Clint Eastwood, whose cinematic legacy can match anyone in Hollywood history, turns 83 years old today.
He first drew attention as Rowdy Yates on TV's "Rawhide," but he became a star on the big screen at age 34 when he created The Man With No Name in Sergio Leone's great Western "A Fistful of Dollars." He would reprise the character for Leone in "For a Few Dollars More" and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

Clint will always be the MAN, right next to John Wayne. Could you imagine those two together in a film. Wow.....

From Wikipedia:
In 1951 during the Korean War, Eastwood was drafted by the United States Army[16] and assigned to Fort Ord in California, where he served as a lifeguard.[17] While on leave in 1951, he was a passenger on a Douglas AD bomber that ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean near Point Reyes.[18][19] Escaping from the sinking aircraft, he and the pilot swam 3 miles (5 km) to safety. Eastwood was on orders to report to Korea and was returning from regular leave from his parents home when the aircraft went down. His orders to Korea were cancelled and he remained at Ft. Ord as a swimming instructor and lifeguard for Rec Services. He liked Golf and bought the golf course at Ft. Ord from the Gov't after BRAC. (I don't know where the idea of swimming from Alcatraz came from )

I saw these notes on IMDB: He attended President Richard Nixon’s landslide victory celebration in Los Angeles, along with John Wayne, Charlton Heston, and Glenn Ford.
Met John Wayne for the first time at the Republican National Convention. [1968]
