The Life of All-American Actor Kevin Costner

In 1994, Costner and Cindy Silva divorced after 16 years of marriage. Their relationship had begun long before his biggest career breakthroughs, which made the split a major personal turning point during the same period when his fame had reached a much larger level.

The divorce came after his rise through Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, Dances with Wolves, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and The Bodyguard. Professionally, he was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but privately, the life he had built before fame was changing.
