Clint Eastwood
 Born: Clinton
Eastwood, Jr., May 31, 1930, St. Mary's Hospital in San Francisco,
California.
Clint Eastwood
is an iconic American actor, composer, and Academy Award-winning
film director and film producer. Eastwood is famous for his tough
guy anti-hero roles, including Inspector ‘Dirty’ Harry
Callahan in the Dirty Harry series and the Man with No Name
in Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns.
Although a registered Republican
in California, and a supporter of Richard Nixon's 1968 campaign,
Eastwood describes himself as a libertarian, describing his
philosophy as "Everyone leaves everyone else alone." In
May 2003 he criticized the Iraq war as a "big mistake"
and defended Sean Penn's controversial visit to Baghdad.
Eastwood, who has been married
twice, has five daughters and two sons by five different women:
Kimber (born 1964), with Roxanne Tunis; Kyle (born in 1968) and
Alison (born on May 22, 1972), with ex-wife Maggie Johnson; Scott
(born March 21, 1986) and Kathryn (born February 2, 1988), with
airline hostess Jacelyn Reeves; Francesca Ruth (born August 7,
1993), with Frances Fisher, his co-star in Unforgiven; and
Morgan (born December 12, 1996), with current wife Dina Ruiz.
Clint Eastwood lived with actress Sondra Locke from 1976 to 1988.
The relationship produced no children.
Eastwood remains a sex symbol for
many. He once said, "I like to joke that since my children
weren't giving me any grandchildren, I had two of my own. It is 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." He has two grandchildren, Clinton
(born 1984) and Graylen (born 1994) of Kimber and Kyle,
respectively.
Eastwood owns the exclusive
Tehama Golf Club located in Carmel Valley within Monterey County.
The invitation-only club reportedly has around 300 members and a
joining price of $500,000.
Clint Eastwood is also an
audiophile, known for his love of jazz. He owns an extensive
collection of LPs which he plays on a Rockport turntable. His
interest in music was passed on to his son Kyle, now a jazz
musician.
