Kevin Costner was born in Lynwood, California on January 18, 1955. His father, Bill, was a ditch digger and an electric line service crew member. He’s actually the third child of Bill and Sharon, but because their second child died shortly after he was born, Kevin grew up with only one older brother, Dan.

Born in Lynwood, CA on Jan. 18, 1955, Kevin Michael Costner was the youngest son of power company worker William Costner and his wife, Sharon. Though an unremarkable student, Costner grew up to be an excellent athlete. In addition to being an all-around sportsman, Costner’s parents made sure that their son received a regular weekly dose of culture by enrolling him in piano lessons and even the church choir. Because of his father’s work, Costner spent a good portion of childhood moving from city to city, up and down the California coast. Some time around the late 1960s and into the early 1970s, William Costner retired, settling his family down in Visalia, CA. After graduating from Villa Park High School in 1973, Costner enrolled at California State University, Fullerton where he majored in business and became a member – and later president – of the Delta Chi Fraternity. While his grades were less than stellar, Costner did... manage to leave college with three important things: his bachelor’s degree, a blushing new bride and last, but not least, a newfound love of acting.
