  "account": "Clint Eastwood (California, 96 years old) and Kevin Costner (California, 71 years old) were already two film legends when they shared the screen in the 1990s —a collaboration that has occurred on only one occasion—. Together they recorded A Perfect World (1993), a film also directed by Eastwood, who is characterized by making quick and effective shoots, without going over budget and respecting the production schedule. But the director did not expect Costner to be an obstacle to maintaining his directing style, which consists of filming scenes in one or two takes. The actor had just starred in and directed Dances with Wolves, an overwhelming success that increased his fame, but also his ego. So, in the middle of filming, Eastwood did not hesitate to give him a lesson in humility and replace one of the stars of his film in a scene.",
  "summary": "El Pais reports on an incident that occurred on the set of Clint Eastwood's 1993 film, \"Un mundo perfecto,\" where Eastwood, then 96 years old, delivered a lesson in humility to fellow veteran actor Kevin Costner, then 71. Despite being a well-known and respected director, Eastwood was taken aback by Costner's inflated ego, which had grown following his success in \"Bailando con lobos\" and his role as the director of \"Un mundo perfecto.\" During filming, Eastwood found it necessary to correct Costner's behavior in one scene, replacing the seasoned star with humility.",
