More Information

Did You Know..

Clint Eastwood (Actor) .. Harry Callahan

Born: May 31, 1930 in San Francisco, California

Best Known For: Making our day.

Early-life: Clinton Eastwood Jr was born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco. His family drifted as his father looked for work during the Depression. Clint became a loner with few friends and immersed himself in listening to jazz. He taught himself to play the piano, and performed in a bar as a teenager. After several dead-end jobs, he was drafted into the US Army, where he met David Janssen, who inspired him to become an actor.

Career: Clint was signed by Universal Studios, but was dropped after making his debut in 1955's Revenge of the Creature - however, TV series Rawhide made him a star. His three spaghetti Westerns for Sergio Leone proved his worth on the big screen. Since then, he's become a movie icon thanks to hit films such as Dirty Harry, Every Which Way But Loose, and In the Line of Fire. He's also an acclaimed director, making his debut with 1971's Play Misty for Me, and winning Oscars for Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. His most recent projects are Gran Torino, Invictus, Hereafter, and J Edgar. Even though he is into his ninth decade, he still continues to work on major projects.

Quote: "The most gentle people in the world are macho males, people who are confident in their masculinity and have a feeling of well-being in themselves."

Trivia: In 1986, Clint was elected for a two-year term as mayor of his adopted home town, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
