bodyguard.jpgThe death of Diana Princess of Wales cost the film it’s sequel for rumors had her to play the part of the female lead. The awards night had several winners who were actually part of the production crew, such as Mychal Smith and Kay Colvin who won the award for “Best sound”, who were actually the boom operator and cable guy working in the scene. Nancy Garber who won “Best Song” was the film’s art department researcher and lastly, Leslie Morales who was one of the nominees for an unknown award was the film’s assistant location manager. The house which was used in the film was the same house used in the film “The Godfather”, in the infamous “Horse Head” scene. The ending scene which had Whitney and Costner dancing involved a camera move which had it travel up a track and transfer towards a circular one to follow the kiss, the cameraman was flung off the rig the first time they filmed it who hurriedly got up, got back to the camera (which by the way was still filming) and continued to film (they used that actual spinning shot in the movie)
