Costner: Houston overcame doubts to be great
The actor spoke Saturday at Houston's funeral in Newark, N.J.
He tells of what the pair had in common: Both had been raised in the Baptist church and both liked to sing. He says Houston, of course, was a much better singer.
1992's "The Bodyguard" was a smash hit. Hollywood.com says it made $121.9 million domestically and was No. 7 on that year's hit list. Costner tells of his persistence in getting her cast but credits Houston for an outstanding performance.
Houston died Feb. 11. She was 48. A cause of death hasn't been determined.
