The Interracial Relationship

Some critics felt there was no chemistry between Houston and Costner. One writer said watching them was like waiting for two statues to mate. But that didn’t keep fans from appreciating it and finding that Houston and Costner had great chemistry on screen. Audiences loved them together. But inevitably, there were questions about the presence of an interracial couple. Costner said, after Whitney passed, in an interview with Yahoo movies that though there were concerns from producers, he was sure that audiences would get the general love story.

He said, “This is not race. This was about good, old-fashioned chemistry. … I kissed her once for everybody in America, and I kissed her once for myself.”

Whitney echoed his sentiments, saying it just didn’t matter.
