Clint Eastwood turns 93 this Wednesday with a bearing and a vital attitude that is still enviable. The well-known Hollywood actor has participated in more than fifty films throughout his career, whether as an actor, director, producer or composer, and has also acted for several television series. But what still amazes him today is not his impressive track record, but that he’s still in the business at his old age. It is rumored that the actor is currently working on a new action movie called Juror.
Living myth of Hollywood, Eastwood has won the Oscar four times but even having been nominated, he has never won the statuette for his performance, but for directing the films Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. But given his predisposition for work in the elderly, not everything has been said. Whether or not Cry Macho will be the last film Eastwood appears in can’t be confirmed yet. It has already been said that Gran Torino was going to be the last and it was said again about Mula and it is still possible that he will do some more.
We will always remember him as the eternal cowboy in a cowboy hat who knew how to elegantly step away from the Western fad and reinvigorate his career in contemporary films. And after that he also elegantly passed from the front to behind the cameras. Since 2008, the actor has worked with Warner in the development of 10 films, including the successful Invictus, American Sniper, Sully, Richard Jewell and Cry Macho.
The versatile filmmaker, between acting and acting, before reaching stardom, performed a multitude of trades. He was a lifeguard, forest firefighter, golf caddy and clarinetist. He was born in San Francisco, into a working-class family and managed to graduate from Oakland Technical High School. Taking advantage of the fact that music was another of his artistic talents, he opted to play the clarinet in nightclubs, misrepresenting his age in exchange for sandwiches and beer while earning money with other jobs.
And it is said that personally he was quite a Don Juan. The actor has been described by his biographers as a “serial womanizer”, and it is not for less, since the actor has had up to eight children with six different women. The filmmaker has had relationships with actresses Catherine Deneuve, Jill Banner, Jamie Rose, Inger Stevens, Jo Ann Harris and Jean Seberg. But his first marriage was in 1953 to Maggie Johnson when he was 23 years old, but that marriage was not a happy one.
A decade later, during the trial to divorce Johnson, Eastwood had an affair with the dancer Roxanne Tunis from whom his first daughter, Kimber Tunis, was born in 1964. But he reconciled with Maggie Johnson and had two children with her: Kyle Eastwood , in 1968, and Alison Eastwood, in 1972. But happiness did not last on this second opportunity either and the couple separated in 1978, when Eastwood had already started another romantic relationship with the actress Sondra Locke, with whom he participated in multiple films and lived together for almost fourteen years.
That relationship could be said to be quite toxic and despite not being married they ended up in court. During the last three years of his cohabitation with Locke, he secretly fathered two children with flight attendant Jacelyn Reeves: Scott Reeves, in 1986, and Jacelyn Reeves, in 1988. In 1990 Eastwood began living with actress Frances Fisher, whom he had met while filming The Pink Cadillac in late 1988. They had a daughter, Francesca Fisher Eastwood, born in 1993, and divorced in 1995.
Clint Eastwood’s next partner was Dina Ruiz, the second woman he married. They married in 1996 and raised a daughter the same year, Morgan Eastwood. The marriage ended in divorce in 2013. Since then, the actor has known a few romances with women much younger than him, such as his idyll with Christina Sandera a few years ago.
