I just gotta tell you how nice it felt to be selected as the parade marshal," said Costner in a taped video. ."You know, you just don't see those things coming and I'm not sure what the list looked like, but I was glad I was on it." ."I have a lot of found memories of being in Calgary. It's made a big difference to me in my life to make Open Range there and let them go. It's one of the beautiful spots and the world kind of focuses on Calgary ... this thing that started a long time ago, celebrating western heritage."."So on July 8, I'll be there and I'm really honoured to be a part of what you guys have done for so long and carry on a tradition, so see you at the parade, OK." .Costner, a Hollywood legend, was born in 1955 in Lynwood, California.
