At 96 years old, Clint Eastwood has had one of the most illustrious careers in Hollywood.

Born in San Francisco on May 31, 1930, Eastwood first served in the army before he ventured into acting. He got his big break in 1959, starring as Rowdy Yates on CBS' Rawhide and his career took off from there. Throughout his 66-year-long career, Eastwood has starred in classics such as Escape from Alcatraz, Dirty Harry, Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby, Bridges of Madison County and has directed a staggering 40 films, including American Sniper, Heartbreak Ridge, Flags of Our Fathers and more.

Eastwood's personal life is also remarkable. The actor has been married twice and shares eight children with six women. His son Scott and daughter Francesca have even followed in his acting footsteps, while several of his other kids have made their mark behind the scenes.

As the Hollywood veteran turns 96 today, look back at Clint Eastwood's life in photos.

This great American hero debated an empty chair, as a perfect metaphor for dealing with the Obama-Biden Leftists.

Hypothetical situation, huh? All right, I’m standing on the street corner, and Mrs. Grey there comes up and propositions me. She says if I come home with her, for $5 she’ll put on an exhibition with a Shetland pony...

I once heard Clint had a collection of 30,000 jazz records. I hope that’s true. Bada$$!

I love Eastwood and many of his flicks are classics. Happy Birthday to him!

But I always remember what one of his early colleagues said about him. ‘If they ever have an event honoring all the people in the business Clint has screwed over, they would have to host it at the LA Colisseum’. It may be just sour grapes but...
