⚡ The Bodyguard Era: A Star on Fire
Then came The Bodyguard (1992). Starring opposite Kevin Costner, Whitney not only acted — she owned the screen. The movie grossed over $400 million worldwide, and its soundtrack became the best-selling movie album of all time.
Her rendition of I Will Always Love You didn’t just top charts — it rewrote history. That soaring finale? It’s been replayed billions of times. Few songs capture heartbreak and strength so perfectly.
Whitney had reached a peak no one else could touch. But as often happens, the higher the climb, the steeper the fall.
