bare trees. It's silent until galloping become audible, and Kevin Costner, looking perfectly natural, rides up on a large black horse. The cast of History's "Hatfields & McCoys," a miniseries airing over Deep in the woods outside of Bucharest, Romania, the sun sets early over three consecutive nights beginning Monday, May 28, races against the fading sunlight to shoot a scene. A little later, as the makeup artist deftly removes a beard, which made Costner look old and grungy, he reflects on the historical feud that lured him to produce and star in his major foray into television. "Anybody who goes through war is marked," Costner says of his character, Devil Anse, patriarch of the Hatfields. "Anybody who has killed is marked, or has seen somebody killed is marked. How do you ever truly recover? He went on to father children, create an entrepreneurial business." "Like any man of war, he is not willing to fight over anything," Costner says. "There's a serenity to Devil Anse." Yet he fights for decades with Randall McCoy (Bill Paxton) and his family. Paxton, sporting a bushy beard and long hair, is almost unrecognizable from the clean-cut polygamist on "Big Love." To build a character, Paxton says, "The first thing I like to do is find something they wrote. He left no record; he could not read. He could not write. I went to Pikeville (Ky.) to hear the accent." The mother of all feuds No. 1." BY JACQUELINE CUTLER SQUARE DEAL Since 1920 TRUE 2-SIDED CUSTOM MADE HIGH QUALITY Mare Winningham plays McCoy's wife, Sally. When Costner called to ask her about moving to Romania for a few months, Winningham recalls responding, " 'Oh, do I get to be married to you?' It would have been the fourth time. I don't know if we were married in 'Wyatt Earp.' I was his whore." Instead, Hatfield's wife, Levicy, is played by Sarah Parish ("Dr. Who"), who says it's surreal to be British in a Western, and to play Costner's wife. "I've had some husbands in my time," Parish says, "but he's up there as Another Hatfield kin is Jim Vance, Devil Anse's uncle. Tom Berenger describes his character as a "raccoon with rabies, a psychopath, a misogynist, and throw in a pinch of Bruce Dern. That's the recipe." There's a scene in which Jim whips the wife of his grandnephew, Johnse, bolstering this description. "They are a bunch of hillbillies that went at each other," says Berenger, who looks pretty comfortable with a gun. "I can really shoot," he says. And the accent came easily to him because he lives in South Carolina. "This is more mountain, more twangy," he says. "I've had more fun doing this than I have had in a long time," Berenger says. "The huge cast is fun. It's like 'Platoon.' It's a lot of guys and a lot of humor going on. It's like being on a sports team."
