4. "The Bodyguard"
出演電影《終極保鏢》
Houston's success in the music industry catapulted her into the film world. In 1992, she starred in "The Bodyguard" alongside Kevin Costner, playing a star who hires protection after being tormented by a stalker. It was one of the first interracial films to not make the fact that it was interracial a focal point. Though some critics panned Houston's acting, the film was an overwhelming success, making more than $410 million worldwide. It also made "I Will Always Love You" one of her most memorable hits — the song went on to win Grammys for record of the year and best female pop vocal.
惠特尼在樂壇的成功也讓她躋身影壇。1992年,她與凱文·科斯特納共同主演了《終極保鏢》,在劇中她扮演一位因無法忍受粉絲的騷擾而雇傭保鏢的歌星。這是首部黑白人種相戀但種族差異并非焦點的電影。盡管惠特尼的表演招致了一些批評,但并沒有影響這部電影的巨大成功,票房收入超過4.1億美元。《我將永遠愛你》(I Will Always Love You)也因此成為最令人難忘的歌曲之一:榮獲之后的格萊美年度唱片獎,格萊美最佳流行女歌手獎也被惠特尼捧走。
