Houston’s success in the music industry catapulted her into the film world. In 1992, she starred in “The Bodyguard” alongside Kevin Costner, playing a star who hires protection after being tormented by a stalker. It was one of the first interracial films to not make the fact that it was interracial a focal point. Though some critics panned Houston’s acting, the film was an overwhelming success, making more than $410 million worldwide. It also made “I Will Always Love You” one of her most memorable hits — the song went on to win Grammys for record of the year and best female pop vocal.
惠特尼在乐坛的成功也让她跻身影坛。1992年，她与凯文·科斯特纳共同主演了《终极保镖》，在剧中她扮演一位因无法忍受粉丝的骚扰而雇佣保镖的歌星。这是首部黑白人种相恋但种族差异并非焦点的电影。尽管惠特尼的表演招致了一些批评，但并没有影响这部电影的巨大成功，票房收入超过4.1亿美元。《我将永远爱你》（I Will Always Love You）也因此成为最令人难忘的歌曲之一：荣获之后的格莱美年度唱片奖，格莱美最佳流行女歌手奖也被惠特尼捧走。
5、“Waiting to Exhale” 主演电影《待到梦醒时分》
In 1995, Houston starred in “Waiting to Exhale” with Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, and Lela Rochon. The film about black women struggling with relationships opened at No. 1 and made more than $81 million worldwide, proving that a film marketed primarily at a black audience could have wide ranging success. Houston’s song featured in the film, “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” also reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts.
