Clint Eastwood (1930 - )
Date of Birth
31 May 1930, San Francisco, California, USA
Birth Name
Clinton Eastwood Jr.
Height
6' 2" (1.88 m)
Biography
Actor, director, producer. Born Clinton Eastwood, Jr., on May 31, 1930, to Clinton, Sr. and Ruth
Eastwood. He has one older sister, Jean. After traveling and looking for work throughout California
during the Depression, the family settled in Oakland, where Eastwood graduated from Oakland
Technical High School in 1948.
Eastwood worked odd jobs as a hay bailer, logger, truck driver, and steel-furnace stoker. In 1950, he
was called to military duty with the Army Special Services, based at Ford Ord in Monterey, California.
While in the Army, Eastwood met actors David Janssen and Martin Milner, who convinced him to move to
Los Angeles in 1954 after he finished his military duty. Eastwood took a screen test and signed a
contract with Universal for seventy-five dollars a week. His first roles were in the science fiction films
Revenge of the Creature (1955), and Tarantula (1955). Eastwood's rugged looks landed him the role of
Rowdy Yates in the CBS TV series Rawhide (1959), which ran for eight seasons.
With his rugged good looks and icon status, Clint Eastwood was long one of the few actors whose name
on a movie marquee could guarantee a hit. Less well-known for a long time (at least until he won the
Academy Award as Best Director for Unforgiven), was the fact that Eastwood was also a
producer/director, with an enviable record of successes. Born May 31, 1930, in San Francisco,
Eastwood worked as a logger and gas-station attendant, among other things, before coming to
Hollywood in the mid-'50s. After his arrival, he played small roles in several Universal features
(he's the pilot of the plane that napalms the giant spider at the end of Tarantula [1955 - A Fistful of
Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) - Eastwood
soon exchanged this limited status for bona fide international stardom.
Upon his return to the U.S., Eastwood set up his own production company, Malpaso, which had a hit
right out of the box with the revenge Western Hang 'Em High (1968). He expanded his relatively limited
acting range in a succession of roles -- most notably with the hit Dirty Harry (1971) - during the late '60s
and early '70s, and directed several of his most popular movies, including 1971's Play Misty for Me (a
forerunner to Fatal Attraction), High Plains Drifter (1973, which took as its inspiration the tragic NYC
murder of Kitty Genovese), and The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976). Though Eastwood became known for
his violent roles, the gentler side of his persona came through in pictures such as Bronco Billy (1980), a
romantic comedy that he directed and starred in.
As a filmmaker, Eastwood learned his lessons from the best of his previous directors, Don Siegel and
Sergio Leone, who knew just when to add some stylistic or visual flourish to an otherwise straightforward
scene, and also understood the effect of small nuances on the big screen. Their approaches perfectly
suited Eastwood's restrained acting style, and he integrated them into his filmmaking technique with
startling results, culminating in 1993 with his Best Director Oscar for Unforgiven (1992). Also in 1993,
Eastwood had another hit on his hands with In the Line of Fire. In 1995, he scored yet again with his film
adaptation of the best-selling novel -The Bridges of Madison County, in which he starred opposite
Meryl Streep; in addition to serving as one of the film's stars, he also acted as its director and producer.

Aside from producing the critical and financial misstep The Stars Fell on Henrietta in
1995, Eastwood has proven to be largely successful in his subsequent efforts. In
1997, he produced and directed the film adaptation of John Berendt's tale of
Southern murder and mayhem, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and he
followed that as the director, producer, and star of the same year's Absolute Power,
1999's True Crime, and 2000's Space Cowboys. With Eastwood's next movie, Blood
Work (2002), many fans pondered whether the longtime actor/director still had what it
took to craft a compelling film. Though some saw the mystery thriller as a fair notch in
Eastwood's belt, many complained that the film was simply too routine, and the
elegiac movie quickly faded at the box office.
If any had voiced doubt as to Eastwood's abilities as a filmmaker in the wake of Blood
Work, they were in for quite a surprise when his adaptation of the popular novel
-Mystic River hit screens in late 2003. Featuring a stellar cast that included Sean
Penn, Tim Robbins, and Kevin Bacon, Mystic River was a film that many critics and
audiences cited as one of the director's finest. A downbeat meditation on violence
and the nature of revenge, the film benefited not only from Eastwood's assured eye

faithful to Dennis Lehane's novel and from severely affecting performances by its three
stars -- two of whom (Penn and Robbins) took home Oscars for their efforts.
With Eastwood's reputation as a quality director now cemented well in place thanks to
Mystic River's success, his remarkable ability to craft a compelling film was nearly
beginning to eclipse his legendary status as an actor in the eyes of many. Indeed, few
modern directors could exercise the efficiency and restraint that have highlighted
Eastwood's career behind the camera, as so beautifully demonstrated in his 2004
follow-up, Million Dollar Baby. It would have been easy to layer the affecting tale of a
young female boxer's rise from obscurity with the kind of pseudo-sentimental slop that
seems to define such underdog-themed films, but it was precisely his refusal to do so that
ultimately found the film taking home four of the six Oscars for which it was nominated at
the 77th Annual Academy Awards -- including Best Director and Best Picture.
Eastwood subsequently helmed two interrelated 2006 features that told the story of the
Battle of Iwo Jima from different angles. The English-language Flags of Our Fathers
relayed the incident from the American end, while the Japanese-language Letters from
Iwo Jima conveyed the event from a Japanese angle. Both films opened to strong reviews
and were lauded with numerous critics and industry awards, with Letters capturing the
Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language film before being nominated for a Best Picture
Academy Award.
A prolific jazz pianist who occasionally shows up to play piano at his Carmel, CA
restaurant, The Hog's Breath Inn, Eastwood has also contributed songs and scores to
several of his films, including The Bridges of Madison County and Mystic River. Many saw
his critically championed 1988 film Bird, starring Forest Whitaker (on the life of Charlie
"Bird" Parker), as the direct product of this interest. Eastwood also served as the mayor
of Carmel, CA, from 1986 until 1988.
Eastwood was elected mayor of Carmel, California, in 1986, serving two years. He owns a
pub in Carmel, the Hog's Breath, as well as a rustic resort lodge on the outskirts of town.
In March 2003, he received the Life Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild in
Los Angeles.
Eastwood has been married only twice, but had a number of relationships and fathered
several children out of wedlock. He was married to Maggie Johnson between 1953 and
1980. They had two children, Alison (1972) and Kyle(1968). While married to Johnson, he
had a child by Roxanne Tunis: Kimber Eastwood (1964). He became romantically involved
starting in 1975 with costar Sondra Locke, which ended bitterly with a palimony suit in
1989. He is the father of two children by Jacelyn Reeves: Kathryn (1988) and Scott(1986).
He and Frances Fisher had a daughter, Francesca Ruth. He married Tina Ruiz, a TV
newscaster, in 1996. They had a daughter, Morgan, in December 1996.
