Kevin Costner Pays Tribute to His Late 'Yellowstone' Co-Star

Kevin Costner turned to social media to share an emotional tribute to his late television father, Yellowstone co-star Dabney Coleman, after the famed actor's death at the age of 92. The Oscar-winning star called it an "honor" to have worked alongside the iconic actor.

Costner portrayed Dutton patriarch John Dutton on Yellowstone, and Coleman played his character's father, John Dutton Sr. Costner shared several still photos from a powerful scene the two actors played together in the Season 2 finale, "Sins of the Father," in which John Dutton tells his dying father that he will miss him, and his father reveals all of his own vulnerabilities:

"One of the most heart wrenching scenes I’ve been a part of," Costner writes. "What an honor to have gotten to work with Dabney Coleman. May he rest in peace."

Coleman died on May 16 at his home in Santa Monica.

His daughter, singer Quincy Coleman, confirmed his death in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter:

My father crafted his time here on Earth with a curious mind, a generous heart and a soul on fire with passion, desire and humor that tickled the funny bone of humanity. As he lived, he moved through this final act of his life with elegance, excellence and mastery. A teacher, a hero and a king, Dabney Coleman is a gift and blessing in life and in death as his spirit will shine through his work, his loved ones and his legacy … eternally.

Coleman's decades-long career in film and television included starring roles in Tootsie, On Golden Pond, WarGames, Cloak & Dagger and more. His performance as a sexist, bullying boss in 9 to 5 opposite Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin was one of the biggest roles of his career.

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan also saluted Coleman after the news of his death broke, telling Deadline, "I had the opportunity to work with Dabney in 2003, and learned priceless lessons in the power of simplicity as an artist, but more importantly I witnessed Dabney’s humility, grace, and patience (with my 10,000 questions).

“I never forgot those lessons, and was humbled myself when he agreed to appear on Yellowstone," he added. "His performance was yet another lesson in bravery and emotional honesty.

“Dabney Coleman is a treasure," Sheridan finished. "He will be missed and admired, always.”
