I did not realize that Eastwood will be 90 years old this month...

He was in his early 40s when "Dirty Harry" was made. That was in 1971.

Clint has always been fairly libertine when it comes to the subject of relationships with women.

***********

In his case it was probable very easy to do.

Personal Life
Married twice, Eastwood has also been involved in several high-profile affairs.
He was married to Maggie Johnson from 1953 to 1984, with whom he had two
children, Kyle (b. 1968) and Alison (b. 1972). During that time, he also
had daughter Kimber (b. 1964) with Rawhide stuntwoman Roxanne Tunis.

Beginning in 1975, Eastwood became romantically involved with co-star Sondra
Locke, a relationship that ended bitterly with a palimony suit in 1989.
While still living with Locke, he had two children with Jacelyn Reeves,
Scott (b. 1986) and Kathryn (b. 1988). He and actress Frances Fisher had
a daughter, Francesca Ruth, in 1993. Around that time, reports surfaced
of another Eastwood daughter, born just before the start of his Hollywood career.

In 1996, Eastwood married Dina Ruiz, a 30-year-old TV newscaster, who gave birth
to daughter Morgan in December. The couple separated in 2013, and their divorce was
finalized in late 2014. A few months later, Eastwood went public with his new
girlfriend,
restaurant hostess Christina Sandera.

Hollywood stars are like old patriarchs. They have their acres, vines, and flocks, children, wives, and concubines. That's Hollywood.

That was a classic Sixties trope that lasted into the Seventies: buttoned-down, repressed guy meets liberated free-spirited chick - the so-called "manic pixie dream girl" - who turns his life upside-down. You could give it a generation gap spin, and even reverse the genders and the ages (Cactus Flower, Harold and Maude).

More daring and gutsy: putting Roger C. Carmel in what you hope will be a major motion picture.

I remember Kay Lenz, IIRC she married David Cassidy.

She was also the girl in Rod Stewart’s “Infatuation” video.

Kay Lenz was something to behold in those days. James Woods got to hose her down in a movie called “Fast-Walking”.

A GREAT MOVIE...and a good book. Movie was better than the book. IIRC, it is based on a real story.

Firefox was very interesting & the flying scenes were mesmerizing. Cannot stop watching those close to the ground parts.

Kay Lenz is now 67.

She was born of a Hollywood family...dad put her in one of his films when she was just eight weeks old, per her wiki.

Her only (listed) spouse...David Cassidy (m. 1977 - 1983)

She looked a little like Susan Dey, who played Laurie Partridge, so it was like "Ewww! You married your sister!"

I was never a big fan of “The Brady Bunch” and the Partridges even less. I did think Susan Dey was pretty.

In the last ten years or so, I have begun to realize that Marcia was really hot in her last episodes. I mean really hot!

Mr. Eastwood has been a fav for along time. Dead Pool wasn’t a bad movie. Kinda hokie though.
