[NationalEnquirer] What two-time Oscar winner has completely alienated his Santa Barbara neighbors because he likes to take off and land his noisy helicopter in a field on his property? The still-handsome 60-something star thinks he’s untouchable and refuses to park his chopper at a nearby airport!
I think Kevin Costner lives in Santa Barbara and has won two Oscars.
not 60 yet
Easy – Kevin Costner who is not really a nice person anyway so not surprised here. Costner – untouchable?
Kevin Costner. “Untouchable” is a giveaway.
Kevin Costner–and it will bite him in the hindquarters–with the FAA
De Niro but I though he lived in NY?
Michael Douglas. Won for Wall Street (Best Actor) and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (Best Picture). He has a house in Santa Barbara and he and his family have been fixtures there for years, so he probably thinks he owns the place. He’s in his 60s and is still (relatively) handsome.
Easy – Kevin Costner won two oscars for _Dances with Wolves_ and was also in _The Untouchables_.
Kevin Costner is my guess – he has a house in SB, but he’s only 57.
Harrison Ford
With the exception of the phrase “60-something,” I feel like this is Kevin Costner – 2 time Oscar winner, still handsome, lives in Montecito, lands the copter in a “field” (Field of Dreams?) and is “Untouchable?”
DeNiro seems to fit, he was in The Untouchables. But I thought he lived in NYC. But he probably has homes all over the place though.
well, this one is simple. Untouchables star Kevin Costner, who has won 2 oscars.
Kevin Costner
Harrison Ford?
Hm, I was sure it was Jeff Bridges, age 62, who has lived in Santa Barbara with his wife for over 16 years…. But he has only won 1 Oscar! Back to the drawing board…
Jeff Bridges is apparently one of the nicest guys in show biz and respectful of others. He comes off as a total sweetie.
Michael Douglas (a wild guess).
Indiana Jones.
Harrison Ford
jeff bridges would have been perfect but i only think he won an award for crazy heart
The Oscars website has a database that I searched. Here’s a list that I trimmed down to only include best/supporting actor who are still living:
Michael Caine — Supporting Actor (1986) (1999)
Daniel Day-Lewis — Actor (1989) (2007)
Robert De Niro — Supporting Actor (1974); Actor (1980)
Gene Hackman — Actor (1971); Supporting Actor (1992)
Tom Hanks — Actor (1993) (1994)
Dustin Hoffman — Actor (1979) (1988)
Sean Penn — Actor (2003) (2008)
Kevin Spacey — Supporting Actor (1995); Actor (1999)
Denzel Washington — Supporting Actor (1989); Actor (2001)
The only actor in his 60s is Robert De Niro. “Untouchable” is probably a reference to the movie the Untouchables, in which he starred as Al Capone.
Good job with the list! I agree with your findings hehehe
Well, I’m not sure how much more proof you could possibly come up with. I concur, after you did all the hard work, LOL!
But I don’t think robert de niro has a house in Santa Barbara Michael Dougla does.
You talkin’ to me?!?! You talkin’ to me?!?! Think you are on to something.
Robert DeNiro…..”untouchable”
Untouchable=Kevin Costner
or Robert De Niro (who acted Capone in “untouchables”)
Michael Douglas
De Niro (starred in The Untouchables) would work, but I think he’s in his 70s.
Spielberg. Two Oscars. Lives in SB.
Spielberg’s a director, not an actor.
Actually, nothing in the blind says this is about an actor. “Oscar winner” could very well be for Best Director and “star” might simply mean famous. For me, “untouchable” does tip the scales in Costner’s favor, but Spielberg can’t be ruled out.
I was SO sure this was Kevin Costner. He’s won two Oscars, has a ranch in Santa Barbara and Played Elliot Ness in The Untouchables. But he’s only 57. Still could be him assuming the Enquirer doesn’t know its stuff (which it frequently doesn’t)!
Sounds like Kevin Costner but he isn’t 60 something. He is still in his fifties. Harrison Ford flies copters and is the right age but he isn’t a two-time Oscar winner and I don’t think he lives in Santa Barbara but in Jackson Hole, WY.
My research tells me Kevin Costner was in the movie The Untouchables. He has 2 Oscars. And he lives in Santa Barbara. However, I don’t know if he has a helicopter and he’s only 55 years old (not 60-something).
Kevin Costner
Robert DeNiro?
aaaaaaand kevin costner is only 56 but won two awards and was in the untouchables…
Kevin Costner.
Sorry–KC only won one, for Dances with Wolves. Back to wikipedia.
Eh, technically two winnings for DWW (Best Director and Best Picture). He fits!
Kevin Costner, but doesn’t he actually live in Montecito?
My guess this is John Travolta.
First time poster, love your blinds BG!
Thanks, Green! Love, Ace
John Travolta and Jeff Bridges live out in that area, I think.
I’d go with Kevin Costner… He was in Untouchables, has 2 Oscars, lives on a ranch in Santa Barbara, which is large enough that it’s not unreasonable to think that it would have a helipad… Only problem is, he just turned 57.
Kevin Costner
Two time Oscar winners:
Fredric March (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, 1931 and The Best Years of Our Lives, 1945) Dead
Spencer Tracy (Captains Courageous, 1937 and Boys Town, 1938)Dead
Gary Cooper (Sergeant York, 1941 and High Noon, 1952) Dead
Marlon Brando (On the Waterfront, 1954 and The Godfather, 1972) Born 1924 puts him at 87
Jack Nicholson (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, 1975 and As Good As it Gets, 1997) Born 1937 puts him at 74
Dustin Hoffman (Kramer vs. Kramer, 1979 and Rain Man, 1988) Born 1937 also 74
Daniel Day-Lewis (My Left Foot, 1989 and There Will Be Blood, 2007)born 1957 puts him at 54
Tom Hanks (Philadelphia, 1993 and Forrest Gump, 1994) Born 1956 puts him at 55
Sean Penn (Mystic River, 2003 and Milk, 2008) Born 1960 puts him at 51
none are in their 60′s, but Tom Hanks is the closest.
Hee, Marlon Brando has been dead for nearing a decade now.
John Travolta
Kevin Costner. Too easy!!
John Travolta.
BTW, first time posting. I LOVE THIS SITE!
IMDB claims John Travolta is 58 now, but I’m guessing he’s a tad older than that, since it’s so common for everyone in Hollywood to fib about age. I’m sticking with John Travolta. But the “untouchable” clue has me perplexed…
Hi Susie! Love, Ace
i googled this and all i could come up with was dustin hoffman and tom hanks…
Has John Travolta ever won Oscars?
No he hasn’t. I don’t know why people keep guessing him.
Robert DeNiro – 69
Al Capone in the Untouchables
Oscars:
The Godfather
Raging Bull
doesn’t deniro live in nyc?
Kevin Happy Ending Costner.
Harrison ford?
Ditto on the guess.
Kevin Costner, with the hint being “thinks he’s untouchable.”
Michael Douglas. He won for acting (Wall St) and producing (One Flew over the Cukoos Nest)
Who’s in the Untouchables?
Costner has 2 Oscars but is 56.
Connery has one Oscar and is 71.
De Niro is 68 and has two Oscars.
Oh look we have a winner!!
Robert Redford!
Michael Douglas
Michael Douglas.
My guess was Robert de Niro. Everything fits, but I don’t know if he has property there.
And “alienated” could be a nod toward Taxi Driver.
He was my guess too but it didn’t show up for some reason ??
But, like you, I don’t think de Niro has property in LA. De Niro loathes LA. He lives in NY and I doubt he would have any property in LA since he hates even going there.
Santa Barbara isn’t in LA. It’s the central coast of California and hundreds of miles from Hollywood.
Oops. It’s a hundred miles even, not hundreds. Just seems like that when you hit LA traffic.
Sorry! I meant California. I’m guilty of using them interchangeably: LA ~ California. I’m Canadian.
It might as well be hundreds, with Southern California traffic.
There aren’t many two-time male oscar winners to choose from: Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Daniel Day-Lewis, Dustin Hoffman or Jack Nicholson.
HARRISON FORD!
Never won one Oscar, let alone two.
Kevin Costner, FTW. He owns land out by the polo fields here in SB. Plus, I heard he threw a huge Christmas party for his kids and their friends on this land that included Santa flying in on a helicopter.
Not in his 60′s.
Costner only won one Oscar, best picture for Dances with Wolves. De Niro.
He also won for directing. As others have pointed out, he hasn’t hit 60 yet.
De Niro. “Untouchable.”
Costner has two Oscars for Dances With Wolves, but he’s not in his 60s.
does De Niro owns property in Santa Barbara? I was pretty sure he only lived in New York.
De Niro has won two Oscars and was in the Untouchables. He’s 68 so fits the blind.
DeNiro- He’s 67
My bad, I had guessed John Travolta, but he was only nominated twice (I thought I read he won, but I misread IMDB).
DeNiro seems like he would have that attitude to not care what neighbors think, but I’ve never heard him described as handsome. Sounds more like Costner, and that his real age might be a few older than the 57 years reported.
Costner won for best director AND best picture.
Sooo, it’s either De Niro who fits all the clues but doesn’t live in Santa Barbara, or Costner who does live in Santa Barbara but isn’t in his 60′s. Something tells me this blind is a little broken.
Harrison Ford ??
