song|Clint Eastwood (song)

Clinton Eastwood, Jr. (born May 31, 1930) is an
United States|American actor, Academy Award
winning film director, film producer and composer.
 Eastwood is famous for his "tough guy" roles,
including Dirty Harry and the Man with No Name in
Sergio Leone|Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns. 
As a director, Eastwood has become known for
high-quality dramas imbrued with a pessimistic
tone, such as Unforgiven, Mystic River
(movie)|Mystic River, and Million Dollar Baby.

==Early life==
Born in San Francisco, California on May 31, 1930,
as the son of a steel worker, Eastwood did a stint
in the United States Army before moving to Los
Angeles to study at Los Angeles City College. He
studied primarily business administration, but
eventually dropped out.

==Film career==
Eastwood began work as an actor, appearing in
B-films such as Tarantula (film)|Tarantula and
Francis in the Navy.  In 1959, he got his first
break with the long-running Television series,
Rawhide.  As Rowdy Yates, he made the show his own
and became a household name across the country. 
But Eastwood found bigger roles with Sergio
Leone|Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars (Per un
pugno di dollari) in 1964, and soon followed it
with For a Few Dollars More (Per qualche dollaro
in piĆ¹) (1965). In these and his third film with
Leone, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono,
il brutto, il cattivo) (1966) he found one of his
trademark roles, the mysterious "man with no
name". All three films were hits, particularly the
third, and Eastwood became an instant
international star, redefining the traditional
image of the American cowboy. 

Stardom brought more roles, though still in the
"tough guy" mold.
In Where Eagles Dare (1968) he had second billing
to Richard Burton but was paid $800,000. However,
he also began to branch out. Paint Your Wagon
(1969) was a Western movie|Western, but a musical.
Kelly's Heroes (1970) combined tough guy action
with offbeat humor. 1971 proved to be one of his
best years in films. He starred in the thriller
Play Misty for Me (1971), and The Beguiled (1971).
But it was his role that year as the hard-edged
police inspector Harry Callahan in Dirty Harry
that gave Eastwood one of his most memorable
roles. The film has been credited with inventing
the "loose-cannon cop genre" that remains imitated
to this day. Many have said that Eastwood's
portrayal of the tough, no-nonsense cop touched a
nerve with many who were just plain fed up with
crime in the streets. 

Eastwood continued to take cop, western and
thriller roles, including sequels to Dirty Harry:
Magnum Force (1973), The Enforcer (1976), Sudden
Impact (1983), and The Dead Pool (1988). The
Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) was an important
contribution  to the Western movie|western genre.
As the late '70s approached, he found more solid
work in comedy|comedies such as Every Which Way
But Loose (1978). 

It was the fourth Dirty Harry film, Sudden Impact
(1983), that made Eastwood a viable star for the
'80s. President of the United States|President
Ronald Reagan|Reagan even used his famous "make my
day" line in one of his speeches.  His fifth and
final Dirty Harry movie, The Dead Pool (1988), was
a success overall, but it did not have the box
office punch his previous films had achieved. 
After much less successful films such as Pink
Cadillac (1989), and The Rookie (1990 movie)|The
Rookie (1990), Eastwood started taking on more
personal projects such as directing Bird
(film)|Bird (1988), a biopic of Charlie
Parker|Charlie "Bird" Parker, and starring in and
directing White Hunter, Black Heart (1990), an
uneven, loose biography of John Huston.

Eastwood rose to stardom yet again in the 1990s.
He starred in and directed the gritty, cynical
western, Unforgiven in 1992, taking on the role of
an aging ex-gunfighting|gunfighter, long past his
prime.  The film was nominated for nine Academy
Award|Oscars, including Academy Award for Best
Actor|Best Actor for Eastwood, and won four,
including Academy Award for Best Picture|Best
Picture and Academy Award for Directing|Best
Director for Eastwood.  The following year,
Eastwood gave a fine performance as a guilt-ridden
United States Secret Service|Secret Service agent
in the thriller In the Line of Fire. He expanded
his repertoire again with the love story, The
Bridges of Madison County (1995), and took on more
work as director, much of it well received,
including Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
(1997), Mystic_River_(movie)|Mystic River (2003),
and Million Dollar Baby (2004), for which he won a
rare second Best Director award -- at 74 the
oldest active director to do so.

Eastwood developed directing as a second career,
and has, indeed, generally received greater
critical acclaim for his directing than for his
acting.  He has chosen a wide variety of films to
direct, some clearly commercial, others highly
personal.  Unlike many actors who also direct,
Eastwood frequently directs films in which he does
not appear.  Eastwood has become a highly
respected American director.  Eastwood also
produces many of his movies, and is well known in
the industry for his efficient, low-cost approach
to making films.  Over the years, he has developed
relationships with many other filmmakers, working
over and over with the same crew, production
designers, cinematographers, editors and other
technical people.  Similarly, he has a long-term
relationship with Warner Bros. studio, which
finances and releases most of his films.  In more
recent years, Eastwood also has started to write
music for some of his films.

Eastwood received Kennedy Center Honors in 2000.

==Personal life==
Eastwood, who has been married twice, has five
daughters and four sons by five different women: 
Kimberly (born 1964), with actress Roxanne Tunis;
and Kyle Eastwood|Kyle (born 1968), and Alison
Eastwood|Alison (born May 22 1972, with his
ex-wife Maggie Johnson. His two children with
airline hostess Jacelyn Reeves are Scott (born
March 21 1986) and Kathryn (born February 2 1988).
He has a daughter Francesca (born August 7 1993)
with Frances Fisher, his co-star in Unforgiven,
and Morgan (born December 12 1996) with his new
wife Dina Ruiz. He also has an older son, Lesly
(born February 13, 1959), to Rosina Mary Glen
(born September 1, 1940).  Lesly was adopted after
spending six months in a Salvation Army Home for
young unmarried mothers. Clint and his pregnant
wife Maggie found and introduced themselves to him
in the late summer of 1967 when he was 8. He was
living in a small village in Fife, Scotland,
called Kinghorn. Although they never made contact
with him in any way again, Eastwood would
regularly vacation at the secluded Kingswood Hotel
on the road between Kinghorn and Burntisland. He
was seen on many occasions, playing golf at
Burntisland golf course. His autographed picture
still hangs in the Penny Farthing Bar in
Kirkcaldy, which he donated personally.  

"I like to joke that since my children weren't
giving me any grandchildren, I had two of my own.
It's a terrific feeling being a dad again at my
age. I am very fortunate. I realize how unfair a
thing it is that men can have children at a much
older age than women." This disregards his
grandchildren Clinton (born 1984) and Graylen
(born 1994) by Kimber and Kyle, respectively.

==The 'Stan Laurel' myth==
One recurrent rumour has it that Eastwood is the
son (legitimate or otherwise) of Stan Laurel. This
is untrue, although a passing facial resemblance
to the comedian (plus the fact that Eastwood was
born on the same day as one of Laurel's children)
has ensured that the legend often resurfaces
http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/eastwood.asp.

==Political career==
In addition to his career as an actor, Eastwood
was elected mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California
on April 8, 1986. Running as a Republican Party
(United States)|Republican, he received 72% of the
vote (voter turnout was also doubled over the
previous mayoral election). He served a two-year
term before declining to run for re-election.

Neither especially conservative nor liberal,
Eastwood usually describes his political beliefs
as "libertarian", although he has admitted to
voting twice for Dwight D. Eisenhower. He has
become one of the most prominent opponents of the
Americans with Disabilities Act and the disability
rights movement, after his restaurant in Carmel
was hit with an ADA enforcement lawsuit.  In May
2000, he testified before Congress in support of a
bill that would have added procedural protections
for small-business owners.  A few List of
disability rights activists|disability rights
activists have alleged that his decision to make
Million Dollar Baby may have been motivated by
this earlier experience.

In 2005 Eastwood threatened to kill the liberal
filmmaker Michael Moore if ever Moore showed up at
his home with a camera. This appeared to have been
a reference to Moore's controversial interview
with Eastwood's friend, the movie star and
Conservatism|conservative activist Charlton Heston
for the movie Bowling for Columbine. Moore's
spokesman said "Michael laughed along with
everyone else, and took Mr. Eastwood's comments in
the lighthearted spirit in which they were given."
Publicly, Eastwood has not commented
further.Inote|NewsMax, 13 January

==Filmography==

Eastwood also has directed a number of films,
including many that he starred in.

==Quotations==
Some of Eastwood's lines are among the best-known
movie quotations of all time.  (Remembering, of
course, that Eastwood himself did not write any of
these lines.   Eastwood has never taken a writing
credit on a film.)

From Dirty Harry:
:Harry Callahan: "I know what you're thinking:
'Did he fire six shots or only five?'  Well, to
tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've
kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44
Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world,
and would blow your head clean off, you've got to
ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' 
Well, do ya, punk?"

From Sudden Impact:
:Harry Callahan: "Go ahead, make my day."

From Bronco Billy:   
:Bronco Billy: "Dyin's too good for ya."

From Million Dollar Baby:
:Frankie Dunn: "Girlie, tough ain't enough."

From The Outlaw Josey Wales:   
:Josey Wales: "Are you gonna pull those pistols,
or whistle Dixie?"

From The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly:   
:The Man with No Name: "There are two kinds of
people in this world my friend: Those with loaded
guns, and those who dig. You dig."

a reference to Moore's controversial interview
with Eastwood's friend, the movie star and
Conservatism|conservative activist Charlton Heston
for the movie Bowling for Columbine. Moore's
spokesman said "Michael laughed along with
everyone else, and took Mr. Eastwood's comments in
the lighthearted spirit in which they were given."
Publicly, Eastwood has not commented

==Quotations==
Some of Eastwood's lines are among the best-known
movie quotations of all time.  (Remembering, of
course, that Eastwood himself did not write any of
these lines.   Eastwood has never taken a writing
credit on a film.)

From Dirty Harry:
Harry Callahan: "I know what you're thinking: 'Did
he fire six shots or only five?'  Well, to tell
you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda
lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum,
the most powerful handgun in the world, and would
blow your head clean off, you've got to ask
yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?'  Well,
do ya, punk?"

From Sudden Impact:
Harry Callahan: "Go ahead, make my day."

From Bronco Billy:   
Bronco Billy: "Dyin's too good for ya."

From Million Dollar Baby:
Frankie Dunn: "Girlie, tough ain't enough."

From The Outlaw Josey Wales:   
Josey Wales: "Are you gonna pull those pistols, or
whistle Dixie?"

From The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly:   
The Man with No Name: "There are two kinds of
people in this world my friend: Those with loaded
guns, and those who dig. You dig."

From Unforgiven:
Bill Munny: "It's a hell of a thing killin' a man.
You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna
have."

From Unforgiven:
Bill Munny: "Deserve's got nothing to do with it."
