More Information
Did You Know..
Kevin Costner
(Actor)
.. Mariner
Born:
January 18, 1955
in
California
Best Known For:
Dances with Wolves.
Early-life:
Born in Lynwood, California, on January 18, 1955, the third child of Bill and Sharon Costner. His dad's job as a telephone engineer required the family to move regularly, which unsettled the youngster and led to him being a daydreamer. He claims he wasn't gifted academically, but he eventually went to California State University to study marketing and finance. A chance meeting aboard a plane with Richard Burton inspired him to turn his back on a business career and pursue acting.
Career:
Costner believed his break would come in 1983's The Big Chill - but he was cut from the final film. However, director Lawrence Kasdan cast him in Silverado, which boosted his career. His first major leading role arrived in 1987 in The Untouchables. Since then he has picked up a Best Director Oscar for Dances with Wolves, and had box-office hits with The Bodyguard, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Field of Dreams and JFK. He has struggled to find successful projects in recent years, but Open Range in 2003, which he starred in as well as directing and producing, was a return to form. He won a 2012 Emmy Award for his role in miniseries Hatfields & McCoys. He's also appeared in Mr Brooks, The Guardian and Man of Steel.
Quote:
"Real heroes are men who fall and fail and are flawed - but win out in the end because they've stayed true to their ideals and beliefs and commitments."
Trivia:
Away from acting, Costner is a keen golfer and plays in a country music band.
Dennis Hopper
(Actor)
.. Deacon
Born:
May 17, 1936
in
Dodge City, Kansas
Best Known For:
Hitting the road in Easy Rider.
Early-life:
Dennis Lee Hopper was born on May 17, 1936, in Dodge City, Kansas, to parents Jay and Marjorie Hopper. He first became interested in acting while at school. In 1954 he graduated from Helix High School, San Diego, California, where he was voted 'most likely to succeed'. He established himself as a child star in the theatre before winning TV roles. His big break came in cult 1954 Western Johnny Guitar.
Career:
Hopper featured in more than 150 films and TV programmes, including Rebel Without a Cause and Giant (both with James Dean), and the iconic Easy Rider, which he also directed. However, years of drug and alcohol abuse took their toll, and his film work foundered during the 1970s (with the notable exception of Apocalypse Now) and early 1980s. David Lynch's disturbing 1986 drama Blue Velvet gave Hopper's career a kick-start, after which he worked steadily on both the big and small screen until his death in May 2010, notably Speed, True Romance and Land of the Dead.
Quote:
"Like all artists I want to cheat death a little and contribute something to the next generation."
Trivia:
Away from acting, he was an accomplished artist, photographer and passionate golfer.
