Was Won at the age of seven had "formed" his childhood. At 18, he built his own canoe and paddled his way down the rivers that Lewis & Clark followed to the Pacific. Despite his present height, he was only 5'2" when he graduated high school. Nonetheless, he still managed to be a basketball, football and baseball star. In 1973, he enrolled at California State University at Fullerton, where he majored in business. (more info here) M o v i e s famous for: Bull Durham, Dances with Wolves, The Bodyguard, Waterworld F u l l name: Whitney Elizabeth Houston Whitney Houston was born into a musical family on 9 August 1963, in Newark, New Jersey, the daughter of gospel star Cissy Houston and ex-army serviceman John Houston. Her cousin is singing star Dionne Warwick. She has 2 older brothers. Whitney began singing in the choir at her church, The New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, as a young child and by the age of 15 was singing backing vocals professionally with her mother on Chaka Khan's 1978 hit, 'I'm Every Woman'. She went on to provide backing vocals for Lou Rawls, Jermaine Jackson and her own mother and worked briefly as a model, appearing on the cover of 'Seventeen' magazine in 1981. M o v i e s famous for: The Bodyguard, Waiting to Exhale, The Preacher's Wife ~~~~~ "I kissed her once for everybody in America and I kissed her once for myself..."

Kevney Fanfiction Conversations by Gobsmacked82
screencaps 1 | screencaps 2 | screencaps 3 | screencaps 4 Kevin's Eulogy To His One True Love, Whitney Watch eulogy here Read full transcript of Kevin's eulogy here ~~~~~ A Glimpse Into Two Worlds: Kevney written by SaffaGirl God gave Whitney a glimpse of what her life would be like had she married someone with Kevin's character. He gave her a glimpse of what it would be like to be loved unconditionally, a glimpse of what it is like to be respected by a man, a glimpse of what it is like to be treated like a lady, a glimpse of what it is like to be given compliments, a glimpse of what it is like to be accepted for who you are. I firmly believe that Kevin had discernment when he saw the script of the Bodyguard, and he knew in his heart of hearts that Whitney should be his leading lady, but at the same time he could not understand why. He could have sat on his own, questioning God as to why he had the strong urge to have her act alongside of him - he went against all odds to have her, even decided to wait ONE WHOLE YEAR for her to complete her tour. The glimpse she saw about Kevin she might have never experienced it before with any other man that she might have been in a relationship with, and maybe just maybe she did not know how to embrace such love and respect; recalling she was already in a relationship with the other person. She had a glimpse of what it is like to be transparent with Kevin and to see his transparency as well, a glimpse of showing her vulnerable side yet being told "it is okay". ~~~~~ ~~~~~ MS.

Can you image Whitney singing this in the BG?

BTW, shippers. I was thinking about the "Memories of The Bodyguard" documentary. It was put on the 2004 version of the film's DVD, I believe. My question is: why celebrate a film's 14th anniversary at all? Did they do it to make a quick buck? Was there material they wanted/needed to release? I started to wonder the other day if KC didn't hatch that documentary as a way to tell Whitney to "hang in there" through her hard times? 2004 is around the time that he said he wrote the letters 7 or 8 years ago. That would date back to 2004 or 2005, and perhaps the timing of the DVD. I'm just randomly speculating, but if KC was one of the film's producers and had so much persuasive influence on the timing of production (delaying it for a year) editing the film (deleting scenes) and casting (we know that story), then maybe he could also have come up with a reason to talk the director, etc., into a documentary of making the film. I could be way off base. Anyone with any other suggestions. Also, The Wall Street Journal had a feature story about "The Weird World of Fan Fiction," on Friday. The parts I read did not mention Kevney, but it was revealing. The fanfiction genre is far older and more respected than I thought. Maybe when I get more time, I'll try either an extended convo or a fanfic for Frank and Rachel. |

As for the release, WB was releasing it on DVD and since it was one of the most successful movies in history and for the studio they wanted to give it some more gusto. Memories of the BG was a good feature. Kevin was one of the producers and had alot invested in that movie, so no surprises there. |

Anyway, Kevin is a trip. As the three stooges would say "he's a bad boy" Here is a link where his former girlfriend defends him. Now this supposedly happened while he was on his honeymoon. http://www.hollywood.com/news/Costne...candal/3497590 Here is the article about the settlement- my thoughts he shoul dnot have settled, but sometimes it happens. http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebri...tner-9587.html Last edited by AchrisL; 06-16-2012 at 08:44 PM |

But yes, fanfiction is drawing all sorts of fans. What the Journal article didn't deal with was the fact that present day established and respected authors write fanfic, like P.D. James with "Death Comes to Pemberley." Quote:
But I want to do a Frank & Rachel convo before long. I'll call it ... wait and see!! It's just past midnight where I am now, though, so I have to rule out posting one now. |

Just noticing the OP again now with the new thread. Love all the Kevney pics though I don't like the 'letters', I think they're corny and unnecessary but that's just me.
I do wonder what Kevin would think about all this speculation about him and Whitney. You see it in all his interviews that the interviewers are fishing for information. He doesn't give it to them but he has given us some interesting cryptic statements over the years! __________________

Thank you. I am doing some of that. water is a favorite I just have to keep it that way. I agree with Raven- a Frank/Rachel story would be hot stuff. Those two knew how to go at it. Just remember I'm here for you. |

Oh yes GobSmacked ...please, please, please! I think the vast majority of us are suffering from your convo withdrawels! The Ali AfterParty one is much anticipated, and as for Kevin/Whitney going off on a safari/treasure hunt//diving adventure fanfic ... well I can't think of anything we'd love more ... other than it being their honeymoon, that is! Afterall ... we ARE talking about "fiction", right?!?!?! No pressure, though! Have a great weekend ladies ... and oh, GobSmacked ... I've got quite a few pics of KC on his Mozambique treasure hunting vacation last week if that'll help inspire you! |
