Un giorno dopo la morte di Graham Greene, Kevin Costner ha reso omaggio al pionieristico attore canadese delle Prime Nazioni.
“A few things come to mind when I think of Graham Greene and our time together on Dances With Wolves,” ha scritto Costner, che ha anche condiviso una scena memorabile tra i loro personaggi su Instagram.
“I think of how willing he was to learn the Lakota language. I think of my joy when I heard that his work on the film was recognised with an Academy Awards nomination. And I think of this scene in particular, when he was able to establish so much about the relationship between Dunbar and the natives with so few words. He was a master at work and a wonderful human being.”
Ha terminato con, “I’m grateful to have been witness to this part of his lasting legacy. Rest in peace, Graham.”
Il ruolo di Greene come Kicking Bird in Balla coi lupi ha lanciato la sua carriera a Hollywood. Ha continuato ad apparire in film di alto profilo come Maverick con Mel Gibson e Jodie Foster, Die Hard with a Vengeance con Bruce Willis, The Green Mile con Tom Hanks e The Twilight Saga: New Moon con Kristen Stewart e Robert Pattinson.
Greene aveva 73 anni.
