Kurt Russell and Kevin Costner continue to dance in circles even 30 years later when Russell's casting in the Yellowstone spin-off could speak to an old rivalry!
Kurt Russell Leads New Yellowstone Spinoff!
The legacy of Kurt Russell is unchanging in its scope and grandeur. The actor who worked with Walt Disney melted Charles Bronson's hardened emotions and developed a lifelong friendship with the Hollywood giant was a force of his own. The actor's on-screen legacy, from Westerns to Marvel to the Monsterverse, stands as a calling card for a movie star as relevant in his 70s as he was in his teens.
Somewhere along the way to the top of Hollywood's Olympus, Russell crossed paths with many film stars in the making and others in their third act. Kevin Costner, the epitome of the '80s and '90s, was one such star whose presence influenced Kurt Russell's career as much as Russell influenced his.
In the early 1960s, Kurt Russell made a name for himself by starring in the western series The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters at the age of 12. The A-lister – described by James Gunn as the “most famous cult actor in the world” [Los Angeles Times] – endeared himself to much of Hollywood with his infectious energy and ever-so-cheerful disposition combined with great ambition for his future in the industry in the coming decades.
