The Bodyguard (1992 film)

Rare card · No. 19700

The Bodyguard is a 1992 American romantic thriller drama film directed by Mick Jackson, and written by Lawrence Kasdan, who produced it with Kevin Costner and Jim Wilson. Starring Costner, Whitney Houston (in her feature film acting debut), Gary Kemp, Bill Cobbs, and Ralph Waite, the film follows Frank Farmer, a former United States Secret Service agent turned bodyguard, who is hired to protect Rachel Marron, a famous actress and singer, from an unknown stalker. Despite initially disliking each other, Frank saves Rachel from close calls and the two unexpectedly forge a passionate bond. Kasdan wrote the film in the mid-1970s, with the original intention to have it turned into a vehicle for Steve McQueen and Diana Ross before McQueen pulled out of negotiations and Ryan O'Neal took his place. However, after Ross backed off the project due to issues with the script, development was delayed until 1985 when Costner took interest in the script. Filming took place from November 1991 to March 1992...
