Dolly Parton's Bodyguard Mistook Kevin Costner for Threat

Dolly Parton's bodyguard once mistook Kevin Costner for a dangerous individual during a hotel hallway encounter. Parton recounted the incident in her memoir, describing how her bodyguard physically restrained Costner, believing him to be a threat.

Parton clarified the situation, identifying Costner as the actor who would later produce and star in 'The Bodyguard.' The film famously featured Whitney Houston's iconic rendition of Parton's hit song, 'I Will Always Love You.'

Following Parton's passing on August 25 at age 80, Costner shared a touching tribute. He expressed gratitude to Parton for entrusting him with her beloved song, reflecting on her remarkable presence and gracious nature.
