In a patriotic post celebrating July 4, Kevin Costner pays homage to America’s history while expressing hope for the future. The 68-year-old actor shared an Instagram snapshot from his award-winning directorial debut, “Dances With Wolves,” in which he carries an American flag. “Happy Fourth, friends,” he wrote. Reflecting on his career, Costner dives deep into America’s history, acknowledging both its ugly and beautiful parts. He celebrates the hope that drove our ancestors and calls for it to continue pushing us towards a more perfect Union, together.
In “Dances With Wolves,” Costner plays Union Army Lieutenant John Dunbar, who encounters a group of Lakota while exploring the American frontier. The film, which marked his directorial debut, not only showcased his acting skills but also played a pivotal role in reviving the Western genre in the movie industry. It received 12 Academy Award nominations and won seven, including Best Picture and Best Director for Costner himself. In 2007, “Dances With Wolves” was recognized by the National Film Registry for its cultural and historical significance, as preserved by the Library of Congress.
Currently, Costner is working on “Horizon: An American Saga,” a project that takes him back to the wild, wild west. This upcoming film aims to explore the 15-year period before and after the Civil War, focusing on the expansion and settlement of the American west.
Unfortunately, Costner’s personal life has taken a turn as his 18-year marriage to Christine Baumgartner comes to an end. The Academy Award winner’s public resurgence, courtesy of the successful series “Yellowstone,” is now marked by the filing of divorce papers. The couple, who separated on April 11, 2023, have both requested joint custody of their three children: Cayden (15), Hayes (14), and Grace (12). A civil hearing is scheduled for July 5 to address the matter.
