Kevin Costner was among many stars attending Whitney Houston's funeral. Not only he was present, he also offered some words in remembrance oh his former "Bodyguard" co-star.
Reminiscing about having asked Houston to join him as a castmate in "The Bodyguard," Costner said he “was reminded that this would be her first acting role. You could also think about another singer, was the suggestion — maybe somebody white. Nobody ever said it out loud, but it was a fair question. [I] then told everyone that I had taken notice that Whitney was black. The only problem was I thought she was perfect for what we were trying to do.”
“Whitney, if you could hear me now, I would tell you, you weren’t just good enough, you were great,” Kevin added during his closing remarks. “You sang the whole damn song without a band. You made the picture what it was. A lot of leading men could’ve played my part … but you, Whitney, I truely believe you were the only one who could’ve played Rachel Marron at that time. You weren’t just pretty, you were as beautiful as a woman could be. And people didn’t just like you Whitney, they loved you.”
That's a great speech. Yes, she was loved, loved by us all. Don't you think?
