Actress and director Sondra Locke, who received a supporting actress Oscar nomination in her first movie role for “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter,” died Nov. 3 at 74. The Los Angeles County Public Health Department confirmed her death.
She died due to breast and bone cancer, according to Radar Online, which reported that she was laid to rest at Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park & Mortuary.
Locke had a contentious relationship of more than a decade with Clint Eastwood, who first cast her in “The Outlaw Josey Wales.”

It was the first of maybe five films I’ve walked out on, and early enough to get my money back.
Clint lost serious stock value after that.
Just really awful
Right
Clint’s Yoko

Except that she broke up his long time marriage
God bless you Sandra r i p!
Yep. Sexy woman.
I’m Topsy, you’re Turvy.

Wrong. Clint broke up Clint's marriage. No one forced him to cat around with her.
RIP
“I think if you compare the fingerprints with those on HIS gun, you’ll know who did it”.
Her look of gratitude was priceless. RIP.
“Clouds are like dreams floating
across a sky blue mind.”
RIP Sondra.
Doh!
Not only that but it had decidedly un Christian messages after each shoot out, except the last one where the govt saved them.

Nice! I still watch the ‘Clyde’ films often - don’t ask me why - so Sondra will remain Lynn Halsey-Taylor (named after a drinking fountain!) to me.
I very much recall the Charlie Rich segment as well as the other musical numbers from the two films. Johnny Duncan did ‘Acapulco’ in the second film and that song became a fave of mine. As you know, Phil Everly made an appearance in the first, Fats Domino in the sequel. Heck, there were Eddie Rabbitt and Glen Campbell as well!
John(ny) Durrill was with The Five Americans (’Western Union’) and then with The Ventures during their late 60s/early 70s days before they returned to their four-piece surf roots. He was the keys player in the ‘Any Which Way You Can’ and composed ‘The Good Guys And The Bad Guys’ which featured in the bar brawl scene and was played over the end credits also.
You may know all this but....;)

Just watched “Every Which Way but Loose” yesterday. Wife gave Sondra a low rating as an actress. Hmmm?
RIP Sondra.
In the early ‘90s I was in Book Soup on Sunset and went to the counter to pay. Placed the book down without paying much attention in front of who I thought was one of the clerks. Looked up after realizing that I wasn’t getting service, and Sondra Locke was standing there smiling at me. Turns out she was there for a book signing and wasn’t getting any attention. Poor gal. But we both got a good chuckle over it.
Age is relative... At my age, 85, 74 is "young"... {:-)
